You are not alone.

                                          

At times, this journey can be a lonely one. 
Don't get me wrong, I have an amazing husband, family and friends who are there for me all the time, whenever I may need them, but sometimes this can just be plain lonely. 
Sitting in the appointments, going through "examinations", getting numerous tests done, taking the medications, dealing with their side-effects and handling monthly disappointments can take it's toll on a person. 

To all the ladies I know (and don't know) who are going through this same journey and to all of you who are struggling with other trials, today I am reminding you (and myself) that you are not alone. 
These things you are going through are not in vain, He has a plan and purpose for you and will not let you go through this alone. 
Let's focus on that today. 

"I will never leave you nor forsake you." ~ Hebrews 13:5

One of "those"days.

Have you ever had one of "those days"?   We all have. If you say haven't, you're lying, and lying isn't cool.  Being on Clomid can induce "those days" a lot more often (for those of you who don't know what Clomid is - it is a fertility drug...pills, hormones, ovaries, eggs, etc - you get the point.) Anyway, I thought I would illustrate what one of these days can look like...while most are not as dramatic as this one - I just wanted to get the point across. I may or may not have had a day like the one illustrated below... It starts out all fine and dandy. Although you feel like there may be something lurking in the corner of your subconscious, you ignore it and begin your day. The world is your oyster. Life is great!  Then...something happens. It can be big, it can be small. Maybe it is an annoying co-worker who likes to chew loudly in your presence, maybe a grumpy client you have to deal with, perhaps a bad hair day...wh

Change.

I had a doctor appointment earlier this week to sit down with my doctor and re-assess our "situation".  I left feeling hopeful and encouraged, but also nervous.  We are changing a few things here and there about what we are doing, and change always makes me a bit anxious. You know what else makes me nervous...side effects.  I really have been trying to laugh them off.  I mean, I can usually tell when I am over-reacting to something or being irrational from these meds - like when I spill half the mac n' cheese in the sink while draining the water and almost have a complete meltdown, until Will laughs and says "it's just mac n' cheese hun, it's not the end of the world!" (For those of you who haven't met Will, he is pretty much super amazing...and hott).  Or when I want to punch someone in the face just for breathing too loudly...no worries, I have never physically harmed anyone...just in my head.  Some days  are easier to laugh it off tha

Dance in the Rain.

Sometimes I am surprised by how strong God thinks I am.  Sometimes I  think that He is mistaken...but He is never mistaken.  He has a plan.   Clearly not the same plan as I had, but a better one - I am sure. Sometimes I feel like I'm in the middle of a TV show...maybe a comedy,  sometimes a drama (I watch a lot of TV).  Usually it's like a comedy, in the sense that  every time I turn around someone is telling me that they are pregnant  or "going off their pill but not trying yet", which only means it's a  matter of time before they too are telling me that they are expecting.  (Let's be honest ladies, as soon as we go off that pill the timeline  gets moved up.)  I hear these words and suddenly the sound of the "Debbie Downer" skit  from SNL comes on "Wah Waaaah" and I want to look up at the sky and  say "Really, God, another one?! Can't I keep ONE friend around that  isn't thinking of having kids right now? I could use a buddy
