Finding the Sunshine: Beginning In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
http://spencerandamy.blogspot.com/2012/08/beginning-in-vitro-fertilization-ivf.html
Wednesday, August 29, 2012. Beginning In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). So the financial doors have been miraculously opened for us (there are stories I could tell, but wish to keep them private. Let's just say that after taking a huge leap of faith, God has worked through multiple avenues to alleviate what would otherwise be a huge burden for us. Pure miracles.) We've at last started on this journey called In Vitro Fertilization. I hope it WORKS. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My brush with pregnancy.

Finding the Sunshine: November 1st
http://spencerandamy.blogspot.com/2012/12/november-1st.html
Sunday, December 9, 2012. A day I will never forget but don't want to remember. But I feel compelled to write about it. I've felt prompted by the Spirit that I need to continue to tell my story. I'm not sure the exact purpose or reason, but I take seriously the commandment to write and to document our history. So here goes. Help me to have peace! Alone on the couch, I felt these feelings as I suffered. Yet, I felt Him near. Bearing me up. Encouraging me on. Knowing my pain. It felt so cold and shallow, a...

Finding the Sunshine: June 2013
http://spencerandamy.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 13, 2013. June 11, 2013. Actually, I am double grateful to Him right now for what He dropped down this past weekend. It was like a big hunk of meat compared to the usual manna. Probably because he knew the date. Was coming and I needed extra nourishment . Every January and June I am in charge of the Music for Stake Conference (a large church meeting in which several surrounding congregations come together). It worked out this time for us to be able to do a Primary Choir (children). Here is...

Finding the Sunshine: M - Day
http://spencerandamy.blogspot.com/2013/05/m-day.html
Sunday, May 19, 2013. Mother's Day. Or because it's more like D - Day for me and other child-free/infertility warriors, we painfully call it M - Day. I braved it with dread like I do every year. I assumed and determined myself to face it and survive it like in times past, focusing on the children in my life and obviously my own mother. Until the Friday before M-Day when I sat down to finalize everything . I broke down . And I knew I couldn't do it. I just couldn't be strong this year. I packed my bags.

http://spencerandamy.blogspot.com/2012/09/september-sunshine.html
Sunday, September 30, 2012. September ☼ Sunshine. Through the craziness and waiting, we must continue to try and Find the Sunshine. And so I give you, September ☼ Sunshine:. We celebrated my sweet puppy boy's 2nd birthday back on September 1st! I force him to pose with his birthday hat on before I give him the reward of opening his present. He's such a good obedient little guy. About as sweet as they come! We love our Royce! His present was a stuff-less raccoon. He loved it! I've had the privilege of han...

Finding the Sunshine: November 2012
http://spencerandamy.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 1, 2012. What I posted on Facebook. After the past 2 and half weeks of torturous waiting and back and forth about whether my pregnancy is a viable one. It is officially a miscarriage. I've told a few people over the past 2 weeks, but didn't dare make any kind of announcement until it was for sure. I have been grieving and mourning a lot already since they originally diagnosed the doom, and as of right now I just feel relie. Please do that for me today. Links to this post. This post is ...

Finding the Sunshine: My Story
http://spencerandamy.blogspot.com/2013/01/my-story.html
Tuesday, January 8, 2013. I have been missing from the blog lately, I know. But it doesn't mean I haven't been writing. I just hadn't Published my writings. I've actually written a lot through my IVF and miscarriage experience. Mostly in my journal. But others were unpublished posts on this blog that I just wasn't ready to share yet. I haven't quite been myself, I know. I am not the same as I used to be. I feel like damaged goods. And for some reason, mostly my social skills seem to be impacted. January ...

Finding the Sunshine: Now to Wait
http://spencerandamy.blogspot.com/2012/09/now-to-wait.html
Sunday, September 23, 2012. It's a done deed. Quite an exhausting and amazing experience, really. We've been in Atlanta for the past week for daily Dr. visits, and specifically for the Egg Retrieval and Embryo Transfer. Most people think of spending a week in an Atlanta hotel as a vacation. haha! Everything went well, and they were able to retrieve 11 eggs. I spent the rest of the day recovering in the hotel room. Spencer gave his sample, and the creation process began! And Spencer actually laughed!

Finding the Sunshine: The week from hell
http://spencerandamy.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-week-from-hell.html
Saturday, October 20, 2012. The week from hell. This is a BACK POST*. I didn't originally type this on the blog, but wrote it in my journal and wanted to share excerpts that reveal my thoughts and feelings as I went through the tumultuous two weeks of back and forth about whether my pregnancy was viable. This week has been the week from hell. The biggest one being in downtown ATL. We hit it just after I'd made the phone call to the Dr's office letting them know we'd be 15-20 minutes late. Grrr! I don't e...
