M.I.A.

I know I've been missing in action these last few weeks. I'm sure I have about 2 readers left, probably both of them my parents...

Things have been so crazy here these last few weeks. I started work in Granbury for the school district. The work has been much greater than I anticipated and I've already had to add a 1/2 day to my already 2 day schedule to get the work finished. My parents, grandmother, uncle, girlfriend and new baby all came to visit a couple of weeks ago. I love it when my parents come into town and I loved it even more that my Nanny got to come and I got to hold and hang out with my sweet precious new cousin, Tressie.

Brian's grandad has been very sick and in the hospital for the last couple of weeks as well. They finally figured out what was wrong with him. After treating him for heartburn, gallbladder and stomach issues, it was a hernia behind his heart. After a six hour surgery, he has been able to come home and is resting. I've talked with him a lot and he seems to be doing so much better, though the recovery is still going to be tough.

I've started my second month of Clomid. Today I had an appointment with the doctor and it looks like the Clomid did it's job this month. And they are adding a shot of HCG tomorrow to induce ovulation. I totally love my new doctor and her nurses. They are considerate and sensitive. I feel so blessed to be under their care.

I've also started training for the Cowtown 5k. I run every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, then swim at the Y Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. It has been so pretty lately, I've enjoyed being out in the sun and the warm weather with my dogs and my hubby. It has also been such a blessing to get to do this with Brian. I'm super nervous about Saturday, but I know, even if I walk the whole thing, I can do it.

I appreciate all of you who still check periodically to see if anything is up with the Tindells! I'll keep you posted on how my run goes on Saturday..aaagghhh!!!

Adoption Watch 2009

Thursday night I received a call from the adoption counselor of our birth mother. She said that earlier this week, she went into labor and had the baby. She did not however, give the baby to the other family who was interested. The mother ended up giving the baby to a friend of hers. So, that's the end to this exhausting process. Brian and I feel okay about the outcome, though we are just praying God's grace over this little baby and the life that he/she will lead, the family that he/she will have and for protection over her. Thank you so much for all of your thoughts and prayers throughout this whole month. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. Please also continue to pray for us, as we are almost through our first month of treatment.
