We all have LISTS, right!?
I have a lot to do before I leave for
Utah
tomorrow!
Yesterday was a busy and fun day being at Youth Conference with my YW!! We did a mini EFY with 3 other stakes at the University of Missouri.
I got reprimanded along with 2 of my youth, for skipping a class. I let them come back to eat lunch because they arrived late, and a leader came and asked us what we were doing out of class...yada yada. We were busting up laughing because I am going to take it as a compliment that she thought I was a teenager and not their leader...or... she was totally tachy and overstepping her boundaries in telling me what to do as a leader.
I'll take the first version.
Anyways, that leaves me with a lot to do still today.
*pack-attire for camping (reunion at Bear Lake and Island Park), swimming suits, church clothes, everyday clothes, hygiene products, gifts for Jamie and Becky, SU stuff/swaps and cards, Tanner’s clothes, cell phone and chargers, snacks, DVD player
*find my swim suit
*do laundry
*pay bills
*bring paperwork for in-vitro consult
*clean house
*stop mail
*YW delegations-meetings, lesson, activities
*turn down AC in the house
*return at Walgreen’s
*blog good-bye
*post office to mail pkg
*clean house
*check in on-line tonight for flight tomorrow
*send out thank-you's
*finish rebate for new printer
*clean house
*watch SYTYCD from last night

We have a lot of fun activities planned while in Utah.
I can't believe how fast my calendar fills up!
I'm so excited for my dates with
blog friends, HS friends, family reunions, Stampin' Up convention, Dr's appts, and much more fun!
yes, Landon and I have an
in-vitro consult!
I'm so excited we get to go spend $400 just to "talk" about the possibility of spending more than TWENTY x's that amount on another possibility of having a baby. Or we can spend at least the 20 x 400 and double that for more of a guarantee.
YIKES.
I'm scared to death, but so excited. This is the first time I've felt good
about the idea of going forward with this.
I hope it's the answer so we can have another sweet angel in our family and lives.
I know it will be worth it!
(That is another reason why I've started using coupons...lol)
It's a freakish amount of money for us to spend when we've already spent well over HUGE numbers of dollars while trying to accomplish having a family.
Tanner's adoption
a failed adoption
attorney fee's
medical expenses
accupuncture
holistic remedies
medical procedures
Having a family is worth more than any tangible amount of money.
I would do ANYTHING for it!
I'm not certain that I want any of those amounts of babies at one time though! That kind of scares me. I'd be more than happy if it happens, but I'm not shooting for the stars on this...I'd be completely satisifed with just one baby!! That's all I'm asking...simple enough:
One cute baby...
preferably as
adorable as this again.
Okay, maybe THAT was too much to ask for... :)

I don't even remember that day! I have the worst memory! My favorite memory of you was playing Mad Gab! I loved how you said the words!

I'm soooo excited for you to get your IVF consult & get things going. I will be totally praying for you in that whole process. Oh, and I hear ya on the $$$$$ to some of us to have a family...but like you said--so worth it! Have a GREAT trip! =) Oh, and you totally look like a YW, so I can see how that lady mixed you up--haha!
I totally agree with you about nothing being better that a family! I am so excited to have my babies come home so we can all be together. I hope things go well with the doc. Have fun in Utah!! I'm jealous. I want to go!!!
It is amazing how life works in mysterious ways... what is ment to be will be and when you know its right you act upon those. I will pray for you both. Good luck getting here and I hope all goes well before you leave.. :) Happy traveling.
Hey Jill--love the baby pics. In some ways that many babies/kids would be awesome and in other ways the thought wears me out. One is enough some days. I hope you have an awesome, fun and productive trip to UT. I really hope that you have success from you IVF mtg and treatments. You and Landon deserve it and your son deserves a sibling...Well I hope you got all your items on your list checked off today! Have a great trip!!
Ooooh...so much to talk about on our GNO...can't wait!
Jill- I don't if you like to talk to other girls about fertility problems and solutions but I have a friend and she ahs created a sisterhood blog. For all the girls out there that are having problems and can give support and encouragement and can relate to ehat you are going through. Anyway if you are interested go to my blog and go to kim and jon link. And she has a link for a sisterhood. Sorry if I over stepped. Have fun in Utah and good luck with the doctors.
Hey sound like you will be at Bear Lake the same time we are. We are leaving tomorrow to drive to Utah for a fun filled week at Bear Lake. Were do you stay? Were are at Ideal Beach in some condos. Maybe I will see you there.
Hey Jill-
I know I dont know what all you've gone through this far - but I try to share my experience whenever I can....
It took us 7 years to get pregnant the first time. We were just about to give up when our family doctor randomly decided to look over our charts. He told us that while ALL of Matts test results were "normal" the results for motility were consistently on the low side of normal.
He sent us to a urologist who said Matt had a verococele - a super large vein that was pumping too uch blood and keeping all the guys too warm and sleepy.
So a VERY simple procedure and 6 months later we were pregnant. Even after all the specialists and fertility doctors - no one ever looked close enough at the results to see what area needed work.
Big time lLesson learned for us.
Best of wishes to you....
Have a fun trip! And good luck with the IVF consult!
Great Blog Jill. I get to see you guys soon!! So excited.
GREAT news! I'm so excited for you, and have all my fingers and toes crossed that it goes well. I'm voting for triplets though. Now THAT would be interesting... :-) GOOD LUCK!
Thanks for the comment about adoption on my blog. I love to see other families that have been built through adoption. Good luck with IVF, if that's the route you go! I think triplets would be fun:)
