I know, it’s been awhile… October 20, 2006

a long while. It has been hard to write when there is not much to write about. Since the miscarriage we decided to take the summer off of baby making. My schedule is crazy in the summer with travel for work and it is hard to schedule life around where you need to be when you are ovulating. Since then there have also been some things in my health that we have discovered. I have always known about my hypothyroid condition but now my cholesterol is very high. My doctor did not want to put me on cholesterol meds because I am trying to conceive but I weighed the facts and would rather get myself healthy than not take the meds. We figure I am no good to my partner or a child if I cannot live a healthy life, or live at all for that matter. Also, my doctor said I have Metabolic Syndrome, basically my genetics are so (thanks mom and dad) that I have naturally high cholesterol and risk becoming diabetic, as well as having a risk for developing Polycystic ovarian, something or other…ie, makes baby making more difficult. This summer we have been looking into foster care and or adoption. We debate out of the country, vs within the USA. There are so many factors at play here and we are just sort of clueless of what to do, where to start, what our options are financially as well as things that may limit us do to our sexual orientation. It’s all so frustrating considering that we have so much love, life and laughter to share…all things we know would be so much more meaningful and fun if we shared it with a child or children. So, updating is hard to do when you are discouraged and feel like there is no good news to report.God, I hope Novembers election goes our way…vote NO Wisconsin.
