Wow, have things changed since my last post! I have been wanting to make this update for quite awhile now, but things look a lot different now that I have a baby 🙂 In January, Joseph and I knew that our number one goal in 2019 was to become parents, but at the time we… Continue reading We Adopted!!!

Resolutions

January 15, 2019 reneesrambling2 Comments

If you’ve read through my blog before, you will know how torn I have always felt between pursuing a family or a career, and will know that the decision to become a PA student and put fertility treatments on hold was one that took a lot of faith and hope. As you may know, before… Continue reading Resolutions

New Year, New Hope

January 1, 2018January 1, 2018 reneesrambling1 Comment

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since my last blog post. 2017 was a great year for me and Joseph. I started PA school last January and Joseph received a couple promotions at work. God has truly blessed us! I can’t wait to see what He has in store for us in… Continue reading New Year, New Hope

10 Years with my Soulmate

January 17, 2017 reneesrambling1 Comment

On January 17, 2007 Joseph awkwardly asked me to be his girlfriend in front of the school bus. We were in 9th grade at the time, and after going on a few dates he finally asked if I would “go out with him.” He then immediately turned around and almost didn’t even hear my answer, then… Continue reading 10 Years with my Soulmate

Happy New Year!

January 1, 2017 reneesramblingLeave a comment

All in all, 2016 was a great year for me and Joseph. We started the year off with a cruise to the Bahamas to celebrate Joseph graduating from Virginia Tech. We came back in the States to a voicemail offering him a job, which he started in February. We were able to move to Fishersville… Continue reading Happy New Year!

Another Christmas with Infertility

December 19, 2016 reneesrambling3 Comments

For some reason experiencing Christmas while dealing with infertility is very rough. I’m constantly thinking and reminded of my desire for children all throughout the year, but Christmas is especially hard. This is our 3rd Christmas hoping and wanting to be parents. Every year I’ve thought that surely by next Christmas we will be expecting… Continue reading Another Christmas with Infertility

A Much Needed Update!

October 24, 2016October 24, 2016 reneesrambling2 Comments

I have been meaning to post an update for the past 2 weeks – yes, 2 weeks! But things have gotten crazy and I haven’t had a chance. Plus, I’ve still been processing all the emotions of the last 2 weeks and am still in disbelief. I found out on October 12th that I’ve been… Continue reading A Much Needed Update!

Here’s to More Waiting

October 8, 2016 reneesrambling1 Comment

I had my follow-up with the RE yesterday. He did some more bloodwork and apparently the strength of Levothyroxine I’m on is working because I’m now in a good range for TTC. Our plan for our first treatment cycle with him is exactly what I thought it would be: Clomid + IUI. Apparently I won’t… Continue reading Here’s to More Waiting

An Update from RE Consultation

September 28, 2016 reneesrambling2 Comments

I’ve been waiting to post an update until we got all of our results back. I called the office this morning to schedule our next visit to discuss our options from here, so all of this information is just what I’ve received from the Patient Portal messages from the clinic. The HSG came back normal.… Continue reading An Update from RE Consultation

The Wait Continues

September 6, 2016 reneesrambling2 Comments

I’m sorry that I’ve been MIA lately! A lot has happened since my last blog post. I did end up getting an interview with Murphy Deming, and I’ve already been informed that I’m on the waitlist. It definitely wasn’t the answer I was hoping for, as this just means yet another season of waiting for… Continue reading The Wait Continues
