2002-Summer on the Lake and a miracle.

We enjoyed our first summer living on Okauchee Lake.  Our 3rd Insemination attempt failed in June - and we decided to take a treatment break.   About every 6 months I would change my feelings about medical science.  Did we want to go further, or should I try harder to get to know my own body and take a more holistic approach?

In September my period came a little early - but only lasted 2 days.  That was weird.  A week later I casually thought about taking another PG test - but decided against it.  Labor Day weekend was coming, and we were having friends over.   I did not want to see another negative sign.

The next week I had to do it - take another test.  I only remember the date because it was the 1st anniversary of the Sept 11, 2001 attacks.  I woke up, took my "stick" to the bathroom, and was shocked to see a POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!

Naturally we were crazy happy - but I was still guarded.  Anyone who's lost a pregnancy knows the next milestone is to see the heartbeat.  We shared our news with family and close friends only.
