Please help us raise the remaining balance to begin our home study!

There are a couple options:

My favorite- we are selling t-shirts which support us and adoption organizations at the same time.  This fundraiser ends on Oct 7th, so hurry and get your t-shirt!!  I love my shirt and I’d wear it every day if I could :)

The other- we are accepting donations.  Not something I originally wanted to do because I don’t like just asking for money with nothing in return.  But enough people asked for it that we finally created a site for it.

Please help us bring our baby home!

Hi guys!

I really need some help.  The adoption agency wants us to move forward with the home study.  Yay!  But, unfortunately, that means somehow coming up with $1000 in a very short amount of time.  To help raise money, we are selling t-shirts that support our adoption process and helps some adoption charities at the same time.  If you are willing to give us a little help, please check out our fundraiser site:  www.adoptionbug.com/ldcleveland

Here’s a couple examples of the shirts:

Spotting started.

This month is pretty much over.

I never think that I can feel any worse at the end of each cycle.  And then I’m always surprised that I really can feel worse each time.

No spotting yet.  And no major temp drop.

Boobs hurt really bad.  Worse than ever before.

Going to POAS tomorrow.

Got a positive OPK yesterday and then an even darker one this morning.  I am scheduled to start the IUI process at 2:00pm today.  About 2 hours.  Pretty nervous.  But very excited!

We’re doing an IUI this cycle.  Its been decided.  And progesterone injections.  So not looking forward to that part!

Well, I made it through Mothers Day without crying.  AND I did NOT take a test this morning.  I’m a little anxious about it, but I think I’ll survive lol.

Now I’m making cinnamon rolls.  Baking always makes me feel better :)

Woke up from a dream that I went to POAS and AF had arrived.  It was pretty horrible.

My temp took a .4 deg dip today.  Implantation?  It was pretty cold this morning, too…

And I did actually test again today, like I planned.  BFN.  But I could have sworn that I saw the faintest, lightest line.  I know… my hopeful eyes were probably playing tricks on me.  I didn’t even take a picture of it… that’s how sure I am that I was imagining it. But still….

My face is breaking out really bad.  And I’ve felt sick every time my stomach starts to get empty.  And the muscles in my back are killing me (probably because of lifting stuff that’s too heavy).  And one other TMI symptom that I won’t post lol.  Plus, my temp took a pretty decent jump today.

I hope these are good signs.

Also, I had a conversation with someone yesterday at my Bible Study group.  She is about 20 years older than me and her father has recently been battling Alzheimer’s.  She has been doing a lot of reading on it and she gave me some advise based on the info she’s learned.

Since my best friend had her baby 9 days ago, I haven’t been able to talk to her.  I can’t look at pictures, I can’t talk about it, and I can barely think about it without crying.  At Bible Study yesterday I was told that its okay to take time away.  Time to myself.  Time without thinking about it.

I did that today.  And I feel a lot better just taking today not to think about it.

I POAS this morning.

Don’t judge me :P

I just looked at it (a couple hours later) and there is definitely an evap line… I know, its not a BFP, but its the first time I’ve ever seen an evap line.  So that’s something.
