A gray hair? Are you kidding me?

This morning I got up and found a gray hair!!! I can't have a gray hair! I'm having a baby!!! I thought I wasn't supposed to get these until she was a teenager!

My Baby Blog

In October of 2009 Brian and I decided it was time to take our baby journey to the next step - IVF. It was a huge financial commitment not to mention all the shot and medications it required. I started my injections while I was at conference in Lubbock. I remember my poor roommate, Lori, almost passing out when she saw the size of the needle. I was scheduled to take one injection in the morning and one injection in the evening. By my second injection, I felt terrible. I was sure I had the flu but by the morning I felt fine again. So, on day two I took my next injection and again by the evening I was running a temperature and feeling pretty miserable. When the same thing happened day three - I called my doctor and he instructed me to fly back home. Turns out I was allergic to the meds! We ended up having to cancel that IVF cycle and try again.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have very little patience. I'm constantly on the go and this set back, although only a couple of months, seemed like FOREVER!

During this time I just kept reminding myself that God has a plan. It was killing me that I couldn't figure out what that was ; ) but I took comfort in knowing that God was in control.

Crazy Dream...

Last night I kept having the same crazy dream over and over...
I was all set up to broadcast live outside at some park. I had several people standing next to me ready to talk on the radio but every time we started talking we were drowned out by loud motorcycles. After a couple of seconds the sounds would stop so we'd start talking again and here came the motorcycles. Very weird dream.

Then I woke up and heard both my husband and my dog snoring louder than freight trains. I think I found my mystery motorcycles.

It's a girl!

It finally happened! Brian and I are expecting our very first little baby. She's due July 8. That seems so far away but since it took us 3 long years to get here I think I can wait just a little longer.

After several failed IUI's, a miscarriage, a failed IVF cycle, and LOTS of money we had pretty much given up our the dream of having a child of our own. And that's when it happened. Our prayers were answered.

I know there are so many couples out there struggling with unexplained infertility just like we did. Let's be honest - it sucks! I think the worst thing is the whole "unexplained" part. There's no good reason why it shouldn't work...it just doesn't. That's why I want to share our story. It is truly a miracle.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

More on our story tomorrow...

The Things I Do For Roy...

Thank you all for coming out to the Roy Gene Fundraiser this past Saturday. I was so proud of the wonderful response from the Bryan/College Station community. A BIG THANK YOU to Butch and the BBQ team and everyone who volunteered - you guys were GREAT!

So during the fundraiser, I was trying to do my part to help. In addition to the live broadcast, I was assisting the BBQ team behind the scenes. That's when it happened. Butch was carrying an extremely hot pan of BBQ sausage when the pan began to fold in on itself. Recognizing that the sausage was in serious jeopardy, I sprang into action and grabbed the edge of the pan. Did I mention it was REALLY HOT? Well, it was REALLY HOT! I managed to blister the tips of all my fingers on my right hand. That's right, I'm typing this entire blog as a left. Oh, the things I do for Roy.

My Boy Friends Birthday!

Happy Birthday George Strait!
I love you. Call me.

Teddy Bear...really?

So I was listening to Roger and Roy this morning and I know all about it! Those two crazies asked everyone listening to call in today during the Big Lunch Rush and request "Teddy Bear." OMG!!! I would rather play "Snake Farm" and I hate that song ; )

Instead...why not make it a George Strait day - all George, all the time! Now that's good radio!
