My plan: To have children very close in age so they can grow up together, play tons, and be very best friends. Well sometimes ‘my plans’ don’t turn out as expected which has been hard…
4 months after Zahra was born I was already thinking about a sibling for my beautiful little girl. I figured I just have to be patient I am breastfeeding and sometimes that will delay getting pregnant again. SO I waited and waited. When Z was 8 months we were having some biting issues while breast feeding so I thought maybe it’s time to be done. My secondary reason to stopping was that I thought okay maybe now I will get my cycle back and be able to get pregnant…I waited and waited. In May I finally made a Doctors appointment and learned that I have PCOS. The MD I was seeing had several different options for me to think about, progesterone, D&C, BCP’s. Well we choose BCP’s after a month of being on those I was over it. I just really wanted to be pregnant so why was I taking birth control pills~ plus they were giving me more migraines. I went in to see another MD (the one I saw before had graduated and was off doing a fellowship). So this guy walks in and right off the bat says “I’m sending you to the fertility clinic, you want a baby they can get you pregnant faster then I can”. I felt this was abit premature, don’t you usually have to try for a year before seeing at FS? Well we went to the fertility treatment and WOW was that overwhelming. One step at a time~ we just need to get me to ovulate. Right? A months later I am thru progesterone and clomid. I had my ultrasound yesterday and there were 25+ immature follicles in each ovary, which isn’t good. Today, I have my appointment with the FS and she will give me the verdict of how things are looking.
Another big decision we have to make soon is where we are going to live once this fellowship is over~only 10 months left! We really have no idea but am hoping that the jobs in Idaho will either be great or really suck…so then the decision will be easier and more clear. So far the jobs in the Twin Cities have been okay, nothing great.

One of my all time favorite verses:
Show me your ways, O LORD,
teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.Psalm 25:4-5

My Aunt Debbie made Zahra this beautiful quilt.
Right now Zahra is loving books. This morning she was looking at her books for over 30 mins just flipping thru pages. Zahra is walking more then crawling now!
