3 days.....

Today is the 3rd day that I have not had to take a painkiller. I cannot say that I have not had a slight headache at all during these past three days but it has definitely not been bad at all! I feel like the Topamax is beginning to work and I am on the mend. I actually went to the mall and to church on Sunday. It was so nice to get out of the house for things other than work. I hate to say all this and then relapse but I am grateful for the past few good days! What an answer to prayer! I know that God will sustain me through this and that everything will work out. Dr. Skinner was sooo nice and I know that if I do develop some of the horrible side effects that can come with this medicine that he will help us find the right meds for me! What a comfort to know that I am ultimately in God's mighty hands but also in the hands of good doctors. God gave that Dr. the power to heal and I know that he will heal me.

In fertility news, the Clomid 150 worked!!! I ovulated!!! We won't know if I am pregnant for another week. I doubt I am because I have been soooo sick, Im pretty sure there was very little "trying" around ovulation, if you know what I mean....BUT this was ANOTHER answer to prayer. After much discussion this weekend, Mike and I decided to take the summer off from the Clomid for me to get well and relax. I really think that Clomid may be the source of the really bad migraines. I am sad that baby making is taking a back seat but I know that it is best for my health. I believe that God has a plan for our family and will add to it when it is time.

Family News....Mike's cousin, Orlie and Cerisa Martinez welcomed a new baby girl last Wednesday. Her name is Kendell and she was adopted. I know that her parents have prayed for her for soooo long and are so blessed right now!! We can't wait to meet her! My cousin, Lauren had her baby girl today and named her Isabella. Mike's sister, Monica is also expecting her 4th baby this fall!! Our family is growing and God is good!

Mike and I wish everyone a great week.......

Oh, and 6 full and 2 half days of school left!! Im counting down.
