Wanting a child for us goes way beyond just feeling baby hungry. I want those moments with a new born baby, don't get me wrong, but I also want to see a child grow up, I crave to take them back to school shopping. ( Hey, I love to shop.) I want to help them to learn to ride a bike, hold them when they scrape their knee for the first time, and I can't wait to take pictures of my son or daughters first prom, or cheer for them at their first sporting event. Sometimes being infertile just hurts, and there's a million reasons why. So please cherish the small and big moments you have with your children, even if they are driving you crazy, because believe it or not I will be soooo excited to be able to say that one day. And when that day comes you can remind me that this is what I wished for! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; ">So to take my mind off of things I thought I would do everything that my friends /relatives wish they could have done today, if they didn't have kids. I slept in, yep I got a full 8 hours of sleep, jealous yet? I went running, can't do that while you are prego or if you have kids at home. I also got caught up on my blog, it's been seriously neglected this summer. (Partly because I'd rather be outside then sitting by a computer inside.) Then I did some digital scrap booking while watching one of my favorite shows, One Tree Hill. (Beware there are some spoilers coming). I love this show because I can totally relate to one of the characters Brooke Davis. I cried the episode she told her boyfriend she will never have kids, then cried again as she watched her friends around her get pregnant, while being happy for them she secretly kept her struggle inside. Then there is the heart breaking episode where they come so close to adopting a baby, only to have the birth mother change her mind at the hospital. Kind of depressing huh? I should have stopped watching, haha. You can see why Tyler doesn't watch this show with me. It gets better I promise. Eventually she gets her miracle, she becomes pregnant with twins. She delivers, they take them home and her and her husband are super tired, days without sleep between the twins, trying to find the balance of family life, work, and time with each other. After all of that her character makes the comment that this is her dream, this is all she's ever wished for and she wouldn't trade it for anything, not even a full eight hours of sleep. It's silly that a tv show could remind me that our dream is worth fighting for, but it did. And on a day that I really needed a push to not give up and to not be discouraged. Someday we will have our family, whether its through adoption, or fertility treatments, we will have a family. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; ">" A new baby is like the beginning of all things, wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities."- Eda J.

It's been a long road, and we've hit quite a few bumps a long the way. One of my teammates from the Ragnar has also struggled with infertility. She suggested we check out Pound the Pavement for Parenthood. They are an organization that organize 5k races for couples who are trying to come up with the financial means to adopt or do IVF. (Invitrofertilization) um, what an awesome idea! I looked into it a little more and we signed up for their next race. It was in Ogden Utah. The money for registration goes towards the "sponsor" couple, but the great thing is several doctors got together and donated a free round of IVF and a couple cycles at half off. That is a HUGE deal. IVF is not cheap, we are talking anywhere from 10-20 thousand dollars not cheap. (Too bad we learned that by paying for it a few times already.) We decided to enter the race and cross our fingers we won the drawing. We had some family and friends come down to Utah to help us out by putting our name in the drawing when they registered. The cool part was that they offered not only the 5k but a one mile fun run for people who wanted to walk and the kids. Unfortunately we did not win the drawing. But I would do it again in a heart beat, even knowing we wouldn't win. It was awesome to see the group of people that were there, supporting friends, coworkers or family. Sometimes it's easy to feel alone when you are struggling with infertility. How hard is it to make a baby right? (Pretty dang hard for some of us.) And it's awkward to talk to someone who is struggling when you don't know what to say. During the race I was reminded of how many people do struggle with this and it was good to know I'm not alone. We are so lucky to have friends and family gunning for us. We love and thank all of you, whether you could come to the race today or not. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimBUdbCzqLZ8mYWCT7cqwSf0EKToxzS9GXQn5UL1Rf9cEjwh-4oRAzYx4lj7t6Jn55ul042LYbWn9ToMFiqV6YOztolUFbywUIOOXT6_KTeR24W-rmR3g5aq21l7F8vp3dyvkmwlo3a8g/s640/blogger-image--1689751353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimBUdbCzqLZ8mYWCT7cqwSf0EKToxzS9GXQn5UL1Rf9cEjwh-4oRAzYx4lj7t6Jn55ul042LYbWn9ToMFiqV6YOztolUFbywUIOOXT6_KTeR24W-rmR3g5aq21l7F8vp3dyvkmwlo3a8g/s640/blogger-image--1689751353.jpg"></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br><div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; clear: both; "><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimBUdbCzqLZ8mYWCT7cqwSf0EKToxzS9GXQn5UL1Rf9cEjwh-4oRAzYx4lj7t6Jn55ul042LYbWn9ToMFiqV6YOztolUFbywUIOOXT6_KTeR24W-rmR3g5aq21l7F8vp3dyvkmwlo3a8g/s640/blogger-image--1689751353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwP7kx3eaD04rS-CiQhIqM6qhJTsSJ9Vm_uzfxxr4j8ZnuuMKzqemxH3O7KscMFQ5Y5kF2kIOmCZQAjn2NW94E2tFEgoL5Jvl9sOkGI8aNmdCA5-PTnSRRmu13o6IS0g1FLppROol1BEM/s640/blogger-image-1334287964.jpg"></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; clear: both; "><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlAM8Pu0Od1sptOL2SVnxK9_gXhWRKO29dYZFZc77zps3l9S6qkOrwaZyZMtdWbFQ5F_4yyvQtcsmt_W826HV9kZP7DJO9vMsJlSuo5PW8Hkm5hM0HO3xKdJjkd80A-xFnrpIDiErG6WU/s640/blogger-image-495445527.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlAM8Pu0Od1sptOL2SVnxK9_gXhWRKO29dYZFZc77zps3l9S6qkOrwaZyZMtdWbFQ5F_4yyvQtcsmt_W826HV9kZP7DJO9vMsJlSuo5PW8Hkm5hM0HO3xKdJjkd80A-xFnrpIDiErG6WU/s640/blogger-image-495445527.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> Me and the cutest pregnant person ever!

