Another summer coming to a close...

I cannot believe another summer is coming to a close. I wish I could write about all the exciting adventures we took this summer, but I really can't! With this being the first summer of our cabin, we spent every single weekend up there. Though it's been amazing, I am ready to start spending some time at home! Boating, bon fires, S'mores, fourwheeling, and sun is starting to get a little old. I'm ready for pumpkins, pretty leaves, and sweaters!

Another thing I can't believe is that my little boy is already 2.5 years old. It seem unbelievable that he will be turning 3 this winter! He will start ECFE classes this year with Ross and I and is fully potty trained. His speech gets clearer and clearer everyday and is getting sassy as ever!

A few weeks ago I had a check up with my Nephrologist. Having another child has been on my mind a little lately. Baby fever maybe? Nolan turning 3 this year maybe? Seeing a bunch of pregnant ladies lately, maybe? Who knows.... Though Ross and I have not made a decision on if we are going to expand our family someday, I just wanted to run it by one of my doctors just one last time. I knew they had told me "no more kids biologically" before, but I wasn't fully ready to accept it. Saying I was surprised by his answer would be an understatement. He said that he feels more than comfortable to have me try to have another child biologically. WHAT?! He said with how fast my body has taken to the medications and how stable my labs have been he said that he doesn't see any reason to not try to have another one. WHAT?! Obviously...there are risks. Infertility, Miscarriage, Kidney failure, Pre-mature delivery, Preeclampsia,etc. I would have to be watched like a hawk, dealing with a high risk OB, put on different medications and taken off some, and taking a pretty big risk. With that said, this is a decision that will not be taken lightly but I can definitely promise that it will also be a decision that is made within the next year. I also need to still talk to my Rheumatologist about it. She may have a complete different answer than my Nephrologist for taking that next step! Whatever the choice, I ask for prayers to accept the decision we choose and know that decision is the right one for our family.

With that being said, here are a few updated pictures of Nolan from this summer...






Have a blessed ending to your summer!
