We Bought a House!

Sorry we haven't written on here in awhile. Life has been extremely crazy. We bought a house!! We've been constantly on the prowl for a house and we fell in love with one on Saturday and put a bid on it Sunday after seeing it again. After many counter offers, stress, little sleep, constant number crunching, praying, and feeling like vomiting a dozen times, we reached a decision. We really feel like this is the house for us. We got it at a good price that won't stretch our budget too much. The only thing that caused hesitation for us was wondering what role infertility will continue to play in our lives. What if we have to keep spending our money on this and what if we have to do IVF or adoption?? I'm always telling my mom to stop the 'what ifs' with my dad's disease, so she told me to stop saying 'what if' on this. We can control the house we get and how we save our money, only God can control when we get pregnant.

We had a visit today and I totally suspected I had a cyst, which the doctor confirmed I had two. They have been causing some discomfort. Because fertility drugs produce so many eggs, cysts are likely to form. They usually go away on their own, but we need action. So I'm going on birth control pills for a week to get rid of them and then we start fertility drugs again. We decided after leaving the doctor's office that we weren't going to be upset about this. Yes, it's another stumbling block, but the doctor didn't seem concerned. We'll just take care of it. Besides we have moving stress to keep our minds busy.

I'm very excited about getting a house. I just hope the room we have planned as a nursery doesn't stay empty too long.

Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.
Ephesians 3:17
