well, i am just going to get into it. our 3rd attempt at conceiving a baby has failed. we have tried IUI 3 times and have not yet been successful. while it can be discouraging and frustrating, we do trust that God has a plan for us and apparently a baby hasn't fit into those plans quite yet. i do believe that we will have children one day.
we are going to meet with our fertility doctor sometime in august to discuss what is next for us. we have looked into IVF and adoption costs and it is quite scary. to think that the cost of either of these two options could prevent us from becoming parents is scary. we want children more than anything. we will have to wait and see what the doctor has to say and in the meantime, start saving for the future. we are still hopeful that we will conceive naturally. i do think if we didn't have the faith in God that we do, we would be depressed and much more frustrated with this whole thing. having faith is very important and we know God has the perfect plan for us.
in the meantime, i have applied for several teaching jobs but have yet to hear from any district about an interview. i am really hoping that i will hear something soon. new jobs are getting posted every day, so i am looking daily.
we are going to D.C. soon and look forward to this vacation and time away on our own. it has been awhile since we have gone on a vacation. we are very excited to see our nation's capital. kevin has been to D.C. several times with his students, but i have never been there. i think it will be a great experience.
enjoy this beautiful day and God bless!
