Hello Lent!

Well, yesterday kicked off Lent. This is my life until Easter:

This year I am giving up ALL sweets! Ugh! This is truly devotion! Last night I was wanting chocolate so badly, and I said to my husband, "but I love chocolate!" His response: "more than Jesus?" And match....

I can do it, though. I'm a pretty strong woman. Mind over matter, right? My husband gave up all fried food & soda. That's a pretty tough one for him too! We have each other to get over it!

Speaking of having each other, I love my husband... I've been having a really difficult time lately, and he has been my rock. (It's also nice that he is an attorney)... As soon as I was about to pull my hair out and cry, he would email me some statute or information to prove that I was in the "right". I love him, I love him, I love him. It is so wonderful to know that I can depend on him 100%. Today I had a small victory, and once I told him this evening, his answer was, "Don't mess with the Bradt's!" Truly, madly, and deeply in love. He is my world.

Other than that, my doctors think that they have me on the right medicine to get my body "calm" enough to get pregnant. We are discussing the option of fertility drugs. A nurse I work with pointed out that if you only ovulate 1 egg/cycle and only 20% of my eggs are viable, than why not rev up my production so that instead of 2 eggs per year being good, 10 or 12 could be? Great point! The only thing is, after 1 year of shoving hormones in my body, I think it is finally back to normal. Taking these drugs will just destroy the progress & make me a mess again. So, we have some things to consider.

Good news is, we are planning our March vacation. This will be small because we are planning a BIG one for our anniversary! Any ideas for a fun getaway? ~Amy
