God's grace

"Your grace flows down and covers me" that describes how I feel today. I feel very blessed, in more ways than just one. God's grace overwhelms me, I can feel Him working in my life and I want to share it with you. First, I have to say that I am so thankful for Jason. I couldn't ask for a better husband. I know that at times, I am probably not the easiest person to put up with, but he does every single day. He ignores my downfalls and continues to uplift me everyday. He is such a fun person to be around and I have to say he almost always embarrasses me at doctor's offices, LOL. Today, was our appointment with Dr G, the Reproductive Endocrinologist/Fertility Specialist and we walked by a room where they performed vaginal ultrasounds and Jason had to make a comment about if thats where we had to go sit....it was funny at the time, he's nuts and I love him for it. Our appointment went very well, I was extremely emotional for some reason, could be my hormones since I am on my period, or just a mixture of other things too. Dr G sure didn't mess around, he went straight to the baby making talk. Since I am on my period right now, he told me that, that most likely means I ovulated with the Clomid last month, which I sure felt like I did, so that is good news. Since today was day 5 of my cycle, he started me on 2 Clomid (100mg total) pills a day for the next 5 days and we will do a vaginal ultrasound on April 30th. Then based on the ultrasound results, I will take an HCG injection on May 1, 2, or 3rd and we will set a date for the intrauterine insemination (IUI). So, were talking like 2 weeks away folks, I couldn't ask for a better birthday present. I know that our first IUI may not be successful, but just knowing that Dr G is on my side and is willing to help us out, I feel so much better about all of this. We told him what had happened last month and he said, well I can guarantee you that will not happen here, so that made me feel so much better....another way I am thankful for God's grace. I honestly feel God's hand in this, He knows what He's doing and I am going to trust Him. As I started the Clomid again, I pray that my moods don't act up too much, although maybe this would be a good week, Jason and I aren't going to see a whole lot of each other this week, he's going out of town and I am going to be with my brother in law and mother in law in Cleveland Tuesday-Thursday for my brother in law's doctors appointment. Please remember him in your prayers right now as well, he had surgery on a herniated disc right before Christmas and has a keloid (scar tissue mass) forming in his spine where the disc was and its pressing on a nerve and has the potential to cause a lot of damage, his doctor referred him to the Cleveland Clinic, so off we go. These next 2 weeks are going to be crazy busy, but all in all, I am thankful. I am just praying that God will continue to bless us with His grace and I am praying for our baby. I was reading one of the books that Kelly gave to me, Songs of Infertility, and one of the ladies had written a prayer for her baby and it may sound funny to others, but I pray for our baby almost every day, even though he/she, or maybe even they (LOL) are not here with us yet. God is amazing and I am trusting in Him and His master plans.
