I am so busy! I had been planning at least a few blog posts over this past week while I was on Easter break, but now I'm on my last day of break, and obviously there were no posts over the past week. Even when I'm on vacation I'm busy every moment! So, since it's been over a month since I last updated you all, here is a very general, hopefully quick update of what has been going on:
My surgery was the 19th, and it went very well. Recovery was another story altogether, though. I ended up back in the hospital on the 21st, and back at my doctor's office on the 23rd, then finally started to feel better a few days after that. Surgery results are a little mixed. My tubes are open (praise God!), but my Doc found endometriosis. However, he doesn't think that it is causing our fertility problems. It's very mild, and I have very, very, very minimal scarring, so for now he doesn't want to treat the endo. He said the treatment we could do is a 6 month process, so I'm in agreement with the whole not treating thing. My doc is just thinking that perhaps we didn't get lucky during our 6 rounds of Clomid (only 4 could have resulted in pregnancy, because 2 times the meds didn't work), so we're going to try up to three more rounds before looking into anything else. Please pray with us that one of these rounds will work. I'm handling everything so well now, and have really come to the point that I want Christ more than I want a baby, and if we are not supposed to be parents I know that our lives will not be wasted. Despite this place of peace and comfort I am in, it's still a really annoying, stressful process, and I'm so far past ready for this to all be over.
I can't even really remember what else has happened over the last month, so I'll just focus on the last week: I've been off of work for a week, and it has not been long enough. I have to go back tomorrow, and I'm not too thrilled. I love my students, and I love teaching... but I also like sleeping in and doing fun things like Magic Mountain and Disneyland. Magic Mountain was last Monday with one of my coworkers, and then Friday and Saturday Kyle and I took his whole family down to Disneyland to celebrate his 25th birthday. We went with his parents, his brother and sister-in-law, and our two nieces. Taylor is almost 3, so it was also in celebration of her birthday. She LOVED Disneyland, expecially the Tea Cups, and we all had a great time. Whenever I find my cord to my camera I'll upload the pictures and get some on here. It really was an awesome weekened with the family, but also exhausting, and I'm still sore and tired.
I've missed you all, and hope everything is going well for you!
