Today was my first full day at home during the week. I was able to make beef stew in the crock pot for dinner this evening, got the laundry done, the bathrooms and the kitchen cleaned, and decluttered my desk here at home. I'll finish up vacuum and dusting Monday. I'm glad to break up the cleaning. I ran more of the errands for our household this last week (bank, grocery store, pharmacy). My sphere of people I relate to in a given day has definitely shrunk. There is definitely a slower pace and I feel less stress.
Today I also went to the clinic to get a baseline sonogram and to start the clomid. One dose starting this evening through Tuesday since a new cycle started Wednesday. Then I go back to the clinic next Friday morning to follow up. Then the ovulation tests and the IUI if all goes well. It's still so surreal that we are doing this. One of the deterrents I remember my parents telling us to wait for marriage as kids, is that it only takes once. I always believed that... Only side effect I feel right now is bloated.

Thank you so much for giving me the link to your blog! I really appreciate you sharing this part of your lives with us - we keep you in our prayers.
Just as a side note - you probably already know this, but one of your links under 'blogs I visit' is to the McCall family... that is Ben's sister Jordan that we talk about every week in small group. Small world!
Hi Sarah, glad you had a chance to visit. I didn't know that was your sister in law. I got in to her story through the McCord's link. Either way, we've been praying for Jordan. I didn't put the two together. It is a small world! We're praying for you too :-)
