crazy is good sometimes

Emotional roller coaster is the best way to describe how I have been feeling lately. At the beginning of our surrogacy process I thought to myself all I have to do is check off all these steps to get ourselves a baby. I never thought about if something went wrong. We all have lives and we all know that our lives, sometimes take us in a direction that we don't really agree with. Our surrogate had an incident and the doctors say the she had a seizure. She got a second option and that doctor told her that she was in a gray area, so he is treating it like a seizure. Her cousin has had the similar incidents and it got worse when her cousin had children. Our surrogate and I have had some good heart to heart conversations. In the end, I told her that her health is the most important to be able to continue to be a mother to her two beautiful kids and her husband. She is devastated about the news, but we all continue to have happy spirits about her being able to give the gift of motherhood to me. With that said, Steve and I have three embryos that have made it to the end. Only one of them are normal, the other two came back abnormal.

My emotions have been going up and down non stop. I know that God is watching over each in every one of us in our worries, struggles and even our joyous moments. Even though I really want a kiddo right this moment. Is it really the best time for us? With my crazy emotions and thoughts running in my head, my patience has been tested. I know that it will all fall into place in God's own timing. That sentence was extremely hard for me to swallow before my journey in receiving my gifts of life. My faith is growing constantly.

Today at church we sang God Loved Us, So He Sent His Son. In the first verse of this hymn it says, "God loved us, so he sent his son, Jesus Christ the atoning One, To show us by the path he trod. The one and only way to God." What an incredible reminder, this was to me, especially the last sentence.

"Love" is really spelled T-I-M-E -Dieter F. Uchtdorf

quarantine = self reflection

I was talking with my lovely mother on Facetime this morning and she suggested to post on my blog. I look at my blog and noticed I haven't posted since November! So here you go, during this crazy time I am no longer working and my day to day tasks have shifted drastically. I am sure all of you know what is going on all over the world. I hope all of you are staying safe and healthy. I have been in this situation before. I was taken out of the game due to my heart, my life was soccer. Now my life was going to work and heading off to soccer practice, but COVID-19 has taken that away. I am reflecting on my response when my heart wasn't doing that well. At first I was frustrated and asking why? Now I am doing the same thing. WHY? Because I am HUMAN I know!!! This time I caught myself and decided to choose another route.  My alternate route has been getting outside every darn day, no matter the weather and enjoying the beauties of this earth, sun, clouds, rain, breeze, nature, the ...

boise

This past week was a wake up for our Wrigley. We had a dog trainer come over to our house and teach us how to break his habits of aggression towards other dogs and people. We learned how Wrigley communicates and when to give affections and praise and when not to. Now that we have the proper tools rather than the wrong ones. We are excited to help train Wrigley's behaviors into more friendly ones. This process is going to be long, but just like our surrogate process we are going to dive in and handle whatever is to come. With the surrogacy I have spoken to my parent's neighbor about being our attorney and she agreed to represent us.  This weekend we headed up to Boise. Steve and I have always liked the idea of Boise, so we went to go and checked out some places. We got these bikes at the hotel we were staying at for FREE and rode around downtown Boise. We had a blast riding around to all the places. On the way home, we stopped to see Idaho State women's soccer play. They be...

New Day, New Chapter, New....????

After the other days SHOCKing experience, I had to go into the clinic today to have my device interrogated.   Basically find out why I got shocked…. Was it warranted?? My device is set to SHOCK me if my heart gets beating too fast, like 180bpm or higher. Which I guess I excreted myself too much yesterday. This is a little bit upsetting, I was hardly up the trail and I got shocked. How am I supposed to do anything physical and not get shocked? Think about trying to exercise but also having to worry about a horse kicking you in the chest at any time.   Leaving the clinic I was pretty bummed… Is my heart just getting worse? Anyway, I went to work at straws and about an hour into work the clinic was calling me. I didn’t want to answer because I had a feeling my INR would be too low again and I would have to be admitted to the hospital. Anyway, I answered and Dr. Kia was on the line. He said “I heard you left upset from the clinic today?” I figured he was about to give me a pe...
