Shopping With Daddy~

Michael went to the grocery store with his daddy this am once Adam arrived home from work. It's such a precious photo, I simply couldn't help but share!

Picking Pumpkins, And Other Things (Like Noses)

Today my mom, dad, Michael & I went to a local pumpkin stand. We make an annual trip to the pumpkin patch however schedules just didn't provide us with the time this year.

My little peeping Tom peeping to see the animals.

I love the Oregon license plate!

The End Of This Chapter~

I'm saddened to report that our IUI cycle didn't come to fruition. While this was simply not meant to be at this point of our life, I can't help but take this as a lesson in life. I went into this knowing that God has a plan for us & if it was meant to be that it would happen. My emotions have the best of me at the moment, but I truly don't think I can continue this emotional roller coaster. The devastation of four and a half years of trying has taken a toll on my soul. While I'm blessed to have Michael, the sense of mourning the fact that I may never experience pregnancy & the miracle of birth has left a little ache in my heart. 

With this being said, I need to focus on the positive things that I have in my life. I have an amazing husband, son, four legged furry children, family, career, friends, and a warm place that I call home. It's important for me to remember that it could be worse! 

Day 15~ BFN~

My prego test was a big fat negative this am, however I started spotting yesterday. I'm a little hopeful as the coloring is typical of implantation spotting (the little nestling burrowing into the uterus).
I'm going to call our infertility dr today to see how to proceed. Perhaps wait a couple of days and retest? Will keep you posted!
