Aren't we a cute couple!? We make really cute babies!!The title is a sigh of relief and relaxation. Things are pretty quiet on the TTC front. This month has actually been quite relaxing. I know that I am not pregnant, so there is not all of the stress and worry in the 2 week wait. Kinda freeing! I have my blood work and meet with my OB on Wednesday. I am looking forward to that. I have also been in contact with a Reproductive Endocrinologist. I found out that my insurance will cover all appointments with her at 80%. If we decide to move ahead with the IUI (inter uterine insemination) that will also be covered at 80%. IVF is also covered up to 4 cycles. While we will not do IVF, it is amazing to find out that we have such amazing coverage. I had gotten a print out from out insurance last year, but I must have misread things, because I thought we had a $1000 max for infertility coverage. Come to find out, we have no max at all. So that was definitely good news. My OB does IUIs, so I'm not sure if we will continue treatment with her or change over to the RE. I'll know more after the appt on Wednesday.
Our Pastor's message spoke to me yesterday and got my mind going. He was asking what is it that you need to give up. What is that you love more than God. What is it that you just need to turn over to God. So I have been thinking... Do I hold on too tightly to trying to have a baby month after month? Have I turned it over to God 100%? Do I love the concept of having another baby more than God? Do I put that before God? Do I spend more time in my day thinking of TTC and all that goes along with it than I spend thinking about God and all the good he has done for me? Am I happy with today or am I constantly looking into tomorrow? Do I live in the moment and appreciate it for all that it's worth, or do I dwell on the things I don't have? I know that I have given this battle to God, but how many times have I taken it back? If we do IUI is that trying to override/rush God's timing? Should we just stop all of this? Should we go ahead with the IUI if Rich is out of town during our fertile time?
I know the answers to some of these questions, some I am still thinking about.

WOW...so many questions for you to think about. I'm glad the sermon made you think. Guess now it's time to sit quietly in prayer and listen to God speak. I know how hard the waiting is. And, yes, you do make beautiful babies!!! Love ya, Trish
What an adorable couple the two of you are! Love the picture! Yes, you make beautiful children too. How neat it is to sense some of that peace you have been seeking coming into your heart and life. I don't know how anything is going to turn out, but I know the Lord is going to reveal His glory to you and you will praise Him.
You are a beautiful couple, you are a beautiful person inside and out.
Wow what powerful questions. I might should sit bach and ask those to myself. Glad you are having a peaceful month.
