Busy as a Bee!!

WoooooWeee!!  The past 2 weeks have been absolutely crazy!  During our trip to Fort Worth, we got a call that Thomas' grandfather, "Giffa" as he was called had passed away.  The week before we also lost a close friend of the family whose funeral was the Tuesday prior.  They always say God doesn't give you more than you can hangle and I am a firm believer in that!  I feel that God has put everything in our path for a reason.. and by no means do I think I'm the strongest person around to deal with things but I do have my faith and so does Thomas.  We came home early to get prepared for the services and headed to San Antonio.  The services were absolutely beautiful.  Thomas' Giffa and Nanny's love for each other is undeniable.  They have the love that people talk about having or dream of having.  They have stuck with each other through it all and will until they both reach eternal life.  I would like to think that Thomas and I will be there some day.  Yes we get on each others nerves, we bicker and I probably nag too much but there is no one on this earth I would rather travel through this life with.  We were able to see family that we don't get to see very often and that is always nice, just would have been better under different circumstances.  We got to see Thomas' sister Allison and his cousins wife who are expecting a week apart!!  My mom saw them both and she thinks Allison is going to have a boy and Shalyn a girl, can't wait to see what they will be! 

Things seem to be moving so quickly!  Next Friday the 26th I will be going in for all of my baseline ultrasound and blood work.  The 30th I will start my injections and I believe Lacy will start hers this weekend!  I pray everything goes smoothly for her.  Some of her injections will be uncomfortable and the last thing I want for her is to be uncomfortable.  She has 3 appointments tomorrow in order to prepare for everything.  She has been so helpful and open to everything while having a life of her own.. I don't know how she does it!  We're going to have to find away to send her and Paul on a major vacation after all of this!  This time next month we will have already done this transfer and should be on our way- God willing!  Tonight I have to tie Thomas down to initial 50 pages for our gestational agreement and we have to have it notarized and faxed to the attorney.  We have to have a contract and lawyer through all of this in order for our doctor to treat Lacy.  Medications should be here any day now.  If you could say an extra prayer for Lacy.. she is so strong, but the past week has been very trying loosing Giffa-- he was her #1 guy and if you knew him you would know why.  Just another note to add.. Ive been on birth control for 11 days now and I feel like I am either extremely bloated or Ive gained a few pounds!  Ahhh what the heck!  Anyways, Thomas just got home so we need to get started with this paper work! One more thing, throw in an extra prayer for anyone you know that might be going through IVF.. a former co-worker has gone public with her blog and has received a little negativity.. Remember, not one of us had all of this in mind.  Trust me I'm sure we would all love to be able to get pregnant without a problem, and until you have not been given that chance don't judge, point fingers or try to understand because you never will.. But do have a heart and think before you speak.  As I've said before if you have children and were able to conceive with no problems.. you're blessed in that situation, we're just blessed in different ways. Until next time! #babybray
