Remember the box of hope? 

I opened it yesterday and looked inside.  I left it in the basement though because our upstairs is such a mess, I didn't want to add to the clutter!

But it was, it is, beautiful.  I brought the chocolate blue bunny upstairs and the brown bear Joel bought the night before our first IUI at Mayo. 

I sit swimming in overwhelmingness.  I sit pouring over pregnancy journals from my sweet sister Elizabeth, and babycenter.com that is going to send me updates about our baby (or babies, we did implant 2 embryos!), and the ELCA "my healthy baby" program site.  I try to take it all in.

I dream, and I remind myself I can put the dreams into action...

I sit in awe.  I offer praise and thanksgiving to our Jesus.

All these things are wrapped into this day and all the next days to come.

Monday we go back to Havre for more blood work to check the pregnancy hormone level and my thyroid level...Dr. Shomento said she will have to adjust my meds for that.

The end of the month, sometime, stay tuned, we will have an ultra sound in Bozeman.  Then, depending on how many miracles we have, Dr. Shomento will set us up with a specialist in Great Falls.  Or we can see someone in Havre if we end up not needing a specialist.

In the meantime, Dr. Shomento will send a happy note to our Mayo Dr.'s...friends of hers, letting them in on the miracle!

We celebrate Easter tomorrow, new life, new hope!
