We are back from the most wonderful vacation!! We had an amazing time! The first few days were spent catching up on sleep (on the second day I took a 5 hour nap, ate dinner, then slept another 12 hours!!) And the rest of the trip we explored islands, went to Broadway shows, ate a TON of food, relaxed at the beach and pools, played a lot of trivia and other fun games, ate more food…etc… I am SO THANKFUL that my friend invited us on this trip and so thankful that we were able to go! It was great!
So we are home and back into regular life again – and we have decided that our next cycle is going to be our F.E.T cycle. I am a mix of emotions about the whole thing…scared, hopeful, nervous, excited, petrified… Part of me wants to find reasons to postpone it longer, but I’ve come to the conclusion that no matter when we go back to the clinic, I will be feeling all of these emotions. So why wait longer?
I am expecting my period any day now…so the transfer will happen in about 2ish weeks.
In other news my husband and I have been seriously talking and praying about becoming Foster Parents. We’ve started the application process (phone interview and paper work) and soon we will have the first home visit.
The next 9 week training session is in September and there will be 5 home visits during and after that time period. At any point in the application process if we decide that it is not right for us, we can ‘back out” with no penalty. So we decided to just go forward with it. I am going to read some books and do a little more research to make sure that we are fully prepared for this step. I am excited about it, and it is fun and a little refreshing to have something other than fertility stuff to focus on!
ALSO…this is big news too…we bought a house!!!!!
Right now we live in the city – and we love our home but for the past 2 or so years we’ve been looking around for a nice country property. Something with lots of trees and land – but not too far from the city (since my husband works here)
Most of the time if we find a house we like, it is either out of our price range, or sold.
To make a super long story short, we found the perfect house, on a great property, 20 mins away from the city and bought it all in one week-end! We are super excited! We will move in August, and we will use the house we are living in as an income property (we have an apartment in our basement, so we will rent out both units)
YAY!
Well for now we wait for cycle day one. Let the journey continue…

Sounds like a great vacation! I am glad so many positive things are going on for you. I hope your upcoming FET is not too emotional for you. I know that will be hard, but hopefully exciting too! I'll be thinking of you.
Glad you had a great vacation! It is wonderful to get away, isn't it? I was hoping you'd have a fantastic time!
Congrats on your house as well. How exciting that you found just the right thing at the right time. I'm impressed with how quickly everything fell into place :)
I will be thinking about you and praying for you as you plan your FET. Hang in there :)
Vacation = amazing! How great that you could do this! Praying fervently for your FET and I'm thrilled about your new house! I think anyone who becomes a foster parent is an instant hero. I cannot wait to follow along on that journey!!
