Updates, Answers & Misc. Info

*Mom-still doing the same, still feeling the same…nothing really new to report; just please pray that nothing is growing inside her brain. (If your new you can read here to catch up)

*Poppee-Zach’s grandfather is doing the same. Thank God!!! He has his good and bad days, but thankfully not any worse and still his happy ol’ self :) (If your new you can read here to catch up)

*Zach-we are approaching his knee surgery. He is getting a little nervous, not about the actual surgery, but about the recovery. He drives an oil truck for a living, so his leg/knee is VERY important. Please pray for a smooth surgery and fast and speedy recovery, I will keep you updated as we near May 19th. (If your new you can read here to catch up)

*Fertility stuff-I’m on CD28 (finally had time to count down and figure out where I’m at!!), however I have no clue if I have ovulated for sure, nor do I know when I should expect AF…I’m really not expecting anything to come of this cycle to be quite honest though—it’s all in God’s hands though, so you never know :)

*Mothers day is nearing and I have decided I love/hate this day…I love it b/c I am more than excited to spend it with my mother, and I don’t think I really need to discuss why I hate it. Every year Mothers Day and Fathers Day get harder for us! Please pray that God keeps us strong through this day and that we are able to be positive with no tears :)

*I’ve had several suggestions on fundraisers for us…we are thinking about these and considering these. Come June if we are still not pregnant and we do have to go to a fertility clinic this may very well become a great idea to help us. I pray something wonderful happens before then and it’s not an option, but we are thinking about it, and thank you to the many for the suggestions. And why I am on it, thank you to those that have made a donation to the “Pifer Bean” Fund. You all seize to amaze me, we are so very grateful!!!!

* I have received emails asking about addresses, we have posted a P.O Box on the left side tool bar for those who wish to send cards, letters, etc. Also I have received questions from some asking if I would be offended or sad if they sent us baby stuff, NO. You can ask anyone who knows me in real life, I LOVE looking at baby stuff and honestly I already have some things because I have Faith that we will one day have our “Pifer Bean” that we are praying so hard for. Thank you again for your kind thoughts, we appreciate it more than you will ever know.

* I have received tons of emails wanting to know when and if we will do IVF/Adoption. This is a very touchy subject for my husband and I. We are letting God lead us through this, so when God brings us to this that’s when we will do them. We do know in June we are going to a fertility clinic to see what needs to be done to conceive our “Pifer Bean” and if they tell us IVF or Adoption that’s when we will start saving so that we can do either/or. God has a plan, we know he has something wonderful in store of us; we are trusting in him and letting him guide us through this.

* What fertility clinic will we go to? That’s a tough question and maybe ya’ll can help…there are 2 options. 1st- is in Austin (which is 2-3 hours away) this is the furthest one away; however this one works with my Dr’s office in town. I can get the ultrasounds and so forth right down the road and just travel to Austin for the BIG stuff…then the 2nd is in Temple, this one is about 30-45 minutes away, however this one does not work with our Dr’s office so we would be going to the actual fertility clinic for everything. We are torn, of course the one that works with our Dr’s office seems easier, however the closer one seems more convenient. Were praying God leads us in the right direction.

I think that’s all for now :) Thank you again for all being so wonderful! :)
