Hey Ladies!!

So here I am bitching about the site being boring and some very special people went ahead and indulged me. :)

I have been swamped at work, for those of you in the US government or support them, you are very aware of the FY end. I have two weeks to get as much in as I can. I love my job, but being an accountant at the end of the year can be stressful. And on top of that my Aunt from Michigan is visiting next weekend, which I am super excited about.

I tested this morning just to see, I am expecting AF either tomorrow or this weekend, super BFN. Which is fine, long gone are the days of staring at those tests and hoping that if I hit the light just right there would be something. :) We are still NTNP, we had planned on moving forward with IVF or IUI and will probably wait until January if we do. Mark is all about it one moment, but I think his anxiety clicks in and suddenly he backs away. Which I understand and respect. But I know that I need to just give him that extra little push and get him there. I think it is different for men then women going into these things. Maybe because I already have and went in to get everything checked. I think the hardest thing for him is knowing that it could possibly be a sperm issue, which to be honest wouldn't bother me. I just want an answer. As many of you know TTC and not knowing for this long is really difficult.

But anyways, things are good with us. Just prepping for winter. Got to get the firewood all ready for the year, get our hay storage up before they jack up the prices and make sure there aren't any repairs on houses for everyone outside. I love having the farm animals but let me tell you it is a lot of work.

Oh so we found out our pigs are crazy about acorns, and we have tons of oaks on the property. Next weekend when my Aunt visits my sister is coming with all of her kids. I am planning on handing them all buckets and make a contest to see who can pick up the most. LOL!! That will keep them busy. :)

Love the updates girls, keep them coming and as always I have each of you in my thoughts.

My accountant got back to me yesterday apologizing for being so busy, and my mom works in the tax department for the county, so I can understand a little how you must feel. Good luck with your cycle and I hope your fellow comes around concerning the IUI/IVF!

It is so uplifting to hear from you all. I feel like I've missed so much. I'm glad things are going well. Hugs

I know the whole male factor infertility is a tough pill to swallow. I never even considered that until we got that diagnosis. At first Chad was absolutely devestated. I was really worried that he'd never be able to get over it. You know that whole area is such an integral part of what makes them feel like a man, but after a couple weeks he started to pull out of it, and within a couple months, he was very accepting of it and realized that there was nothing that he had done to contribute to it, and there's nothing he can do to make it better. He's not a smoker, he's never done drugs, and only drinks on rare occasions. It still sucks, but he's (we've) moved past it, and now we would do anything we needed to to have our baby. It truely makes it easier knowing why we couldn't get pregnant on our own.

I know you and Mark are strong and you'll continue doing what you need to when it's right for you. So glad you updated, and hopefully it won't be this long again between updates! ;)
