Catching Up

Due to the busyness of the holidays and some frustrating internet issues, I've gotten a little behind, so allow me to catch you up on what's been going on with us.

 I've posted since our Disney trip, but I never posted about our Disney trip. Talk about an oversight! We had a blast and can't wait to go back!

I think Piper was the perfect age. Big enough to remember it and ride most of the rides, but small enough that the wonder of it all was not lost on her. It was a wonderful, much-needed get away full of great memories!


Earlier in December, we took a trip to Bristol, TN to check out the Christmas lights. I love how excited Piper was looking at the lights! If you're anywhere near Bristol, I highly recommend making the trip, it was well worth it.

On December 21st, my sweet girl celebrated another birthday. I can't believe she's five! That just doesn't even seem possible. I always knew she was a blessing, but I never realized what a miracle she was until I lost her siblings. I am so, so incredibly thankful for each birthday I get to celebrate with her.

I am constantly amazed by her and in awe of the fact that God chose me to be her Mommy. I'm truly blessed!


Christmas is very busy for us, as it is for most people. As crazy as it was, we had a great holiday. I love the joy and excitement on Piper's face as she opens gifts. I love that she's really starting to understand the true meaning of Christmas and what we're celebrating. I love celebrating the birth of my Savior. I love spending time with my family.

Christmas, like most holidays, is very bittersweet for me, though. I just can't ever shake the feeling that someone is missing. I can't help but remember that I should have more babies with presents under the tree or that we should be anxiously anticipating the arrival of a new little one.


I had a doctor appointment the day after Christmas and am currently on day eleven of medicated cycle number four. After the last two cycles, which were complete failures, I don't have high hopes for this month. Dr. C promised me that we'll switch to Clomid if I don't get pregnant this cycle. He wanted to give the Femara one more shot. My follicle scan is tomorrow, so fingers crossed everyone.