It's two hundred miles of running, laughing, driving, eating, maybe some crying and definitely no sleep! This is the first year Tyler and I have ever done this, and we were on different teams! Tyler's team was made up of our friends from Utah. They are incredible and good, they live to do ragnar each year. My team was a complete surprise :) I only knew one girl on the team of 12 runners. After the race I came home with 5 new friends! Some of you still might be confused, that's ok. It all sounded a little crazy to me too at first. You get a team of 12 runners, 6 people in each van. We started in Logan and someone from our team was running at all times, until we reached Park City. Each runner runs a total of 3 legs, some runners running a total of over 20 miles. There is lots of cheering, crazy decorate vans, people in weird outfits and people of all shapes and sizes running along the side of the road. By the time the race is over all you want to do is shower and crash! That's exactly what we did. The next morning we stretched our muscles by walking around beautiful Park City, Utah. Despite the sore muscles and lack of sleep, we just might be crazy enough to run it again next year.<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCygVFn8g66RjkCb0_E_BRFEXmUfy3eGiUiYBVI5xhtH_2YgYJQ6fS76omJbjpWiPEVRUM5NQ9hBtP3_rOwDG-4sS_0XFK8mNpZVcgfbEY8e04foze94RjG4eFbuJqINS2XOLK6N24Gmo/s640/blogger-image--2052654832.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCygVFn8g66RjkCb0_E_BRFEXmUfy3eGiUiYBVI5xhtH_2YgYJQ6fS76omJbjpWiPEVRUM5NQ9hBtP3_rOwDG-4sS_0XFK8mNpZVcgfbEY8e04foze94RjG4eFbuJqINS2XOLK6N24Gmo/s640/blogger-image--2052654832.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We decorated our "van" with our teams theme, "Defying Gravity".

