A new chapter means a new outlook...

I realize it's been a bit since I last posted. A lot has changed. We moved back to Peoria, Il to be with our family. We've started the process of buying a home and are currently living with my wonderful, giving, in-laws. They've been so supportive in our journey home. The process was waiting. Patience is not my number one asset so when I knew we'd have to put our baby hopes on hold, it sort of took a part out of me. However, now that Josh and I have settled into our new jobs and our insurance is updated, we move on!

I have a friend who was having her own share of issues in the pregnancy world. She sought a doc in Peoria who helped her along. And now, she's expecting! Her and I aren't close...she's actually a friend of a friend, but I have hung out with her and her husband before. They are awesome people and when I heard the great news, I was elated for them. I thought, "So maybe there's hope for me!" I got her doc's info and called today.

I spoke to the nurse who was very helpful from the get go. I have a consult next Friday to begin the preparations!

I have to tell you, after I made the appointment today I had goosebumps and couldn't stop smiling. FINALLY! The biggest step we'll make! Seeing a fertility specialist is what I've wanted from the moment I realized something was wrong. And now it's happening! I have a new outlook on our journey and I am once again filled with immense hope. Now, we send positive vibes into the atmosphere and just envision that sweet baby's face. :)

Until next time!
