{insert violin music here}

What a crappy day yesterday.

-Drove to Milwaukee with a very tired, very whiney and honery toddler to have my blood test
-Came home, got the dreaded phone call with negative results
-Bawled my eyes out
-Went to the gym and fought back tears as I stepped my little heart out on the revolving staircase, then ran my heart out on the treadmill
-Came home and shed a few more tears
-Noah tumbled down the stairs from the top of the staircase
-Grant checks to make sure he is not paralyzed or has a spinal cord injury (as Grant suffers from paranoia with anything having to do with Noah).... he's fine, by the way.
-Made my favorite oatmeal chocolate chip cookies
-Ate said cookies, and cookie dough
-**highlight of the day** opened the mail with a Nordstrom gift card waiting for me to spend :)


Sometimes I think Heavenly Father is waiting to give me another baby until I can learn to have a little more patience with my first child. :)


Well anyway, it is a good thing we were able to freeze 12 embryos, so hopefully we will be able to try again in the near future. (Noah came from a frozen embryo, so you just never know.......) Time to break open the piggy bank! At least now I can stop the 2 inch needle progesterone injections into my bum every night. There's looking to the bright side.

there is no reason to have any violin music. that day is about as crappy as they come. I am glad it ended on a high note though! LOVE gift cards!! I need to be like you and be more optimistic. you are really amazing!

I'm so sorry, Bri. I don't "really" know, but I know enough to have an idea of how devastating this is for you guys. It's not just "you're not pregnant this month"... I feel just awful for you guys. Please know I'll be thinking about and praying for you.

you are such a strong person briauna! I admire you guys so much! we continue to pray for you every day, and who knows, maybe you'll have twins to make up for it haha......

Bri, I spoke with you at playgroup last week so I hope this isn't weird of me to leave a comment, but I just wanted to say how sorry I am. You go through so much to bring those babies into the world!

Dede said...

Ugh. I am so so sorry Bri.

Debra said...

Just ran across your blog...I had no idea you were going through all this. I'm so sorry things didn't work out for you these past couple weeks. I hope a little shopping trip can cheer you up!

I'm so sorry, Briauna! Sounds like you have 4 of the best things to cheer you up though: Nordstrom, cookies, hubby, and adorable baby!!! Not in that order, of course-unless you're me. Since only the first two are options :) haha. Love you.

Leslie said...

So sorry. My heart and prayers go out to you.

Oh Bri, I'm so sorry. I had a terrible week last week, not nearly as bad as your day. And I too ate cookie dough (oatmeal choc chip), ran on a treadmill, and I got a Nordstrom Note in the mail today, actually. I think a new pair of shoes are calling our names. Thinking of you, lady. Now go drown your sorrows in the shoe department.

Ugh, Briauna, I'm so sorry. We are thinking about you guys and hoping that all goes well next round. This baby's going to be so perfect... he'll be worth the wait.

Let me know if I can do anything for you.