I wish we had winter for 3 months and summer for 9! Summer is always filled with so many activities and this summer is no exception. <br>
We attended my 10 year High school reunion and had a great time. Planning this was a lot of work, but I had fun with a group of girls I haven't seen for a long time. It was sad to have it over with cause now we have no really good reason to chat daily. <br>
Fourth of July is one of the best holidays, we usually attend the parade, go boating, and watch the fireworks on the lake. This year we celebrated it differently, VEGAS style! We spent our days by the pool, shopping in the afternoon, and a 360 degree view of fireworks from our hotel rooftop! We even got suckered in to paying some guy to take our picture by the Vegas sign. My favorite part of the trip was going to the Criss Angel show at the Luxor. He is a very talented magician/illusionist and Tyler got us 4th row seats! At one pointing in the show he disappeared and reappeared right next to us, I could have touched him! We made eye contact! (Totally sounding like a teenager right now, sorry). The weekend was great, amazing weather, tasty food and good company! We were happy my brother and his wife came too<br>
July wouldn't be complete without my family reunion at Bear Lake. Beside getting a hole in our air mattress, Tyler getting stung by a bee, and not packing pillows, sleeping in a tent for the weekend was great! My cousin J puts a lot of effort to make sure we have plenty to eat and do! And it wouldn't be a reunion without some Dutch oven by my dad! Plus a day at the lake can cure any work blues! This year we took my niece with us and it was fun to pretend we had our own "kid" to keep track of. Lucky for us she's very well behaved and my other niece was there to keep her entertained. (Pictures of this to come soon, I haven't had a chance to download them yet.) <div>Here are a few pics of what we have been up to! </div><div><br><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQKyNU5VQBYJqjGwRBK01ddwFiwV44zXY0tqL1ZL3IHQaxShERSLzcE8T1Wk_x5jZ7BNmMZ0NddJgmg1BBHR4GM5f4IlQffmNa-8uJI8FgZL0Nu6bipzP5dXXFfcY7f84dz6EAUt8KAOU/s640/blogger-image-1454838777.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQKyNU5VQBYJqjGwRBK01ddwFiwV44zXY0tqL1ZL3IHQaxShERSLzcE8T1Wk_x5jZ7BNmMZ0NddJgmg1BBHR4GM5f4IlQffmNa-8uJI8FgZL0Nu6bipzP5dXXFfcY7f84dz6EAUt8KAOU/s640/blogger-image-1454838777.jpg"></a></div> </div></div><div>Crazy how I have to stand all the way up on my tip toes! </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2GkX0kaH58YkZyP9qOay4Q1WC5K53cSHA-YMfhZ-3WKJoUdL45kFJeOzZetfhFs61B6qUCUUDpMbqKrptJNyeL-0KTe9EJvvT0IuMwtqOAe3Fo19IWaWvzDu9NA6PLqYQ1NOfOUPIqeE/s640/blogger-image-1938235024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2GkX0kaH58YkZyP9qOay4Q1WC5K53cSHA-YMfhZ-3WKJoUdL45kFJeOzZetfhFs61B6qUCUUDpMbqKrptJNyeL-0KTe9EJvvT0IuMwtqOAe3Fo19IWaWvzDu9NA6PLqYQ1NOfOUPIqeE/s640/blogger-image-1938235024.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAp8QAxu6YdPMsEG-HpZRk33sU7EsDVWvalxIX9VpV1sTMg2TD6loz7q8qJ_nUzwSZNCsNP_FHHmBGe0ZBJvttkn-Jm35PJJWoaEp6RA4JXY8LDIHGHKpiXeO0jzj39K_dIDiuyF2IaGc/s640/blogger-image--1670411177.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAp8QAxu6YdPMsEG-HpZRk33sU7EsDVWvalxIX9VpV1sTMg2TD6loz7q8qJ_nUzwSZNCsNP_FHHmBGe0ZBJvttkn-Jm35PJJWoaEp6RA4JXY8LDIHGHKpiXeO0jzj39K_dIDiuyF2IaGc/s640/blogger-image--1670411177.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Class of 2003!

Tyler's whole family stayed in the cabin for the weekend. We had a great time hanging out with our nephews riding four wheelers, fishing, playing, and roasting march mellows by the fire. It can get a little noisy with so many boys but we wouldn't trade them for anything! It's so fun to watch them grow into their own personalities. It's crazy how smart they are for such young ages! Here are some pics of the highlights of the weekend.<br />

We recently took a vacation to visit some friends of ours that live in Florida. It was AWESOME! We spent our days waking up and running in the beautiful weather, spending all afternoon at the beach, or pool and at night we got to eat at some pretty cool restaurants. Oh and did I mention that the best part was that I got to hang out with one of my favorite people everyday? (Besides Tyler). The week went by way too fast. When the weekend came we drove to New Orleans. On our way we stopped at a gator farm and we got to see alligators and ride an air boat! Lots of new firsts this trip for us. New Orleans (NOLA), was great, I loved the architecture and culture. The market was fun to walk around and we took a history tour around town and in one of the cemeteries. Our tour guide was less than great, his water was spiked with something a little bit strong for early afternoon, but it provided us with some extra free entertainment. The food was also amazing. Sadly every vacation has to end. We drove to Mobile Alabama where our flight was schedule to leave from. Luckily on the way we stopped in Biloxi Mississippi where my cousin lives with his cute family. We were able to spend some time with them which was awesome, I hadn't seen them in years! We flew home the next day and said goodbye to our friends and the beach. Hopefully we will get to visit again soon! Here is a few pics from the trip. <br />

