Thank you for all your kind comments. You support means the world to me.
I talked again to J that night and he agreed to maybe consider it. He just needed to think a bit more about it. Then the next day we were at the grocery store and ran into a co-worker. We got onto the kid question and she said her and her husband were trying to adopt. So we asked a few questions. And found out that they've been waiting for 5 years. 5 years!!! And these are people that I would consider successful and having everything that a birth mother would want - a loving relationship, good jobs, a big house and a cottage. And they're just an all around amazing couple. I don't know her that well, but have heard nothing but good about her and her husband. At any rate, J hearing the time they've waited turned him off adoption again. Sigh....
So...I might go back to charting my cycles and all that jazz. I've done it for so long that I'm not sure that I'm ready to start it up again. But I am going to try changing my diet and see how that works. I haven't heard anything from the Fertility clinic yet so we'll see how that goes too. I bought the "Mak.ing Bab.ies" book so once that arrives I'm going to try out the suggestions from it. Has anyone else tried this book?
Michell from Tales of A Batty Nurse has been selling her home made baby blankets on Etsy to help pay for her upcoming FET. I bought one and was very excited to open my mail on Monday and see the package in there! She does beautiful work and will even do custom orders so please, please head over to her blog and check it out. It's worth a look! I just realized that I don't have the picture here with me, so will post it later on!
I went shopping last night and bought my socks for my secret recipient in the Sock It To Me exchange. I actually bought 2 pairs because I just couldn't decide! I'm excited about this exchange!
I'm sure there was some other things that I was supposed to blog about but I cant' for the life of me remember what it was right now so I'll just have to save it for another day.

What timing?! Crazy that you run into that couple so shortly after the first conversation. Damn!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to have no direction, I'm there too.
I sent my socks out today, my first time I'm so excited!
I'm sorry...
ReplyDeleteWill it help if I say that DH said no, then yes, then no, then maybe, then no before finally agreeing to look deeper into adoption. And you know that we are starting down that road now.
Sending you lots of hugs and wishes for good things!
The thing about any adoption where the birthmother chooses you rather than you being on some sort of waiting list is that there's no way to predict how long it will take. For instance, we brought our baby boy home 3 months after we went live with our agency. Maybe that will turn your husband back on to adoption?!
ReplyDeleteUgg on the adoption thing. Sometimes it feels like everything is working against you. I hope things start moving the other way soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the mention. I'm glad you got the blanket and liked it.
Hopefully, J will come around to the adoption perspective. Charting just seem to become a part of our lives doesn't it? I'm also trying to modify my diet (again) to aid in losing weight and hopefully making a more fertile environment in my body. Off now to have a look at Michell's shop!
ReplyDeleteWe haven't gotten to the adoption discussion yet, but I know it's something that will ghost around us until we run out of insurance to cover my treatments. Spend the money on more treatments or spend it on adoption? Wait for the treatments or work or wait for the papers to go through? Oy. And getting your mind wrapped around it all... so hard. Thinking of you.
