*Usually, I'm really good at not buying terrible things at the grocery store. Sometimes I'll get mini candy bars because I know I can just eat one and be okay. Today, I was a lost cause. I bought a half gallon of Edy's Thin Mint ice cream AND a new type of tasty crackers/chips. I think it's okay, though :)
*We are starting our next round of Clomid soon. I'm on the Provera again, waiting for a period. Still a little hesitant, but hopeful. I'm finding it harder to talk with people about it, only because almost everyone I talk to has an answer for my infertility and tells me that I'm going about it the wrong way, I should have tried this or that, I should be more patient. This is what I have to say: It's not your life. It's not your body. I have a broken body that CANNOT have children without the Lord's intervention and right now we feel that modern medicine is that intervention. I don't care what you think, so stop telling me you know best for me or you think that this is an easy fix. It sucks and you're not helping.
However, I have not had the guts to say that to anyone....yet.
* I really do promise to finish posting about our Europe trip soon.
*We're starting a kitchen makeover, as I like to call it. We are going to paint the walls (bright) yellow, with red trim, paint the cabinets white, get a new sink, get a new counter top and finally remove a few overhead cabinets and put up floating shelves. I am so excited! I'm going to sand cabinets today!
*I'm training for a 10k. It's May 18th and my very dear friend Allyson is doing it with me. I'm pretty excited. Also, I've decided that if I don't get pregnant on this round of Clomid I may just take a break (what's a few months on three years?!) and train for a marathon! That also makes me excited.
*The other day I was so overwhelmed by being around people (I know, me?!) that I spent a whole afternoon baking! I made Apple Buttermilk cake, Whole Wheat buttermilk pancakes, Buttermilk biscuits, and I baked a ham. I'm sure you never would have guessed that I have some leftover buttermilk to get rid of. :)
*Finally, the thin mint ice cream was not as great as I had hoped it would. I'll stick to the frozen cookies next time.

Glad you tried that ice cream....now I won't have to, besides nothing is better than a thin mint cookie. :)
I can't wait to see the changes to the kitchen.
And, I'm sorry that people are so insensitive. I'm hoping that I'm not one of those people. Love you!!
My heart just broke when I read the section about what others are saying. To me,you are an inspiration. I don't believe for one minute that God would have given us modern medicine if he didn't want us to use it. And even with the medicine you are having to be patient and trust Him. You truly are amazing. Please know that there are some of us out there that think you are doing the right thing!
And good luck with your race on the 18th!

YOU GO GIRL
I'm laughing about your buttermilk. I do the same thing - why don't they make it in smaller containers?
LOVE YOU