I really hesitated about starting one, we are pretty private people, I wasn't into reading other people's and I didn't see how posting about our life was going to get us any closer to starting our family. But with social media changing our life's and people becoming more high tech I can see the sense behind the theory. With that in mind I've decided to add another section to my blog. I want to have a section dedicated to infertility. We have meet so many amazing couples, through our struggles. And sometimes the only way I got through a hard day was calling or texting a friend who knew exactly what I was going through. My plan, (hopefully this will work), is to not only share my story but get some of my close friends, and new friends, to share theirs. I think writing can be therapeutic and sharing your story can release a burden you may not have known you were carrying. And to lighten the mood I hope to include the stuff we can laugh at. Because when you are living in the moment sometimes its laugh or cry and I usually choose to laugh. So if you want to be included in this venture, message or email me your experience. If you want to remain anonymous to protect the innocent, haha, I won't tell anyone where the origin of the stories come from. :). tyler_jessica11@yahoo.com <br />
<br />
I don't remember where I found this, probably Facebook or Pinterest, but it describes exactly how me and Tyler feel. It's hard to give up, so that's why we continue to hope. <br />

Or maybe if you know someone who is struggling and you are too scared to ask about it or don't know how to help. I also find it ironic that they place "infertility week" during the time that stores and commercials are starting to get people excited about Mothers Day. So please take some time to read and then go give your friend that's struggling a great big hug or send her a note on Mothers Day! It can be the hardest time of the year for someone who wants to be a mother so badly and can't. I personally know some amazing, strong women who have or are experience fertility problems and I want them to know that this post if for you! Tyler and I have had great support as we have gone through our struggles and it makes a huge difference knowing there are people rooting for you. Thank you! <br />

My ten year class reunion is happening in June. Am I old enough to be graduated for 10 years? I don't feel like it, but I guess it's true. It has been fun to get together with girls I graduated with and plan this reunion. I've had a bit of nostalgia lately and I truly do miss the high school days. But no matter how much I miss it, I wouldn't go back and repeat anything! I'm sure I'll have to post an update on all the fun. :)<br />

In honor of St. Patrick's day I thought I'd share a little bit of Ireland! Tyler served a full time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Ireland. We had the chance to travel back there in 2006 and visit some of the places he served. It was a once in a lifetime trip! It was beautiful, the culture was so different and the food was pretty good. We had a great time, with a few hiccups along the way that made the trip unforgettable. The first night we were in Irelane we traveled north to Belfast. <br />

It was right around Christmas time and they had a huge "Christmas around the world" market in the square. Delicious food from surrounding countries lined up booth after booth, hand made ornaments, christmas decorations and knick knacks. We had just one small problem. No money! We had been traveling for 24 hours, made a hotel switch last minute, (cause there was no way me and Tyler were going to sleep on a futon), walked around carrying our luggage in the rain, and then we found out no business excepted travelers checks. Our bank gave us some bad information. No one would except American money or take a credit/debit card either. No problem right? Just use an ATM. If I only knew my pin number for my credit card. Neither one of us had ever used an ATM before. Good thing my father in law was there to save the day. After multiple attempts at several different cards he finally guessed a pin number that worked! Yeah, we wouldn't starve after all! We had a great night sampling the different foods. My favorite was a strawberry tart from France. The rest of the trip went smoothly. We did have a few problems with a couple places I booked for us online, but we made the best of it. And the scenery totally made up for having to travel further than we had figured on. We drove all the way from the North to the Southern tip of Ireland. Tyler served around the whole island so everywhere we went he was able to show a thing or two about that area. <br />

One of the highlights of the trip was meeting the family Tyler had baptized on his mission. Pauline was pregnant and about the time Tyler came home she had had her baby. They name him after Tyler. Someday we hope to go back again. </div>

