and after I took my very first pill, my the pharmacy called and said they git the go ahead with my meds!!!!! yayayayayyayayayay...finalllllly!

Tomorrow I fly to Texas to be with my family.

Its been a GREAT day!

God is soooo good

Last week our pastor spoke on how it is so easy to praise God when things are going GREAT, but when you things don't go our way, how do we handle it?

This was a great topic. I had plenty to practice with allll week.
All in a few days I found out or experienced:
Dad was rushed to hospital in ambulance, admitted to ICU. the newest CT scan shows the cancer has spread to now the liver, adrenal glands and his lymph nodes are swollen so probably in them too.
My pharmacy side of my insurance says that I have no coverage and I have to get them to override it AGAIN but now I am running out of time.
My IVF clinic does NOT want to start me on my meds because my genetic probe isn't complete even though I have already been told I can start my meds and that it will be done in plenty of time.
My best friend is WAY busy with soooooo many things in her own life. Her babies are involved with so many things. Her husband and her have been doing more things together, her sister is home and going through ALOT of things. So she is VERY involved with all of that and I feel a little left out. I just keep praying that she can clone herself because i miss the crap out of her and am used to having all of her to myself with all that I am going through.
I dropped my camera and broke it. Yes the 1500$ camera
I am going to Texas and lovey may not be able to go again because of his job.
A good friend of mine is getting a divorce after 5 years of marraige and a little girl.

so how do I handle all of this? I am thankful. I thankful for all the things in my life. As our pastor said. What lense do you use? the lense of poor me, or this will be great?

My dad has been blessed with over a year after diagnosis when they told me that people usually only get 6 months...
I start BCP for my IVF tomorrow
God is soooooo good. I have found a church that I love and that my husband enjoys alot. I am so thankful to Jess and Tony and Mindy for asking us to go. I had shyed away thinkin it was a family affair for Jess but its one of the best things I have ever gotten from our friendship.
My marriage is getting stronger and stronger with every minute. Its such a blessing.
I found out that DJ went to church today with Bre and Calleigh.- this is a LONNNNNG answer to prayer.
DJ has rekindled his relationship with my Dad. he there right now visiting him.
My Shani is praying and reading the bible too:)
My best friend is there for her sister and who could be a better person then my Jess.
My husband bought the ext warranty on the camera, so its going back to be fixed.
A really good of mine that works for SW Airlines gave me buddy passes for me to go see my family.

As I sat outside while my husband changed the brakes on his truck. I was overcome with joy. We got up together and I made coffee. He made me breakfast. I made him lunch. I asked him to help me clean up. He did with a smile and a lot of laughter. We then cleaned out front storage room and laughed the whole time. Its been a great day.

So last night church was about relationships. I don't think the marriage thing truly applied to me because it was more about broken marriages and broken relationships. So I am taking what I learned and applying it my relationship with my Dad and his wife and to the relationship with our brother n law and his wife.

so Ill end with...what lens do you look at your life through?

Great news!!!!!!

I just got off the phone with the Dr Hughes at Genesis Genetics...I say his name because he is soooo awesome and I want the world to know who he is and about his awesome company....

So the long short of it...I START MEDS IN A FEW DAYS!!!!!the egg transfer is about 40 days away or soooo...what an answer to prayer. This is really happening.

The pharmacy called me Saturday and they are shipping my injectable meds Tuesday for me to get Wednesday.

The Dr asked me to email him pictures of me and Lovey so that he can print them and post them above where the blue team, whom is working on our case, can see them always to make us real people and no longer a barcode:) This made me cry. This is sweet.

This has been such a GREAT day and such an answer to prayer!

April 2009

So I am waiting on the call from the PGD place to tell me my test is finished and that I can start meds. I talk to the Dr. on Monday at 1:30 so maybe he'll have some good news. I called the nurse and asked her with the Lupron Protocol that I will be on...what is the timeline?
21 days BCP
on day 14 of that start Lupron
after the BCP take 10 days of the Stims
2-3 later egg retrieval.
So basically 33-34 days from start to finish
Sooo my Jess has a brilliant idea...If on Monday the Dr tells me that the test wont be ready for a few more weeks....Why don't I just take BCP and see if I can buy 2 more weeks..if the test isn't done then I just take the remainder of the pills...I called to ask the nurse but she didn't call me back yet..so maybe:)Then I wont loose an entire month!!!!

I started P90X. Jessica and Tony have had it and did it last year....Tony lost gobs of weight so I started with them, plus Mindy and as of yesterday, Lovey too:) I cant wait to see how well it works. I already feel much better and its only been 4 days but omg does it kick ur butt...like woah

I am starting a small kids photography business. I love it. I am ok...not wonderful but not bad...so I sent my family and friends and email asking for their pick between two names..Casicline's Designs or Lil Faith Photography...it seems hands down I'm getting lots of emails for the Casicline designs...You can see some of my pics I have take on Flickr...

if ANYone has an helpful ideas that you can offer I would be so thankful....My Jess shows me Becomingmoms blog and she is sooooo talented. I want to learn how to do it like her:) I also make headbands with bows and flowers that are interchangeable. I have bought lots of props too from consignment stores. I love this photographer and this is how awesome I want my pics to look one day...http://www.kimberlyjarman.net. The newborn pics on my Flikr is my very first newborn shoot. The parents were great but they did not want to undress him..so the few of the bare skin I got are between dressing him and they put him on his back alot...my bad. I need to be more assertive with how I want him posed I guess. Thats something I def got to work on...lol BTW my husbands ex girlfriend is who referred him to me..then when they get there it turns out that he knows my old youth leader- like his her husbands cousin...whoah small world lol.

My brother finally handed in his resignation letter that my Dad asked for. I TRULY think that my Dad NEVER thought DJ would leave the company. I think when he sent the email asking for his resignation he thought he would get an email back from DJ giving in....well it didn't happen. I think now he is regretting his decision and also seeing how his wife has turned him against everyone in his own family. He is sending friendly emails to DJ and DJ's heart is warm from it. He has missed my real-non omega Dad. Crap, we all have. I did find out his cancer is Stage IV....not good.
My Dad named Q the new sales manager. He was the only choice. I mean we cant afford to pay anyone else anymore. We cant pay anyone on time. Because of one of our employees making a scene the other day, we got payed only 2 days late this time. YaY for that!!!!!

I have trying to use Twitter, but I suck on that just like I do with updating my blog. lol

We had dinner her for Easter..it was ALOT of work but so worth it. We had a GREAT time! We went to a new church with Loveys twin and his wife but we didnt like it at all so its back to Flamingo Road with Jess and her family:)

till Monday thats it and thats all.
