some simple 'S'

School, Students, Shots, Sonograms/Sticks, Shipping, Stirrups (I can't believe I just typed that for the world to see but this experience has made me realize that there are NO secrets when going through IVF!), Surrender (with Song)
Let's start with 'S' number 1 ~ School!
Thanking God daily for my new long term to hire (I hope) sub job! I'm enjoying being back in the classroom and I think the distractions will be great as we get back in the swing of yet another IVF treatment.
'S' number 2 is very important ~ Students!
Please pray for these little ones! They have taken over my mind and are quickly moving down to take over my heart. They need love, they need to understand why being able to read is SO important in life and we need to move mountains in the classroom in a short period of time!
Now 'S' number 3 ~ Shots!
Morning tummy shots will start tomorrow! I've pretty much gotten to be a pro at this but prayers are still VERY welcome!
'S' 4/5 ~ Sonograms/Sticks!
As you all know (because you've been through many IVF treatments with us) I get a sonogram every time I go to the dr. This is to make sure my ovaries are producing perfect follicles to make perfect babies! A HUGE PRAYER REQUEST!
The sticks go right along with the sonos. For some reason they can't get enough of my blood in that place! I have even mentioned that I watch CSI and I know that all they need is a teeny tiny amount of blood to get tons of info about me, still they take vials of it!
'S' number six is a new thing ~ Shipping!
This IVF treatment is going to have a little something special along with it. After suffering through 3 miscarriages we have decided to have a biopsy done on each fertilized egg. The cell that is biopsied will be shipped to Maryland for lots of testing. PRAYING ALL ARE HEALTHY!
Of course 'S' number 7 ~ Stirrups!
I really don't think this one needs any explaining! ;)
The best 'S' for last number 8 ~ Surrender!
SING IT WITH ME NOW.....
All to Jesus, I surrender;
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
Refrain
I surrender all, I surrender all,
All to Thee, my blessèd Savior,
I surrender all.
All to Jesus I surrender;
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken;
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
Refrain
All to Jesus, I surrender;
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.
Refrain
All to Jesus, I surrender;
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power;
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
Refrain
All to Jesus I surrender;
Now I feel the sacred flame.
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory, to His Name!
Refrain

Please keep us in your prayers as we are starting another heart tugging IVF treatment! I can't explain the hope, worry, heartache, excitement and not to mention all the hormones that are flowing through my body all at once, with that being said PLEASE pray for His love, joy, peace, patience, kindness (hormones can bring out the worst in ya;), gentleness, self control and understanding to be with us throughout the whole process! Your prayers make this so much easier for us and for that we THANK YOU!

  1. Praying for you Jessica! When I got to reading the song, I felt so emotional because of how many people sing that song and really don't know what true surrender is. I know you do. You guys are in our prayers!
