A New Year - A New Chance!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! We were very blessed with an amazing Christmas and a great start to the New Year so far!
Im sorry for not posting much but I really tried not to think too much about this journey during the holidays. I really wanted to enjoy my time with Craig and Collin and not be sad over what I do not have. With that said - let me fill you in on the last month. We met with my Dr before Christmas and talked about how our cycle went and where we go from here. He was concerned with the fact that I am a low responder to the meds as I was with Collin's cycle 5 years ago. This last cycle I was on the highest dosage of medicine that he can ethically give to me. With that amount he expected me to produce far more eggs than I did. So we ran some tests to basically see if I am going through early menapause. I am happy to say that I am not! Basically my body is just stubborn (go figure)! Dr A Rod feels confident that being on the same protocol next time still gives us a high chance of success. So we will follow his orders and see what happens. Right now we are shooting for another cycle in 4-6 weeks. I am ready to go as soon as Dr A Rod is fully healed from shoulder surgery and can perform my surgery.
This cycle will more than likely be our last cycle so I am determined to make it the best! I will admit that for the last cycle I did not eliminate stress like I should have. I am determined this time around I will not stay up all night mopping floors and doing dishes. I am not going to stay at work late and come home to work late into the night. If my house is a little messy all will be okay. If anyone pops in and notices a crumb on the table or a fur ball in the corner - just ignore it because that is what I am doing! I am also back to working out to try to get my body in a healthier place prior to any pregnancy. With Collin I was at the gym five days a week up until delivery. Now I am working out with Collin - it keeps it interesting to say the least!
I am excited for 2011. We are ready for a new season of Tball to start up and are excited to start kindergarden this fall (wow is it already that time?). I started a new job with Metlife in December and am thrilled to work on a new project and see where this takes me. Also - to all my family in California - we are planning a road trip to come see you guys! We are thinking sometime in late summer but will let you know once we are able to narrow it down! We will come to the end of our journey and whatever that leads us to will be perfect. Our family is wonderful now so it can only get better from here!
I will update again once we get the go ahead to start the cycle with Dr Rodriguez. I am praying that it is soon but want to make sure that he is in perfect health to take on this cycle. I put 100% faith that if our family is to expand - he is the man to get us there!

Hugs to all!
