Spreading the word for Jen!

"Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts." For me Jen did just this. We met 6 years ago when I started working at a hospital on their trauma unit. She was one of my trainers and took me under her wing.

When I delivered my little lady bug, Jen took time out of her day to stop by and see how we were doing. What she never knew was how much those 5 minutes made a difference to me.

Soon after I learned of their struggle to conceive and finally their choice to adopt. Two years ago they were given the approval to adopt and since they've been waiting patiently to meet their little one.

Check out the adorable nursery they have waiting!! 

If there is any one out there who deserves to be a mom it's Jen!!!  Please take the time to share her info.  Even if you don't know any one looking,  some one you know might. Just head on over and check out there blog Here and if you are looking for parents for your little one check out their letter to the birth parents Here.

Thank you to those who take the time to share and a special thanks to Jen for being a true friend.

News from this blogger...

I want to start this story with the crazy beginning that started about 5 weeks ago. I began to gain my Hypothyroid symptoms back fairly quickly. It started with being completely worn out! And not the typical toddler chasing tired. But the can't keep my eyes open even after a full nights sleep, tired. It didn't stop there, I got my goiter back. Started feeling like I was going to pass out. I was shaky and spacey. I hate that all the sudden all of this came back and was getting worse by the day. 

Not only did all these symptoms come back. But I went and saw my first military doctor. He literally stood by his desk through the whole appointment. He asked why I was there. I told him I wanted to have my thyroid checked and maybe my vitamin levels sense I was so tired all the time. He stood there typed on his computer and told me to go to lab. That was it?! He wasn't going to look me over or ask me more questions?! So frustrated I got my blood work and left.

5 weeks after my symptoms started and he didn't get back with me(1 week later) we set up an appointment. I came in and all he had to say was your on the high range of normal but still normal so I cant do anything for you. Frustrated I explained how my morning went that day….

            But let me take you back to 8 days before that. Brian’s co-worker/friend took our family pictures….

 

Just missing our oldest son(in Montana with his mom)

 and all she wanted was us to bring a sd card not thinking I just gave her the one out of my phone. She hit format and I lost all my photos. (don’t worry they were backed up on the computer only a few days before.) But the part I hated was all my apps were gone. I know I know what a teenage thing to say. But all my apps including my period tracker….

So basically my memory is shot and my thyroid makes that even worse. So I cant remember dates…. So the day before the doctor I re-downloaded the app for my phone (pink pad.)  Guess what?! Yep I was late (8 days!) I am pregnant!!! June 2015!!!

In Vitro Fertilization

Let me start this out explaining why this is the gofund me account I chose. This beautiful lady is my cousin! I know hard to believe, I could have such a good looking cousin! But alas i do. How did i miss out on those genes?! haha. Okay back on topic. No joke this is the most amazing women i can think of! I honestly couldn't begin to go through what she is. When we were kids we played games together at family reunions and she was always playing with the babies, asking to hold them, sitting next to them playing peek-a-boo. She is supposed to be this mom, she has always had that mom love for children. It hurts me to see her have to go through this. But wow she is turning into an even stronger more amazing women!!
