You lovely ladies have both been on my heart, I just wanted to check in on you both and see how your doing? Also let you know you have not been forgotten.......love and hugs!

Af is due this weekend. I haven't been holding it together lately, just in tears a lot. Normally I'd hold off until my period came or not cry at all (in recent yrs anyway). [cry] I suspect my period will make it worse (well I suspect PMS is making it worse atm too), but hopefully after this weekend my head will be on my shoulders again.

[heartbeat] u-thanks for asking about us.

Hugs Rachel!

Hugs, thoughts, and prayers to both of you.

I pray for you two so often-- Rachel, Trip. :hugs: Rachel- I sure am praying for you today~

[praying] Prayers and thoughts from here too ~ think of you both all the time. [heart]

And, Jayne, what a thoughtful dear you are! [heart]

I have sure been thinking of you girls too... my first disappointment this week as AF arrived and I was hoping for a BFP instead... helps me to understand in some tiny little way. And I've been praying and thinking of both of you specifically... [praying]

Funny how God brings you guys to our minds at the same time. I also have been thinking of you both alot lately. praying for you both.

Wow, I feel so loved! :grin:
We're still going... not sure that it'll ever happen for us, but we still keep pushing on. We're both trying to relax & de-stress more and just work on our relationship. It's been a good couple of months for that!

We got started on the homestudy process for domestic adoption back in July, and we're coming to the finish line. For that part. We've got our home visit next Monday (Sept. 19th) so the practitioner we're seeing can verify that our house is safe. lol We even had to go get fingerprinted!

After the homestudy, we get to talk with the adoption agency and we'll have to start making our profile. (Lookee! This is us! :-)) So that's what's happening with us.

I'm still working thru how I feel about my sister's pregnancy, but I'm trying to keep a positive/chin up kinda attitude and enjoy hearing about it as much as I can. She's back in Australia now :sad: and I miss her big time. It's also been tough dealing with my mother's reaction to this - she's devastated for me, but I don't want to hear about it anymore. We're making the best decisions for us as a couple that may not be what she'd choose, but it'll have to be ok with her 'cause we're not gonna change what we decide just to please her. There. I said it. lol

So that's about it! AF is due in about 10 days, so I'm sure I'll be moving into the PMS zone very soon.

Love you guys!

Thanks for checking in with us both of you :) I admire you both, my sister is on a similar journey right now and so when I pray for her I always think of you both too!

That's the same with me jayne, my sister is now seeing a fertility specialist and getting tested to maybe find an answer and I think of tripper and rachel a lot in my prayers as I pray for my sister, its hard seeing the ups and downs she goes through, knowing this is the month because of all the new symptoms only to cry when af shows, it hurts and I pray for you ladies that God will answer your prayers

And tripper that's awesome on the adoption can't wait to see pics of your new LO in the next yr or two :) (have no clue how long it takes to adopt lol)

Wow Trip, I am so excited for you about adoption. I have always wanted to adopt. although right now I don't think thats going to happen, but I wonder if maybe one day it will. I'm excited to follow your journey into adoption.

Well I def hit the PMS wall today... :(
I can tell because my biggest thought tonight was "I just. want. a baby. Is that too much to ask?" Sigh...
It'll happen. I just don't know when and the waiting's KILLlING me... Good thing you guys are praying for me. I'm finding it hard to right now.

Guess I should start my own thread for this! Lol
