Oh goodness! Throughout this path of fertility treatment, I've heard MANY women talk of excessive testing as they wait. This hasn't really hit me until my present cycle. We have a TON of tests in the closet and I'm SO tempted to test. It's too early and I know it. I'm on eggshells waiting to find out the Lords plan for us. There's an inkling of anxiety and I see myself wanting to control the outcome if only to test to see where we will be next month.
To calm my heart, mind and spirit, I've been reading scripture that fits the occassion. I am atimate about staying the course and focusing solely on God. THIS is my still season right now. When I find my mind is getting side tracked, I try to redirect myself to do "what's right". Is testing REALLY going to change Gods outcome? Wouldn't it be better to wait on the LORD'S plan to unravel and not to rush Him?!
God is good and I know He'll reveal His plan in time. His timing as I've said before is PERFECT.
In the meantime, I've been getting things done around the house. The temperatures have been in the single digits lately so it's given us ample time to reorganize here. We bought bookshelves the other day that I had planned to put on each side of the sliding glad doors in the dining room. They look PERFECT. I have to change the curtains, but that will come in time. We have a TON of books and we'll most likely have more coming in the house soon. We have a book case upstairs and now two more downstairs. I tilted my dining room table and it looks SO nice! Why didn't I think of that before??
We also got my new sewing machine off layway at Sears. The desk we put together is complete and is also in the bay window area in the dining area. It all comes together nicely. I can't wait to get to my sewing again. I have a quilting class in February to look forward too.
I'll start putting pictures up again when we get a new camera. Oh how I miss blogging with pictures!
Love to you all!

Oh waiting on the Lord is hard...but if that is what's best for your body so you don't add undue stress to yourself or possibly the baby...then rest and wait.
I will be praying for you
