Sinking into Sweet Uncertainty

First of all, let me tell you this quick story before I get going!
On Saturday Joel and I were on a mission to find a tea carrying travel mug along with some tea holders. I had looked the day before all over the place (in at least 5 different spots) I had seen one at Peet's Coffee which is where we went back and got our purchase. While we were there buying our goodies, someone had ordered a drink incorrectly. The barista asked if anyone wanted a vanilla freddo. We said sure not knowing what it was... HEAVEN is what it was... it was so light and sweet and refreshing. It had a little bit of coffee chips in it. DELICIOUS! I have found a new favorite. It also is better (nutritionally) then a Java Chip Frappaccino (a guilty pleasure)

Babies are springing up around us. Our friends Gabe and Dana just had a beautiful baby girl Brinley Rae. She is the cutest baby!! I can't wait to meet her! Dana was a rockstar pushing out a 10 pound baby with NO drugs, completely natural! I'm so proud of her!!
Carol and Shawn are pregnant, as is Anita. Baby girls are popping up all over church. The day I found out Brinley had arrived, Carol texted me to say that she was pregnant with #2! :) I am so excited and happy for my friends!! I would be lying to say that I can't hear my biological clock DING DONGING in my head... While Joel and I aren't charting or trying specifically to have a baby, I can't help but wonder when it will be our turn. My mind wonders and I find myself fretting over thoughts of what if's... What if we can't have a baby? What if this isn't our timing? What if I become an old mom... So many questions pop into my head... Waiting for a period each month comes with excitement/nervousness/ and lately disapointment. I was really hoping we were pregnant at Christmas due to no period for 2 months... after 5 negative pregnancy tests and a trip to the doctor, it was confirmed no baby... I was put on progesteron to start my period... i was a little disapointed but glad to be put on to something that would restart my system...
Who knows, maybe this will be the month... maybe it wont be until next year... we will keep waiting and moving forward in life :)
