Howdy Y'all!
We must admit we are crazy parents to-be when the focus of our conversations, plans and life are already on our little man. We even wished for Santa to bring baby gifts this year! On another note....we had a doctors appointment with Dr. Gelety today. Little miss Marta discussed "So You Think You Can Dance" and the best way to bake a turkey before even getting to the reason we were there. We finished our DepotLupron injections and this appointment was for an ultrasound and blood work to decide the next step. We have invested our lives, heart, soul and prayers into our little Ethiopian man, and to be honest have thought little to nothing about conceiving. So they did the US to find out about the size of the cyst found last time and to their surprise they think that we are ovulating. They asked what are plans were, basically hinting at the time could be now, and we needed to act fast. I looked at Ty, and he gave me this glare of "do not dare say we don't really care about getting pregnant, since we already have a little man on the way". We have not shared the info with the doctor's office yet, and temporarily planned not to. Lying on the table I couldn't even put together a sentence and Tyler quickly answered, "We were planning on trying IUIs". Granted we didn't think the "trying" would start for another few months to get back off the injections, but as soon as possible my body kicked back into gear. I guess my internal gears work as quickly as my mind!!! Marta left to tell Dr. G what she found, and 2 minutes later they pop back in with Rx in hand for Clomid. They took my blood again as usual and will call with the results tomorrow. If things seem like they predicted I start Clomid tomorrow and we have an IUI on Tuesday!!! Wow!!! We thought we were going in for a check up....We look forward to what our God has in store!

p.s. We have had a request for info on the Ethiopian well we have committed funds and prayer to. Our sons "family" will benefit from the gift of fresh water and we believe there couldn't be a greater Christmas gift. The following link explains what is being done by our agency and the gift of life being provided in Ethiopia if you are interested.
