More gratitude…

First of all, big thanks go out to Leanna for sending me Marine Corp approved ear plugs. They are orange and teal and the instructions say the orange part should be hidden inside the ear. So far, I have resisted the urge to purchase ridiculously cute PJ’s to match the teal but I make no promises as to how long my will power will hold out. Anyway, they work like a charm! Chris had to wake me up this morning because I couldn’t hear my alarm clock. That’s impressive. Thanks much, Leanna!!!

Secondly, thanks to Mom and Jim for commenting on Chris’ catch. He was starting to feel his man card was taking a major hit by playing second fiddle to my rock star ovaries. Poor guy.

Alright, so last night the conversation at our house was largely focused on one thing and one thing only. Here are a few examples of how things went down:

While eating dinner…

Chris: These tacos are awesome, babe.
Me: Thanks! You know what is more awesome than these tacos?
Chris: Do tell.
Me: Having 10 antral follicles
Chris: Right on.
Us: (high five)

While watching House…

Chris: Three pins in her head!
Me: And she lived! You know what’s cooler that that?
Chris: I can guess.
Me: 10 antral follicles
Chris: Tru dat
Us: (high five)

You get the point. Needless to say, we are so grateful for this answered prayer. Whether we are successful with IVF 2.5 or not, I know the Lord is in charge and there’s a bigger, better plan that will be far more awesome than 10 antral follicles.

“Pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18

  3. Well I am rather uncomfortable as your father commenting on your attemps to get pregnant, but here goes.

    Robin you know your mother and I are praying for this to succeed. I sent emails to our friends and family about this and we will call on our church family when we can speak to them in person.

    We are praying in faith that God is going to make mom and I grandparents again. I can hardly wait.

    I love you dearly and I know you and Chris are anxiously awaiting the outcome.
