Sorry it has been so long! I didn't even realize how long it had been until I looked at the last post!!





So a lot has happened till now. The IVF news first! On May 10th I took my last birth control pill! YEAH! (hated them) We went to the RE on May 15th to have an U/S and blood work. The U/S was perfect. The technician said my uterus lining was right where it should be and that I had a lot of little follicles. Thank you God! We graduated to stims! The nurse took as back to a conference room and gave us the protocol. I am to take 225 cc of Gonal F, 1 vile of Menapour, and 5 cc of Lupron. Ouch! Today was our first day to take them. I am taking the Gonal F and Lupron in the morning and I will take the Menapour in the evening. This will make it easier during the work week. We have our next appointment on Tuesday, May 20th. Leaving it up to God! I can't believe we are almost PUPO! Our potential egg retrieval is scheduled for May 26th and the egg transfer would be on May 29th. So amazing! I am thrilled and scared all at the same time! Again, all I can do is leave it up to God!





So now to the events outside of IVF. My husband and I had been wanting to purchase land and build for a while now. Well, when the possibility of being pregnant grew closer, my plans for moving to the country were changing. I was worried that we would have to live in temporary housing until we had the money to custom build. I did not want my new baby to live in a repo mobile home while construction was happening! So, it was confirmed, our plans changed. We decided to still sell our current home and buy a used home in San Antonio. So we started looking. And looking. And looking. Some homes came close to what we wanted but we would have to change some things. Then some houses were not even close at all! While we were driving around an area of town we liked we found properties with new construction. My husband and I thought, lets at least check it out! We fell in love!! The model home was everything we wanted. Large home with a master suite on the bottom floor and a lot of the amenities came standard. We left the model home and looked at several other builders. None of them came close to the first we saw. It was like finding the perfect wedding dress; you just knew it was the one! We went home and thought about this transaction for a couple of days. I visited the model home every day. We thought, lets see if we would qualify for the mortgage first. So we called the mortgage company and we easily qualified. So we took the plunge. We went back to the builder, finalized our plan, gave our earnest money, and we are now under contract!!

We are so excited and so blessed to have this opportunity! I must say, May is turning out to be quite an exciting month. I will be pregnant in May and we are building a new home!!

More to come....God is Great!!
