New directions...

For those that are curious....we decided to make an appointment with a fertility specialist. Its now been 1 year and 3 or 4 months since we've been trying to get pregnant. After dealing with my issues and finding out Raymond doesn't have any issues, this is the route we are moving towards. Its not necessarily the way I want to go, but we need some answers.

I was thrown back by my mother-in-law asking me if we've "given to to God". She's not the most religious person, and this just shocked me. I was never expecting that to come out of her mouth. I told her we have, but it made me think. Was this God's way of telling us He has something better in store, or we need to go see someone who will explain what is going on? I'm confused, but content. I(we) need an answer to why this just isn't working. And trust me, its not because we're trying too hard, or we aren't doing it enough, or anything like that. I HAVE TRIED IT ALL!

And of course, you mention fertility specialist to some people and they start thinking about Jon & Kate plus 8! The Lord know I would love this, but I'm not so sure I would remain sane! Hopefully in a few weeks we will have some sort of an idea of our new direction.

Oh yeah, and Raymond is going to start school soon for a nursing program. Any prayer for us and him will be greatly appreciated. We're stressed as it is, but feel this is a needed direction for our lives.

Halloween




Since we don't have children of our own....we relish in the love of our nieces and nephews. This is the cutest PUMPKIN I've seen in a loooong time!
