What a change

It's been 7 years (yesterday) since Chris was baptized a member of the church. I'm so proud of how far he's come and how he continues to progress with building his testimony. What a great man I'm married too!!

Wrong again

If you thought the 3rd time was the charm, you're wrong. The 3rd IUI didn't work and now it's on to bigger things. We doing surgery next month to hopefully find something the other tests, ultrasounds, HSG, etc didn't find. We can only hope that will bring us good news. At the very least, the Dr. can get laser off some of the endometriosis and make life less painful.

I am looking forward to having this month off and not stress about everything. I'm also very ready for our vacation to Utah next week!!

Few finished projects

So some people have been asking to see pictures of a few things we've been working on. The 1st one is our newly planted flower bed in the front. We tilled up the old one and planted new plants. The 2nd one is of our new DVD holder we built into the wall. We think it works great and it's very functional. Chris did a great job. The 3rd one is of our newer car. We sold the GTO and got a Trailblazer SS last month. It has much more room and is much more functional. Chris loves it because it has the same engine as the GTO, so it goes just as fast.

We find out in 4 days if the last round of IUI worked. Keep your fingers crossed.

Round 4

I had my 3rd IUI today. The procedure was pretty painless and very mild cramping. They did found some problems with the specimen and are now concerned about that. We discussed a few things and they'll probably do an analysis in the next few weeks to find out if it was a fluke or something new we have to tackle. The last 3 months were fine, so I think it was a fluke. If it doesn't work this time, we're taking a month off; we'll be in Utah for next months cycle anyway. I also think it will be a good break; this process is VERY stressful.

I discussed what our options are moving forward and the Dr. and she said we'll probably move to injectables. If the analysis comes back with bad news, then the only option would be IVF. That's what we don't want! Let's just pray everything works out this month.

Our new fence

As I promised, here are some pictures of the fence work. It looks soooo much better!!!

What's new

After 4 1/2 years at Lead Dogs, Chris has finally put in his notice and is officially working for Dad. We're both very excited at this new opportunity and he's feeling a new sense of motivation.

We also spent the weekend replacing our fence. It was the original fence from 25 years ago, so everything including the posts had to be replaced. We're still not done; the weather has not been cooperating. Hopefully we can get all the fence boards up in the next few days. I forgot how fun it can be to put a fence up! I'll post pictures soon.

Some old story, different day

Well, it looks as though we're still not pregnant. =(
The Dr. made me get lab work done today just to be sure, but I'm sure 2 home pregnancy tests don't lie. They'll call me with results tomorrow and if it's negative then we start the whole process all over again. I'm so annoyed with this whole thing.
