Something Magical happened today....

I can't remember if I told you ... we started a fundraiser on GiveForward.org. The advice of some great friends pushed us to start it. I was reluctant at first, but holy cow! It's unbelievable to see the generosity of people! That's been wonderful. The support and love is breath taking. There's an area where you can give updates and here's my last one on there:

I know it's been awhile since I've updated anyone on what's been going on. We have still been going forward with all the tests needed. Finally! We are DONE with the blood work! Yahoo! At least I hope so anyway haha. One of my hormone levels was low so I was on medication to regulate that. It's finally at a normal reading sooooo....doc said it's go time! As of right now, we are unable to afford the full IVF. However, I know with the power of good vibes and prayer, we can make IUI work!  Doc will find out the right fertility medication to take before we do the procedure so it may be another month before it actually happens. Good news is, we have never been this far into the process. We aren't taking steps back anymore. We are FINALLY making progress!! 

Thank you so much for all your generosity. All of your donations are going towards the IUI procedure. We will be shutting down this fundraiser soon, as I know it's the holiday season and there are people in need, so much more in need, of donations than we are. We are sincerely honored to call all of you friends. You have no idea what your generosity means to us. Thank you all again. So so much. From the bottoms of our hearts. <3

Love,

Steph and Josh

With that being said...We were told the meds we needed and ordered them. This is where the magic happens...

I was on my way home from work tonight, listening to Pandora. I turned on my street and a song came on the station that didn't match what the station was about...

It was a beautiful song so I let it play. I turned into my driveway and saw the box sitting on my door step...the box with the fertility drugs I ordered. My heart skipped. I stopped the car, got out, picked up the box and went back to my car and sat in my driveway, holding the box, and cried. I cried and smiled so big. A feeling of hope and happiness took over me and it was such a beautiful event. The song was perfect. The rainy sky. Just me holding what could possibly be my entire future in a little brown box. It was pure magic. That song just made everything perfect.  

I know it sounds weird and dramatic to some of you. But we have been on this chaotic journey for so long and we've never been this far...it's finally happening. Things are finally moving forward.
