My super-hero big boy~

Luke is very into super hero's at the moment. We have an abundance of hero undies, toys, cups, and t-shirts. His fave is batman and spiderman. His 4th birthday party will be "Super-Hero" themed at Ready Set Go gym. He's all boy and I love it :)

Just takin' family pics at the park~

An early NM Easter

This past weekend, Luke had an early Easter with Justin's family. We will be flying home from Florida on Easter , so it was a fun to get to celebrate with a real Easter egg hunt and Easter bunny cake! Luke loves to help Nana in the kitchen. He had a really fun day filled with lots of treats!

A weekend w/ T

I was so excited my sister flew in town to spend her 32nd birthday with us! My mom & dad had visited her the week before in Boise, and of course, she wanted to spend her birthday with Luke. So, we planned her a small birthday celebration! We ate at Ruby Tequilas, had ice cream, and a beautiful pink, princess cake! (Luke picked out!) The next day, we took Luke to jumpin' jungle and chik fil-a. That night we had a great time at the Newsboys concert and working the I Am Second booth! Its funny to watch people ask Tamara for her autograph. She is my sister and I tease her, keep her in reality about her star status :) I feel blessed to celebrate another birthday with Tamara. There are no words that can even describe that, so I will sum it up with what a blessing from God.

This and that...

The more we have been on our journey with the fertility doctor and our ob's, the more personal I have become with the whole process. It's probably why I quit sharing so much for awhile. I have enjoyed reading others blogs while taking a blogging break for a moment.

Life has been really busy. Non stop really since Christmas. I will update, post pics, etc later.

Today, I want to take my thoughts to words on this blog. I want to document where we are, what we have been doing. I believe in miracles and I fully believe Justin and I will be blessed with another baby and I do believe fully it will happen this year. Despite what the medical side believes, I can feel it in my soul. Lately, I find myself decorating a baby (that I don't have) future room. (Thanks Pinterest!) I look at Pottery Barn kids for bedding all the time. Picked out names and imagined life with another baby in our home. And I am not even pregnant. Maybe a little crazy?! Either way, I can feel it and I believe it will happen.

Our doctor appointments are almost complete for this round and I feel really good. A couple of months ago, my doctor caught something on my blood work that had them look a little more into my thyroid. Turns out, my thyroid wasn't functioning in "range" for about 18 months. I get blood work once every few months (for Lupus) and have for almost 6 years, from the same doctor. How he missed something like that, I have no idea. But, no sense in looking backwards in frustration. I just keep looking forward to what miracles could happen. They started me on some medication for it. Hoping it would fix itself, if not, we would do surgery. Luckily, after 7 weeks, my thyroid started responding. My energy level has more than increased. The best part about the thyroid and hormone meds, my hair has grown a lot and I find myself having great hair/skin days more often than not!

Hopefully I can report back soon that we have a little miracle growing in our life. I just have this really confident feeling that God will be blessing our family soon. :)