To finish my post I just have to give a shout out to the cutest Grandpa in the world. We just celebrated his 97th birthday. Up until a few months ago he was completely independent. He walked to the post office and grocery store everyday. He's been an amazing example to me and I admire his strenght. I love this candid photo of him walking with my nephew. Love you grandpa! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>A lot
has happened since last Valentine’s Day. Last year on Valentine’s Day we woke
up early and started heading to Boise for my appointment. After weeks of
getting IM (intramuscular) hormone injections it was time to do invitro again. My sister in law
and her two kids traveled with us, mainly to keep Tyler company while I was on
bed rest. We were optimistic that this time would work; it was Valentine’s Day
after all! About the time we had past Pocatello I received a phone call from my
doctor, which was unusual because I usually talked to the nurses. She had some
bad news, while unfreezing our frozen embryos we only had one survive the
process and to make it even worse the embryo that survived was not our best egg.
She advised that we bag it. (She said it in a more doctor like manner of course.)
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I talked her into implanting it anyway,
we were already on our way and I had not just gotten IM injections for the last
month two to three times a day for nothing! Needless to say my hormones were
doing the talking. I got off the phone told Tyler what was happening and
started to cry. Thank goodness for Tyler, he cheered me right up and reminded
me that we were only suppose to think happy thoughts this round! So after my
personal cheerleader changed the mood we started to call our little egg “Nemo”,
and decided that it was going to be ok after all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went to the appointment, everything went
great and then I spent the evening in a medicated haze while Tyler took his
sister out for the evening. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We stayed
with my brother in laws mom and she treated us like family the second we walked
in the door. I was treated like a princess and basically didn’t have to do one
thing for myself. We had a great week getting to know them and building
memories that we will always remember, thank you so much “D” and “D”.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>As you
have probably guessed by now, invitro, once again, did not work for us. We
don’t regret giving it a try, we learned a lot about each other. (Although it
would be nice to have our money back.) Not many people knew we were trying
invitro, just our friends and family. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was something we did in private, this is the first time I have talked about it
publicly, and even now I’m having second thoughts whether to share this on our
very public blog.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully it will show
how ready and willing we are to start our family through adoption. And not just
because nothing else has worked, but because we realized how important having family
is. We would not have made it through the last year without our friends and
families support. From the encouraging words, to prayers, to being willing to
give me a shot in the butt! Yes, you heard right, it is extremely hard, but not
impossible, to give yourself an IM injection in your gluteus maximus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Good thing I’m a nurse and worked with plenty
of people who already had the right skills. Nurse “A” gave me my first one, she
is super nice and doesn’t like to hurt anybody so when I handed her the honey
like substance in a syringe with an 18 gauge needle I thought she might back
out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And my brave sister in law was
taught by my friend “C” to give me the shots in the evening. I tried to teach
Tyler, but it didn’t go well. He has many skills but giving shots is not one of
them, he does not like needles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>;) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>If we
have learned anything the past year it is that there is no limit to the amount
of love that our hearts can hold, family is not determined by blood alone, and
to cherish every day we have. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> We know </span>there is a special mother and child out there that is waiting to
become part of our family. We will continue to wait patiently for you to come
into our lives at the right time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

</span>for dessert.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(A shake with a
piece of pie mixed in, they are yummy, this is the second time we have gottent one,
I’m sure they aren’t healthy for you.) We were in for a surprise, free

