The Return
Sunday, January 22, 2017
First off, I just
want to say that I have no idea why in the world I stopped posting my blogs on here.
From the start writing my thoughts, emotions, concerns and fears down for this
blog has been very therapeutic for me. I would like to continue with this “therapy”
and what better time than the start of a new chapter in the TTC novel my
husband and I have been living the last 4 plus years. So, this post will serve
as a catch up on our journey.
The last time we
talked it was March 2015, so we are currently almost two years later and not
much has changed but at the same time a lot has changed. Let me explain. The
thing that hasn’t changed; the hubby and I still have not been blessed with a
child and we took a long hiatus because of many personal issues. However, we
are currently trying but haven’t seen a doctor recently for it yet. My first appointment
is tomorrow and some slightly miraculous things have occurred in the last few
weeks. But before we get there let me catch you up on our lives.
Since my last post,
we have been let go from jobs, then acquired positions at new jobs all while
still living in Texas. We were devastated after the loss of my husband job
after layoffs happened at his company. However, God works in mysterious ways.
This led to my husband’s employment at Lowe’s here in Texas. A small miracle that
would later lead to something fantastic (we will get there shortly). While
dealing with that we were also dealing with my grandfather and his illness and
then passing. To say that this hit me hard would be the biggest understatement
ever. Those who know me personally know that I literally grew up next door to
my grandparents on a long slightly secluded dirt road in my home town in
Florida. I spent my mid to late childhood running barefoot from my house to my grandparents’
house daily seeing my grandfather practically every day. So, the loss of the patriarch
of our large family was devastating and extremely hard for me. This even gave
way to my deep desire to go home. To move back to my hometown in Florida.
Let us re-visit my husband’s job with the Lowes company. When
we visited our hometown for the funeral of my beloved grandfather we discovered
something amazing. They were building a brand-new Lowes store! My brain went
automatically to the chance he could be transferred when the store opened. I
think you can see where this is going! Long story short we now live back home
in St. Augustine, Florida where we are currently researching building a new
home. We both have fantastic jobs and are extremely happy. Except for a health
issue I had during the fall and winter this past year everything is wonderful.
What better time to start trying to conceive again? We now live in a place that
has wonderful, knowledgeable doctors who specialize in PCOS and we are also in
a better place financially. God most definitely works in mysterious ways.
So here we are.
Tomorrow is my first appointment with my new doctor who is a Reproductive
Endocrinologist and their clinic specializes in PCOS and the issues this brings
to fertility. I am hopeful and excited to start this journey with them. My next
post will be about other miracles that have happened in the last few weeks.
Trust me stay tuned it is exciting. At least I think so!
