It's been 6 years since...

we've done an IVF cycle.  That was the 5th cycle and it blessed us with the princess.  It also blessed us with two totsicles.  That was a first for us.  For 6 years the "tots" have been waiting, waiting for the time when we'd see if they too would join our family.  We've come close to doing a FET many times, but for one reason or another we haven't.  Our RE has retired for lack of a better word.  Well really, he just doesn't see patients anymore, he runs the financial side.  However, Friday, we have an appointment.  The agreement is we'll meet with one of the other REs to monitor the FET and then our RE will do the transfer.  So it looks like we're heading for our last hurrah.  I'm not even sure how to feel.  I'm scared to think this could work, I've been heartbroken before and when your hopes are high, it hurts even worse.  So, I am going with the, "what's meant to be will be" mantra and praying that God's will be done.  Here goes nothing...

**I am grateful for
1) our RE's office and the wonderful staff
2) Dr. Gill, and the fact he is coming in just for us
3) prayers, they work
4) possibilities

Happy Easter and then some!

Wow, it's been quite a while since I've been on here.  Same old excuses as always, so I won't even try.  Life is busy, kids are growing, time is slipping away faster and faster.  We've had birthdays, parties, hellos and goodbyes to loved ones.  Emery is the big 5 now and Chase just turned 10.  My babies are growing up way too fast.  We are back in baseball season and between that and dance, we are pretty much booked each night of the week.  It's great and exhausting!

Emery has excelled in dance and was offered and invitation to join company next season, but we declined.  She will be starting kinder which means going from a half a day to a full day, and that right there is a big change.  Company would have meant dance until 7:45 at night and then another 1 1/2 hours each week in rehearsal and we felt it would just be too much to take on for her little five year old self.  So, we will move up to the next dance class and look at company again in a year.  It would have also meant quitting baseball and she likes that an awful lot too!

Chase is now just about 6 inches short of being as tall as me and thinks that's the greatest thing ever.  It's heartbreakingly wonderful!  He's growing into a great young man that can get me more frustrated than anyone I  know (well, he runs a pretty tight race with his daddy).  I can't believe he is 10, I feel like time is going way too fast. We are all pretty excited to be at the same school next year, but it'll be the only year it happens because after that he will head off to the middle school next year.  He is doing great on the ball field and at school, as usual.

Life is good and we continue to be blessed.  We have some big things coming up and maybe I'll be able to get my spare time under control and back to blogging.  I find it so easy to log in to Facebook, that usually all my updates just end up over there.

I hope everyone had a blessed Easter, I know we did!

***I am grateful for
