A New Year, But Still No Baby |

We made it through the holidays, and we survived unscathed for the most part. There were a few times that I about lost it, but I was able to pull it together. Christmas Eve service was tough. We haven’t been to church in awhile, and it was good to see everyone. It was hard to see all the kids though, and there are a lot of songs about birth and babies. So the tears almost overflowed, but I don’t think anyone noticed. Other than that it was uneventful. So now we are into the new year. It’s 2010, and I still can’t believe that time is flying by. Well, flying at times but dragging at others. The roller coaster continues. It seems like everything revolves around TTC. Counting days, eating certain things, not eating other things, waiting and watching for signs – my day is consumed by the baby we don’t have. I’m hoping and praying we won’t have to go through an entire year with no baby. I keep telling myself that, and maybe if I believe it to be true it will become true. We have 12 months to make it happen, which means 12 opportunities. I’m hoping that at least one of those will take. If not, the Hubs and I started our budget this week. We have a goal, and we are on our way. The goal is to be able to completely pay for treatment without going into debt by putting it on a credit card. We’re taking our lunch to work, cutting out some things that we don’t need, and being just plain frugal. I’m also gearing up to plan for our yard sale in a couple months. I’d like to have one now, but it’s just too darn cold outside. So I’ll wait until the weather is a bit more hospitable. You know what would be the best though? We get pregnant naturally. Then our budgeting and yard sale take could go to buying stuff for a baby. So here’s to a new year! It’s got to be this year. Comments (1)

... I'm new to this, we've been trying for almost 2 years. All the holidays are hard but Christmas just put a knife through my heart. Thinking positive is not easy but that's the plan for this year. It's unbelieveable to know the things you're willing to give up to expand your family, never thought I can be frugal! Good luck to us both and hopefully it's going to be our year. |
