Countdown to Stim Test

My next post will probably be after the test and have more info about how it went....7 days!!

On to the blogging...
I've been trying to become more crafty and homemaker-y these days. I've nixed the idea of planting a garden for fear of tiring of it quickly and having it all die. Although my neighbor said there is a neighborhood gardening pact and everyone is assigned a few things to plant and everyone shares....so maybe I can handle just one or two things. Maybe next year :)   For now, I'm starting simple and symbolic. I bought four colored pail mini planters one for each failed IVF cycle. I planted two different types of flowers and put them out in the sun on my patio.

Jim was asking me about our next steps the other day. I think he's getting anxious to pick up and start again. Can't say that I blame him, I'm pretty anxious myself. I'm not really anxious about the process but moreso about that glimmer of hope that maybe THIS time will be OUR time. Too bad I couldn't skip all the parts between now and then :)

I'm accomplishing what I set out to do in January though. I'm enjoying my break and losing some weight. It may sound silly but I think I'm really finding myself, the self that I really want to be through all this. I'm eating right, losing weight, working a stable job, fixing up the house, and I'm building a network in my neighborhood. I'm loving my life as it is right now and I think that is important, if you can't appreciate what you have at the moment how can you appreciate anythign else that comes your way.

On that note, I'm going to appreciate being a bridesmaid this weekend for my dear friend Suzanne's wedding. :)  YAY!!!  I'm so happy for her and I'm so excited to be a part of her special day!!!  We're going to party harty!!!
