This Saturday was the first Saturday since January that we didn't have to worry about working school into our schedule. Such a tempting taste of freedom! 10 classes down and 4 to go before we wash our hands of grad school! We're all getting very tired of the rigors that full-time work, full-time school and full-time LIFE bring! We did have some fun this month (photos taken at a Nationals game from a fun weekend with Grammy & Papa!) and
finally went back to see the fertility doc.
It was our secret wish that we would be able to grow our family without medical intervention, but after a year of drug therapy it looks like we will be needing a little more help. We don't want to turn our blog into a PCOS dialog, but know that a lot of family and friends want these updates... so we will share them regularly. Right now I have two large cysts on one of my ovaries that have to be cleared up before we can begin the cycle treatments... Our doctor is confident that we can avoid surgery to remove them. It's such a different mix of emotions than the last time we were in the midst of this process... i guess it's because there are different motives once you are already a parent. Better in a lot of ways. We both feel like we are in a good place to approach the trials that will most certainly come! (Near weekly trips to Charlottesville will probably be the first shock to our systems! Not to mention our gas budget!) Plus, even if it all goes awry... we still get to come home to our beautiful little girl and soak up all the Joy she gives us!

I love your updates! I had no idea until a few posts ago that you struggle with fertility. I'm so sorry. You are a fantastic mother and I'm positive that God has children in store for you! Good luck and keep us posted. Our prayers will be with you! I love seeing your parents with Stevie! They look like their world revolves around her... isn't that awesome!?!
Let us know if you need help while traveling back and forth! Stevie is a great girl to have around.:)
Aw, the looks on your parents' faces in the pictures with Stevie are priceless. I'm pretty sure that being grandparents is pure joy for them! :) She is such a little doll!
little stevie is adorable! I didn't know you guys were working on number 2! Good luck with that! Being a parent of 2 is sooo crazy sometimes but of course fun as well! I'm sure you will be blessed with a sibling soon!
