Spring in my Step

Well, thank goodness spring, or break up, has begun. We're muddy and wet, but we could use more moisture. That being said, the weather has been lovely, and I'm feeling pretty good.

My iron levels are up, though I have yet to have them retested. I know, tsk tsk, but I'm holding out. On purpose. I'm not quite sure if I want to go back to the same doctor, or try out someone new. We'll see. I'm pondering. And since we're not rushing into TTC, that's my prerogative. That being said, there are some things that I really like about my doctor. So, it's hard. Finding a good doc, with PCOS knowledge, in rural Alaska. Well friends, that's a challenge.

So, for now, I'm trying to eat well. Drink TONS of water. And keep myself healthy. Right after the whole Easter debacle I was stricken with a cold. Not bad considering it was my first of the season, and it's passed quite quickly really.

I'm still having issues with the bcp's. And I do have an appointment scheduled with my doc in early May. Before we leave for Portland. So, let's hope that things just keep plugging along in the right direction.

Cheerio!

Baby, Baby, Baby

Spring is a natural time for babies. Animals, birds, humans. What a lovely time of the year. I don't know what it is about spring that makes it seem like anything is possible. Anything. We are still chugging along on the adoption track. Sparky's co-workers wife (which I may have mentioned in a previous post) works with adoptions in Alaska. What a wonderful resource at our finger tips. The problem? I have yet to meet her! J is out of work on military duty for the next couple weeks, so for now we're just hanging out, waiting for things to shuffle into place.

I watched the most beautiful Adoption Story on the Discovery Channel today. I sometimes am embarassed that it took me so long to see the writing that was there all along. However, I know that it's all about the right child for us and God's timing. It has very little to do with us. Very. Little. Anyway, this story was about a couple in California that adopted twins from foster care. Ziggy and Nola. OMGoodness. They were the cutest little boogers. And it just made my heart leap. It was beautiful from beginning to end and I sobbed through the whole thing.

So, for now we're enjoying spring, and planning for the future. Sometimes I find it hard not to get ahead of myself. But honestly I cannot help it, I have been researching furniture, car seats, diapers, bottles, etc. Like I said, my mind is off to the races!

Happy Spring!
