Fall here we come!

Let me start by saying that I am sorry that I have been MIA for spring and summer. It was a busy time in John and my lives. We purchased another home, and moved in in May. We are thrilled to have more room! We now have lots of room to entertain, and an entire room dedicated to our promotional business!! YEAH! I don't have to work in the garage anymore! And we have a room just reserved just for Baby S. Its a beautiful room, lots of windows and light, and already painted waiting the arrival of our little bundle of joy.
But here's the hard part, we are yet to be pregnant!

We are still working on having a baby, however we have decided to entrust our dreams of parenthood to our wonderful fertility specialist, Dr. L. We were all set to start our first cycle of IUI (artificial insemination) using injectible medication. But I was told that I had a cyst on my ovary and had to sit out a month. So I find out if we are good to go here in two days.

Its been a rough month! I love fall, and I am defiantly happy that the weather is cooling off, but in other ways its bitter sweet. If I had not had a miscarriage last year we would be celebrating a our child's first birthday, I was due on October 1st. 2007. I don't know if I will ever forgot that, and I often wonder if I will ever not think about what could have been.

The other reason that its been rough is that we have many friends and family who's children have birthday's in September. So I have been bombarded with kids, babies and pregnant women all month long. I did better then I expected, looking and holding babies, reminds me of what we are fighting for, and it gives me the strength to keep going through all this, because I know there will be joy in the end.