before, it was a unique experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
had a great night and we hope you did too!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I've
had a lot of questions about how the adoption process works. How people “find”
you. It's not like it was in the olden days where the mother would place her
baby for adoption, the agency would determine what couple/family would receive
this baby, and the mother would never see or hear about the child ever again.
Now there are profiles listed on websites, a lot of profiles, and the birth
mother/father can browse through profiles of couples/families and decide
which couples they would like to get to know better. Once they have chosen a
couple they can contact the couple through whatever agency listed their profile
or they can contact them directly. Some like to email questions back and forth,
others meet face to face. With the help of technology and social websites others
go through facebook or Skype. The "meeting" can be affected by
geography or the level of involvement that the birth mother is comfortable
with. So once you're profile is posted you could get news at any time! It can
be nerve wracking waiting for an email or phone call. It can consume your every
thought and action. I remember the week our profile got published. I think I checked
our email at least 10 times a day, haha. Obsessed? Yes I was! Or as I like to tell
myself I was just really, really, excited. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We
have had the experience of meeting face to face with a birth mother and father.
I won’t get into too much detail out of respect for their privacy, but I will
say I was super nervous. Until Tyler gently reminded me, "She's probably
twice as scared as we are." I put myself in her shoes and thought; yeah I
would be scared out of my mind! I'd probably break out in hives or puke, which are
two things that frequently happen to me when I get really nervous. (Nursing
boards- story for a different day.) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Good
thing Tyler is around to remain calm, cool and collected. We received a phone call from our case worker, he said there were birth parents who wanted to meet in the next day or two. A few text messages later my shift was covered and Tyler was able to rearrange his appointments. That's the beauty of adoption, you never know when you are going to be contacted. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The meeting ended up
going well. It was an awkward first few minutes, but then ice breakers melted
and we had an easy conversation. We are glad it happened, even if it didn't
end in placement. Every experience teaches us something and prepares us for the
next. We have had our first face to face, things went good and now I won't be
as nervous next time. We have also been contacted through email. It's crazy how
you find yourself second guessing all of your responses. After I had emailed a
particular birth mother back for the first time, I reread what I wrote and questioned the way I had answered. "What if she thinks this is dumb? Or should I have written
it this way? Man I sounded like a cheese ball in that sentence." And the
list went on, Tyler could add to it as well. Ultimately I know you have to be yourself. There is no use
pretending to be who you are not. The goal is for the birth parents to find a
couple/family that will be the best fit for the child they are placing for
adoption. If what we are isn’t what they are looking for, it’s ok because there
is a different child out there. Which is way easier to say (or type) than in
real life. Way easier. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Going
through this process has been hard. Anyone who has gone through either side of
an adoption will tell you that and could explain it way better than me I’m sure.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People are judging you! I mean
literally; they are investigating if you are the parents they are looking for. Not
only will they know the good stuff about you, they will probably pick up on
your flaws too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can sympathize a
little with celebrities, having your life examined and investigated. Hahaha
just kidding, but it does make me feel a little better about having our
information out there for anybody to look at. I understand why it has to be this
way, and we are ok with it, it just took some getting use to. I think even worse
than having your life on display is the waiting and the wondering. Did they
choose a different couple after they contacted us or did they decide not to place their baby for adoption? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> We will </span>always wonder how things
turned out for them (the people we have had brief contact with) and if everything
turned out ok, we pray that it does. So for now we will continue to wait and hope it will be worth it in the end.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> I hope that this helps people understand how this part of adoption works. I know our families have had a lot of questions and maybe don't know what to say or how to help cause they don't know what is going on. Don't worry, half the time we don't know what's going on either. :) When we made the decision to start our famliy through adoption we were beginning this blind. I hope that others can learn from our mistakes/experienes and their journey will be a little less bumpy! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Wow the holidays came and went so fast. I blinked and
November and December were over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had
an awesome holiday season and we hope you did too! Here is a look at what we
were up to!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For Thanksgiving we did something completely different. We took my family, (minus a sibling) to Mesquite. It was a nice warm get away. We played by the pool, went shopping and enjoyed the warmer weather. Thanksgiving night we went to a casino and ate at the all you can eat buffet. The best part about it was no cleaning up!! The food really wasn’t as good as home made. We worked up our appetites by exploring a place called Whitney Pockets. It took over an hour and half to get there on dirt roads, but in the end it ended up being fun. </span></div>

This year the oldest nephew got to go, he really wanted to ride with me, until he saw me get stuck.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then he was content to ride with his dad or Grandpa. He really enjoyed teasing me.</div>

I added this one just because I could! Tyler owed this to Cortney. Now if we could only get him to wear it all the way to Florida, we'd get his plane ticket paid for! </div>

We are both thankful for the great year. It had it's ups and downs but we have a great family and wonderful friends that helped us through! Wishing all of you a Happy New Year!</div>

