Last we spoke I mentioned that we would be trying again in July. We unfortunately had to put IVF to the side as I have been dealing with some medical issues the past couple of months. Nothing too serious, at least I hope not, but no answers as of yet.
My goal is to hurry up and feel better so we can sneak a round in come September. It seems like a long shot at this point, but I am doing everything I can to get to where I need to be. I can't risk losing anymore embryos if my body isn't 100%.
Though I have been beyond frustrated with the constant bumps in the road, I am coming out of this with a genuine appreciation for life and good health. Not that I didn't appreciate life before my feeling ill, but I definitely took for granted the fact that every single healthy day is truly a gift.
Aside from not feeling so hot, we were able to celebrate some awesome family moments this summer which has been a great distraction.
These two made their engagement official and we are looking forward to their big day next month!
*my cousin Tyler & his fiance, Stephanie
We officially have a little Ballerina in our house! My Olivia started dance class. I danced my whole life so this was a BIG mama moment. She loved it!
My little love turned 3! What?????? Say it isn't so, this kid is growing up...WAY. TOO. FAST.
Welcome to the world Miss Lilly!!! Our cousin Chris and his wife Shelby welcomed a healthy beautiful little girl into our family.
Cousin reunion!! Our niece, Quinn came to Chicago for a visit! We hadn't seen this little munchkin for quite some time. Her and Olivia were attached at the hip and had the greatest time together. Can't wait to see her again soon!
That's it in a nutshell...so far! We have lots more exciting things going on in the coming months. And, hopefully I'll have some good news to report once I get cleared for another round of IVF. Until then...thank you for all of the support and thank you for following my story!
Talk soon...
