So I needed to get a physical with my family doctor so I scheduled it. I always dread them because I usually leave with having to change a million things and do better, loose weight, take pills, up my dosage on my medication. So Tuesday I went to get my blood taken did the whole starving (fasting). Then Friday went in. I was totally nervous because if you don't know most of my appointments don't end so positive.
Got in the office and filled out my paper work. Then got called back. Had my temperature checked and weight. I was down 13.5 lbs which was good but I had gained 12 lbs during my last round of shots so I was really just down 1.5 lbs but hey I took it. Then I sat in the office looking at magazines while the medical assistant asked me a million questions then Dr. Cohen came in and he is so nice( and not bad to look at lol) He went over the reason why I was there and then went over all my blood work. He said that my liver numbers were great, sugar was right where it suppose to be, my thyroid was perfect. Let me stop there and explain something. I have been on thyroid medication for almost 4 years thinking I NEEDED it and it was helping me because I had Dr. Mezor years ago telling me that I needed it and he just thought this was what I needed. Come to find out I didn't . I have not been taking my thyroid for over a month so it was out of my system and my numbers were at a 5.1 and suppose to be between 3.0-7.0... so there I am not on it any longer. My cholesterol was fine .06 higher than it was suppose to be so I need to work on that with diet and exercise. My good cholesterol was too low so I will be taking a fist oil that should help that. My iron was low as well it was a 9.1 and needs to be between a 11.1-14.5 so I was prescribed an iron pill to help and will check that in 4 weeks. That was pretty much it and he said over all I am healthy just need to exercise and eat better. And I totally agreed. So all and all I had a FANTASTIC visit. The rest of my appointment went great. I would highly recommend Dr. Cohen and the doctors at High Point Family Practice. Just wonderful people and always willing to go beyond the call of duty.
So now that my physical is over Neal and I will start our steps to IVF... Very excited and will blog more when I know more!
Happy Harvest!!

Things that make you go hmmm....
So as I sit here at night watching my dvr shows I think about things in the past few months that have made me go hmmmm...
1) Lets start out with the fact that I personally have had to go to the dentist over 9 different times for different reasons. Reasons for which were out of my hands and or control. I have always had a fear of the dentist and I now know that God has such a great sense of humor cause now I am going every week it seems like. But after my next two appointments I will have perfect ...well close to perfect teeth.
2) How some people take for granted the small things in life. Things like water, air, clothes, shoes, food. In reality those are not small but to others they are HUGE. There are so many people here in America and around the world that those small things would make a difference. So the next time you complain about not having the name brand of clothing that you want, or the store didn't have the certain type of ice cream remember: There is someone out there right now that only wishes they were in your shoes.
3) How some friendships come and go. I have had many people in my life that I have thought they were my "friends" but in reality I was just someone that was of a conviance for them. Where they could call me if they wanted to vent , barrow money, need a reference, want to chat about their "flavor of the month". However when it came down to it those people where NEVER there for me. I was just a mat that they could use. Well I have pretty much erased those people out of my life for which I am very happy. I have the most gorgeous friends , sweet, kinds, generous, caring God sent friends. For that I am thankful for!
4) My husband... I sometimes realize that I take him for granted and sometimes I go hmmm as to how lucky I am to have such a fantastic man. Now I know that some of you that are ready are like what... really lol well NO ONE is perfect. Only man that was perfect was and is Jesus. Neal lets me be me... if I wanna do something he never tells me I cant. He never says anything about my shopping habits lol. He usually supports me if I wanna try a new hobby. I can honestly say that over the past 2 years I have learn more about him then I did the prior 8 years. And thank God for that.
One of the last things that make me go hmmm is
5) children... I love children. I love their laughter, the way they smile and laugh at the most simple things. The other day Neal and I got the twins for the evening and we picked them up and it was like they won a million bucks. Neal and I have never given them a million bucks but what we have given them is unconditional love. When we get any of our nieces and nephews its like all we need to do is love them and that makes their world a better place. Children may say and do some of the most odd things. However children are truly a gift from God. Even though they are not perfect they still make you go hmmm...
I just wanted to blog about some things that make you go hmmm... i don't want this just to be only about our steps to our sweet baby but a blog about us and about whats going on in life and stuff in general...
peace and love

Just wanting to blog...
Ever feel in the mood where you just wanna write? And blog? Well I feel like today is the day. I know many of you that have followed our blog have been wanting an update. The truth is there is not much that has changed since my last blog. We are patiently waiting for December to get here to start the IVF process.
http://www.premierfertility.com/infertility_treatments/ivf.aspx
That is my doctors website and will explain the steps that we will be going through during this process. We start all this in the beginning of December and hopefully will get to do that actual procedure end of January beginning of February.
I am excited, nervous and ready all at the same time. Neal well he doesn't say much. I am not sure if its because he doesn't know what to say or just that he is waiting . He does have more patience than I do hence he married me lol.
Lately I have been praying a ton. Not that I didn't before cause we all know I did. But God and I have had lots of intimate one on ones lately. I find myself talking to him at the oddest times or maybe not so odd times but times that I should have been before. He is such a kind God. I never have felt so close to him. At times when I get down about things such as wanting a baby I just tell God and ask him to help me understand. Understand the selfishness of some people. The way that some can just have kids and not think twice about them shove them off onto other people and do their "own" thing. Understand why some women or people can be so selfish and ungrateful for what they have been blessed with and don't think of others that in ways would trade anything to be in their shoes. God helps me understand that For such a time as this that I am his daughter and that he is my provider and that He has HUGE plans for Neal and I.
I am still learning and in the end of all of this I will know just the reason why its taken the steps its taken to get there where we are. I ask God for direction with Neal and I. At times its hard I am not that great of a communicator and get frustrated both Neal and I do. Working together, living together helping with the business, me working, house, bills it can be a bit much at time and Neal and I get snappy but we both have to remember that those are worldly things that Gods much BIGGER than all of that stuff. Even when we disagree(which is often right babe?) we realize at the end of the day we have each other. A marriage that has been through some struggles BUT we have each other. A marriage built on Gods solid foundation. I am proud to be his wife and I thank God daily for our marriage and know that there will be great that comes out of us.
I always tell our family and friends that question things about how our life is I say " Why do you question us or the plans that God has for us? I don't question the road God has paved for us neither should you" I don't question I just wonder "Whats in store" I pray that often .
Well that's pretty much our update for now. I will continue to update everyone when I know more information!
Love & Peace
