24 hours and counting!

Okay...so I'm really looking forward to today being OVER!! =) I go in for my blood test tomorrow morning around 8, but we won't get a call from the nurse until sometime in the afternoon--about 24 hours from now! Part of me wants to test at home early, but I'm going to be strong. I'd rather not ruin my excitement today if it is bad news, and I want to the know the number of how pregnant I am!

So Justin and I are watching the seconds tick (slowly) by, and praying that God would bless us with good news tomorrow, Monday, and for the next 9 months!!

Thanks for your prayers! I'll update again tomorrow--hopefully with GREAT news!!

7 days down...3 to go!

Right now, it has exactly one week since our FET. I can't begin to tell you how excited Justin and I are that all is seeming to go so well. During our IVF last year, and during the IUI cycles before that, I had started spotting/bleeding/cramping by this point, and knew that something just wasn't right.

But I have such a peace about this cycle. I've been encouraging Justin not to worry, that all is okay and will continue to be okay. He has been so sweet to me and an absolute nervous wreck that something will go wrong again. My poor hubby! We've had so many times of things going wrong, and he wants this to be THE cycle just as much as I do! Justin, I love you so very much!!

Thank you for your continued prayers, encouragements, and hope along with us that this will be the one!

Only 3 more mornings until we go in for our pregnancy test!! I'm definitely in the countdown!! I know that even if it is a positive result on Friday afternoon, we still have to wait to see the numbers doubling on Monday. That is the part where I think I'll be the most nervous, but I'm choosing to TRUST!! God is in control!

"But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. I will praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?"

Psalm 56:3-4

The many faces of Betsy...

On bedrest!

The most awake she has been all week--she wanted some of my popcorn!



But was soon fast asleep again!


Can you say content??

No matter where I am, she is right there with me, loving every single second of our bedrest!!

So far, all is going so well! I feel great, no spotting, and I'm praying that those little embabies are burrowed in nicely and growing strong!

So many new friends!!

I am absolutely blown away by all of my lurkers new friends that have commented to say hello! Thank you all so much for introducing yourself! I can't tell you how happy I am that you said hi! If there are any more of you, I hope to get to know you too! I've had so much fun checking out your blogs (if you have a link to one) and seeing your beautiful families, your interesting lives, and seeing the amazing women you are!

I just had to share this PRECIOUS picture from my friend Brenda and her daughter Lilly up in Alaska. She is actually a friend of one of my friends here in Texas, and I so hope that I get to meet them in person someday! Brenda--you have been one of the most encouraging people to me these last few years, and this adorable message from Lilly was the icing on the cake! Thank you so much!!

I'm chanting this along with you, sweet Lilly!!
