Update from blood draw yesterday, and other news

So I went in yesterday morning for another blood draw- they wanted to see my HCG levels drop 15% from our Thursday draw. When I was finally able to get a nurse to get back with me today she had told me that my levels were up in the 300's last Thursday and were down to the 130's yesterday. My mind was filled with guilt and doubt that we didn't give the pregnancy longer before we took the drastic measure to end it. I called my mom (my sounding board for a lot of things in my life) she assured me that we did the right thing and that my levels were still not as high as they would have needed to be, and to not let the devil come in and place the seed of doubt in my mind about the decision. That if God knew what we were doing was wrong that he would have put it in my heart last week to not let them do anything. I thank God everyday for my mother, with out her I don't know what I would do, this advice instantly eased my heart and my emotions about the whole situation. That we had done everything we could do to ensure that the pregnancy was not going to be viable before we took any measures to end it. With then going in with the scope looking for it in my uterus, and could not find it I knew that she was right, we had done everything, and if we didn't do something soon it was going to endanger my health and body and future babies.

We will go in next Monday the 14th for another blood draw and for a consult with Dr. Kaufmann to kind of regroup and get a game plan set out for what we are going to do next. He did say he wanted to repeat the HSG test I had done a few months ago, to check my tubes and make sure there is no damage or blockage that would hinder our next pregnancy.

In other Chancellor news: We are having our new hardwood floors and our tile floors put in this week! So s of today I have no living room or kitchen LOL, I will post pictures of the before and after shots once they are all finished, I'm so excited to have them done before the holidays since part of my side of the family (my dad and his wife and the kids) will be doing Christmas at our house this year!!

The past few years I have had the desire to go back to school- but could never decide what I wanted my major to be- I have 3 that I would like to do- social worker, teacher, NICU Nurse- with in the past few weeks I have felt God really pulling on my heart strings to start the process to get my degree. So I have started filling forms out for financial aid and whatnot- please pray that whatever it is that I'm supposed to do will be laid on my heart and help me make this decision.

This past Sunday morning we went to the Fort Worth Water Gardens with my best friend Tifanie to take some pictures- I needed some for our Christmas card that did not have us in our wedding stuff or people in the back ground things like that- I came home that evening after doing a Pampered Chef show at my sister in-law's house and did the editing on them and ordered our Christmas cards!! So excited!!! Below are some of the shots we took- I also got some great movement shots of the water- I really am having fun with the camera and editing of the photos!!

Enjoy!!!
