Absolutely amazing....

Come on Spring....

Wow what a beautiful day it was today. Macie and I were able to spend most of the afternoon outside in the sunshine. She loved riding her big girl bike while i sat on the rocking chair and read a bit. These days make me want spring weather to hurry up and come and to actually stick around.

The climb.....

I often think when we are in the midst of a battle its hard to see or want anything but whats on the other side. After the battle is over we realize that what we should appreciate most is the climb that brought us to the point we are in this exact moment. The battles of life are never easy or fun but they are so necessary, they make us who we are and they help us to cling tight to God and the strength that we find in Him during our weakest moments. This song is such an encouragment to me to just keep climbing the mountain and know that even if what I want doesnt ever happen then the battle will still have taught me more than i could have ever imagined.

The Climb

I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep tryin
Got to keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
theres always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they might knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,
cause

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you're going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about
It’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

Check this out:)

Great news!!!

We just wanted to update everyone with the results of my labs and the test i had done this week. All the blood work came back completely normal and the hysterosalpingogram came back normal also. So this means there are no blockages or anything that are preventing us from getting pregnant. So now we just continue the clomid, pray and wait patiently believing God is going to give us our miracle soon:)Thanks for all your continued prayers!!!

Live, Love and Laugh

Update on whats ahead....

We just wanted to update everyone on where we are at with the infertility stuff. I had some lab work done today to check some of my hormone levels which we should know the results in a few days. Scott and I will be going to Riverside next tuesday for me to have the hsg test (hysterosalpingogram) this will check to make sure there is no scarring or blockages in my uterus and fallopian tubes. I will also start taking the clomid again this week. As of right now if there are no abnormalities found during the hsg test then we will do two cycles or months of clomid. If we dont get pregnant in those two months we will take a few months off and do three rounds of clomid with IUI (intrauterine insemination) this summer. This could be a long road ahead but we are trusting God already has gone before us and will help carry us through this regardless of the outcome or what we may face ahead. Please continue to pray for us that we will seek God's will for us in this all and not just what we want. Thanks for all your love and support we will keep you all updated as we get test results back.

Get well soon...

Here are a few pictures of macie with her get well cards, balloon and elmo tattoos that kirk, aj, brady, bethy and georgia got her. She was so excited when kirk brought them over. Notice her shirt covered in blood, i havent had the heart to try and get it off over her head yet:( She has been runny around crazy all day, typical 3 year old they bounce back from stuff so quickly.

Macie's Big Boo Boo

Its been quit an eventful day already today and its only 2:00. Macie was upstairs in her bedroom playing after church when scott and I heard a big boom. By time i got upstairs she was screaming and crying at the top of her lungs. You all who are parents know the difference between a hurt cry and just a normal cry over other stuff. After i heard the loud boom and then her cry i knew something was very wrong. When i got upstairs i noticed blood on the carpet and scott was holding her saying "oh my its bleeding bad" i grabed a washcloth and took at look at the back of her head and it was just pouring blood. It was hard to tell how big the cut was because of all the blood and her hair was in it. We hurried up and rushed her to the ER. It took the doctor some time to clean it which macie screamed the whole time, it took everything in me to hold back tears because i felt so bad i just wanted to yell at them and tell them to stop and leave my baby alone. After they got it cleaned scott and I were able to look at how big the cut was and it was a pretty good laceration. It took 4 of us to hold her down while the doctor put 6 staples in the back of her head....i hate seeing my baby hurt i think its one of the worst things in the whole world i wish i could have just taken her place at that moment. She was a trooper though and the doctors gave her a little stuffed puppy for being such a big girl now she is feeling much better but she keeps telling me "mommy take them out" So now we wait 7-10 days then we go back to the doctors to have the staples removed. Pray for our little macie that her head will heal good and she wont have alot of pain.
