Happy Infertilaversary!!

This week marks our 6th year of trying to conceive our first child.  This sucks and I don't really know what else to say about it.  I never, ever thought we'd be in this place.  I think I will be taking a break from femara and hcg injections this next cycle...I know we'll still BD around fertile time, but I just need to step away from some of this.  Maybe that's what I need...time to relax!  Of course, that is when it will happen, when I least expect!  HA!!

We watched my 4 1/2 yr old neice and 2 1/2 yr old nephew from yesterday morning until today at church.  They were soooo good.  Didn't cry or ask for their parents (sorry L and J!!!).  It was also a lot of work.  We did a little shopping (4 stores, that's a lot of in and out of the car!), played with hex bugs, watched a movie and rested, checked out the garden, took Nissa for a walk, listened to my iPod and danced, had fun with bubbles, colored and put stickers on things, painted toenails, played candyland and shoots and ladders, ate lots of junk food, put princess and super hero tatoos on, had fun singing silly songs with uncle Tim, and played lots with Nissa.  All of this in 24 hours with about 9-10 hours of sleep!  Very productive I'd say!

We met my sister and bro-in-law at our church.  The kids did not last very long after they saw their parents!!  Hopefully they will both take naps this afternoon!
The other highlight of my weekend was getting baptised!!  I was dedicated as an infant, but finally decided to be baptised recently.  I know that my relationship with God has grown through this whole infertility thing.  Some days I really hate that, and others I'm glad something good is coming from it!

I can't believe summer is almost over!  I'm not ready for that, but I guess we don't really have a choice.  Sorry for being all over the place in this post, maybe I need to post more often!  ;)