October was an awesome month, and why wouldn't it be? People pass out candy, play tricks on eachother and get to dress up in costume! Not to mention the haunted straw mazes, houses and scary movies! If you can't tell Halloween is a big deal at our house. The best part of Halloween is the party we throw every year for the past 4 years. It's an open invitation to anyone who wants to come eat good food, dress up and play games. It's been fun to see our friends and family get more and more creative and out going each year with their costumes and I love watching people come out of their shell during game time. Here is some pictures from this years Halloween party. (If you are pictured and want me to take it off the blog, no problem just let me know and I can delete it off the post. Thanks everybody for letting me share your awesome costumes!) <br />

I got the email from our case worker last Thursday. I was pretty excited so I texted family and friends only to get a reply back from my sister Josie that said "What is that?" (Sorry to point you out sis, but if it makes you feel better you weren't the only one who wondered what the heck I was talking about.) So I figured I would take the time to explain how it works and why we were so excited. For the past few months we have been filling out paperwork, answering questionairies, attending classes and picking out pictures that hopefully show people a little more about us. We had to get interviwed, fingerprinted, have a background check completed and our home was inspected for safety. At the end of all this work our profile was reviewed and approved then published! Once your profile is published anyone can see your information on itsaboutlove.org. This website is a resource for young women and men to look at potential couples/families to place their child with. The agency encourages you to tell everyone you know that you are adopting. The best way to get connected is to network. It took awhile to get use to the idea of broadcasting to everyone that we are adopting. It was a hard thing to put ourselves out there in public because we are pretty private people. We kindof struggled through the whole infertility thing without a lot of people knowing what we were going through. But as we talk about our decision the more people we get to know and meet. We've developed so many new friendships along the way, some that wouldn't have happened had we not made the decision to adopt. <br />
I've been asked by many people, "What's the timeline? How long does it take?" There isn't an easy answer to that question. It takes as long as it takes for someone to feel like you guys are the couple that they have been looking for. I've also had people say, "Have you gone online to check out your competition?" (Most are joking when they say it, but kind of curious to know your answer too.) It's hard to read through other couple's profiles and think of them as "competition". I sat and read through every person in Idaho's profile one night while Tyler was out of town. It humbled me to read other people's stories and relate to some of the heartache that they have gone through, and it made me feel connected to them, even though I've never met most of them. There are amazing people out there waiting and hoping to adopt a child, any child would be blessed to enter their homes. Of course we want to be contacted soon and adopt a child we can call our own, but anytime we here of another couple who has successfully adopted a child it warms our heart because we understand how much they want a family of their own. We believe the right child will come to us and fulfill our dreams of starting family. Sorry this was a longer explanation than I planned, but hopefully it will answer some of the questions people are wondering, and of course we will keep you posted on any news we get! Have a great day and enjoy the new fall weather! Love, Jessica <br />

<br />
Yesterday Tyler and I had the chance to go to our first Families Supporting
Adoption conference. It was an incredible day where we both got to learn some
amazing things from people who are adoptive parents as well as birth parents.
Going in to this adoption experience neither one of us had ever really stopped
to consider all of the emotions that come into play. Yes we both realized
things would get emotional and that there would be ups and downs through the
whole process of adoption. It wasn’t until we got to hear the "whole
story" during a panel discussion did we consider the emotions of everyone
else involved. They had birthparents, a birth grandma, the adoptive couple and
the adopted grandparents. The birthfathers family was there too, and although they
weren’t on the panel they shared a few stories too. It humbled me to know that
one child could be the center of so many people’s love. Every person on that
panel wanted what was best for the child and that common goal they shared
allowed them to develop relationships with one another. It obviously wasn’t
easy for any of them to go through the adoption and share their personal story
but I am grateful for the courage they showed by sharing their thoughts and
feelings. The second panel was made up of birth mothers, and a birth father. Hearing
what they had to say warmed our hearts and made us both believers that open
adoption is a wonderful thing, for the child, for the birthparents and for the
adoptive couple. We are both so glad we attended this conference, it helped
ease some of the fears and apprehensions we have had about adoption. It makes
us more excited for our profile to be published and for the moment when we can
meet potential birth parents. It should be published within a week or so! <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span>
We hope you all had a wonderful weekend too!<br />

We are starting a blog! Yeah! Tyler and I have decided to adopt and we needed a place to spread the awesome news. So coming in a short time will be a blog about us. Once I figure out how all of this blogging stuff works that is. I have many talents, but I've recently found blogging is not one of them! Haha.
