Hey ladies! I know it's been a while since I've given you an update, but not much has happened. I've still been working on losing weight. I've lost 22.6 lbs now!!! Excited it not even close to how I feel. DH and I have already books our beach trip for our 4 year anniversary in June. I'm ready to sport that bathing suit and short. But of course if for "SOME REASON" I have a belly bump (LOL) I would still sport that with pride!!! LOL! We go back to the doctor the middle of February, that is unless AF shows up on her own around the 7th. Then we will go sooner. Which is fine with me! I'm ready to get things starting again!!!
On another note, I got a (new to me) vehicle. YAY!!! I LOVE IT! It's a 2006 Honda Pilot. We have plenty of room to grow into now.
LOVE IT!!! I have been wanting one of these for a long time!!!! Third row seats!!! Lots of room!!! Now all we need is a baby to fill up that space!!!
This past weekend was my mom's 48th Birthday. I called my Aunts (My mom's sisters) and asked if they wanted to go out with us Friday night. We decided we would all go to Sips and Stokes. If you haven't heard of this before, it a class that teaches you how to paint a certain painting while you sip on wine or any other drink. We had such a great time and i could tell my mom really enjoyed it.
Me and My Mom getting ready to paint. The best Mom ever!!!
My Aunts Theresa and Margaret. Love these Gals!!!
The Finished Product! Theresa, Me, My Mom, and Margaret.
Eating TCBY after painting. Poor Margaret had to sit in the naughty chair. LOL!!!
This is a video of my Aunts practicing their ZUMBA while our paintings dried at Sips and Stokes. P.S. They didn't know that I was videoing them! Lol!
Update #1 -AF . Well af showed up last friday. After being gone for nearly 2 months she decided to show up. I guess I have to be positive and be glad that at least she did show up on her own. I'm just hoping that those pesky cysts are gone now
Update #2 -TTC DH and I decided that we are not going to start trying to have a baby again this month. We decided to put it off for another month and start trying again in February. We are waiting mainly because we still need a break. You don't have much of a break during the holidays because of visiting with family and having to go here and there and everywhere. So we decided we needed a longer break. Can't believe I'm actually saying that, but I really need it.
Update #3 -WEIGHT I have been on my diet for 6 weeks today and had my 6 week weigh in this afternoon. I have lost 17.2 LBS total now!!!!!!! WOW....I'm so proud of myself. I'm almost half way to my goal. Only 20 more to go. Lol.
Well a year ago today (Jan 5, 2010) we lost our sweet baby. I went in at 6:00 am to the surgical center and was put to sleep for my d&c. I don't want to go back into details or get myself upset again by re-living that day so I am just going to link you to the blog I wrote about it and the days that followed. D&C DAY and DAYS LATER. Those next few days had me questioning God. Not only about what had happened, but even about who he is. How he could let that happen. I know it's wrong to question God in any way, but in times like those i think God forgives us for not trusting in him. He understands that we are at our lowest and we have to learn that the only way up is to have faith. The sad thing is that even today I wish I knew the answer to at least ONE of the questions that I begged God to tell me. "WHY?" That's all I wanted and STILL want to know today. I can only hope that one day God will show me why he let such a thing happen to us. Why he made us go through all that pain? Why he tested our faith so much? Why would he take away the thing that meant the most to us? And why infertility and miscarriage is now a part of our lives? Ok, so there is a lot of "Why" questions that I would love to know. I have a feeling that 20 years from now I will still be asking these same questions, but in the end I have learned that it all boils down to FAITH. Faith in God and his plans for us.
I know i haven't been blogging much and what little I have been blogging has been about past events and emotions and I'm sorry I've been a "Debbie Downer" here lately. It's been a hard past few weeks and even though it has been a whole year ago that all this has happened, it still feels like it happened yesterday. I'm ready to get back to the TTC journey but unfortunately it looks like Mid February is when we will start trying again. That kind of makes me sad but maybe the wait will pay off. I don't have much to blog about and that's why I haven't been blogging a lot. I promise I will try and do better though. LOL.
My name is Karenda and my husband is Dustin. We have been married since June 2007. We have two fur-babies, Ali and Lexi. They are both miniature dachshunds and are extremely spoiled. This blog shares our story about how we are suffering with infertility and are trusting in God throughout this journey to starting a family.
LOVE IT!!! I have been wanting one of these for a long time!!!!
