CAFFEINE!!!! It seems the more I try to lay off the cokes and chocolate the worse it gets! I know silly right? Wrong! This is serious people! lol So a couple of months back I was SOOOOO on the bandwagon of fertility rituals! I cut out all cokes, chocolate, fish, medications (Advil/cold med), and anything else that could interfere with becoming pregnant. But after I decided that I was letting infertility become my focus over my relationship with God I decided to lay off a little. Lay off is an understatement of what I have actually done. I quit all together! I drink nothing, NOTHING, but coke and I have to have at least one candy bar a night! This is ridiculous!!! In case you did not know caffeine is a big no no for someone trying to become pregnant. But it seems the more I try not to take in so much caffeine the more I do! I know how crazy this sounds but I seriously get the shakes, headaches, and nauseous if I don't have my caffeine! Any tips are welcome and any recommendations of local coca cola rehab centers are welcome too Lol!
So I still have not heard from the acupuncture office yet so we have decided to put off all appointments until the new year. We want to enjoy our holiday and not have to worry about making an appointment or even getting some results that may get us down. Not making it to these appointments are frustrating but it made sense to us to just wait til the new year. In reality if we did receive some devastating news I would spend my entire Christmas and New Years upset and depressed.
Me and the hubby decorated outside for Christmas over the past couple of days! Little late I know but better late than never I guess! :) We had so much fun coming up with ideas of where to put what lights and I have to say I'm pretty proud of all our hard work! But I couldn't help but catch myself from time to time thinking about how much more fun it would be with a little one. Seeing his/her little eyes light up when we cut all the lights on ( along with our musical lights :) that right our house plays music lol) Decorating the tree and making homemade personalized ornaments!!Taking pictures of the whole Christmas decorating event!! Sigh :( Even though I'm a little sad that we don't get to experience these things THIS YEAR, I'm thankful that I have my wonderful husband to experience the holiday season with! He truly is the most wonderful husband on earth!
I try to always stay positive. Things really could be worse for us. And I try to always remember that. So I'm gonna spend my holiday season thanking God for our many blessings. If you are going through any time of trial during this holiday season I wish you peace and understanding from our Savior. For those of you out there dealing with infertility through Christmas time I'm praying for you!! Smile and don't let infertility ruin your time of joy as hard as that may be!
Numbers 6:24-26"The LORD bless you and keep you;the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."
Deuteronomy 7:12-15
If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the LORD your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your forefathers. He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land that he swore to your forefathers to give you. You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor any of your livestock without young. The LORD will keep you free from every disease.
