I'm awful at keeping up with how things are going more frequently. My thoughts haven't been super positive lately, so it's a good thing that I'm slacking. ;-)
So, our IUI was a failure. The first blood test, my HCG levels were high, signalling that the IUI had taken. I went back 2 Days later and my numbers hadn't doubled, which means that my body actually didn't take the IUI and it did not result in a pregnancy.
I couldn't help myself reaching that highest of highs when I found out that I was "pregnant", only to reach the lowst of lows when I found out 2 days later that it wasn't true. Whether my body ended the pregnancy, or whether it never really happened doesn't matter. Neither thought helped me or R to move past this tragis loss.
We have rested in the peace and love give only by our Saviour. That's it. Nothing else helped us remain as peaceful and strong as we have.

New RE / 1st IUI
We finally made a decision, after several months, to establish ourselves with a new RE who also practices north of our area.
I feel much more comfortable with Dr. J, and am thankful that I have options.
I started injections a few weeks ago in preparation for our 1st IUI. Today, I go back to see how many eggs I'm producing. I'm hopeful, but also being very realistic.

6 Months w/ Munchkin
Today marks 6 months that we've been caring for our precious foster baby. We affectionately call him Munchkin...and that's what I'll call him from now on. :)
He is growing so much. He's nearly 8 months old. He sits up well, eats anything and everything we offer him (almost ready for table food), and loves books. Although he has skipped the rolling over stage and may bypass the crawling stage, he's starting to pull himself up and has been supporting himself standing for several months now. He has strong legs...he'll either be a track star like his Uncle L or a soccer player like R. His teeth will be coming through any day - he chews and bites his toys like a playful puppy. He is such a happy little one. He only cries when something is wrong - diaper change, hungry, tired, hurt. He smiles and laughs the majority of the time. He is very observant. He checks everyone out before he'll smile and play with them. He gives kisses and says "Mama" all the time now. He recognizes R and I, and, of course, we're wrapped around his tiny finger. He's a big time snuggler and we LOVE it!
He has brightened what could have been some of our darkest days. We are still incredibly thankful that Munchkin was brought into our lives.
