2nd Time Around

Nearly four months ago to the day, we decided we needed a moment to regroup and refocus. We decided to take a break from the needles and pills and mood swings. At first, I was hesitant with this decision. I felt like we had no time to stop, I needed you and I needed you now.

When I finally agreed to the break, January was my deadline. Two months MAX and then back into the swing of things.

Well, here we are, almost doubled my "max" time off and I must say, it was an absolutely wonderful decision. Reasons why this break was needed:

1.) Time to cleanse my body of all the chemicals I'd poured in from August to November
2.) Time to cleanse my head of all the negativity
3.) Time to focus on finishing up my National Boards and school work (which paid off...I was just named Teacher of the Year!)

This week I was able to travel to Florida, enjoy some quiet time with my parents, soak up some sun, and get ready to jump back into the swing of things with both feet. I know fertility treatment will never be easy, but at least this time I know what to expect. I know there will be great ups and downs, but I know God has a plan for us. I pray someday soon you are in my arms, sweet baby.
