A game plan, new floors and baby girls!!!

Such an odd title for this post....but that is what it is all about!! LOL

We went in to see Dr. Kaufmann yesterday afternoon- we did a blood draw to make sure my HCG levels get down under 5 ( I will know what my levels are sometime today when they call me). We also had a consult with Dr. K, we needed to set out a game plan for us to see what what we are going to do next. Pretty much he is wanting us to repeat the HSG test that I had done a few months ago- since he was not sure if the pregnancy was not in my tubes (he just knew it was not in my uterus) he wants to make sure that my tubes are checked and make sure there are no blockages or anything abnormal before we start everything again.

Once I have this done then the following month we will start treatments again- I tell you, I'm really nervous going into this again. After a miscarriage, and now an ectopic pregnancy, I will probably be a wreck, but I know I will have to give it all to God and try my best to stay calm. A friend shared a passage with me back before we tested it is "Phillipians 23:20-do not be anxious about anything but by everything with prayer and petition present your requests to the Lord and the peace that transcends anyone's understanding will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus name." This always puts me at ease and a calmness comes over me after I read this. I know that God has a special plan for David and I, and I can not rush things or think I can make things happen as I know this is all in God's hands and he will bless us with a child when he sees it to be right.

I have made some calls and sent some emails out to the college here, and I go speak to a counselor on Friday so I can get a "plan" set up so I can start classes this next semester!! I think after talking it over with David that the best thing for our family is for me to pursue a career as an Elementary School Teacher. I think I would like to teach 2nd or 3rd grade!! I'm so excited to get back into school, but also scared at the same time, it has been 10 1/2 years since I have been in school....gotta get the cobwebs out of my brain that is for sure!! LOL

Last week we had the contractors out to tear up our old floor and lay the tile in the kitchen and the wood floors in the living room and 2 hallways- below are the before and after shots!! I absolutely LOVE them!! This next weekend we are going to get our new front doors- we need to be able to let some light into our living room since we don't have any front windows in there- we are getting a glass storm door for the outside then a new glass front, front door- the plan is to leave the front door open and keep the storm door closed so we can let some light in. :-)

This is the kitchen floors before:

Here is the kitchen with the new floors!! The last few are with the furniture and appliances back in-

Here is the living room before:

Until next time :-) have a Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!
