Today was a good day. Today I walked out of my new Drs. office feeling like a person not a number. He actually listened to my history, asked questions and proved himself to be very knowledgeable. I also walked out with a script for Clomid in my hands. So I suppose this begins another new chapter. We will wait till December or January to start it just due to traveling next month and sharing a hotel room with family. Not exactly good timing for scheduled sex.
I'm feeling relieved. I didn't expect things to go the way that they did. I honestly was so scared he was going to blow me off but it was just the opposite. For now he gave me 2 months on the lower dose and if I don't get pregnant in those two months he is going to up my dosage little by little till we find what works for us.
This is exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. Exciting because we can have another baby without having to go through all the crazy I went through last time. Never wracking because everything right now is so new. My new job/business that I'm building for myself. That right there is a little stressful. But it doesn't mean that it wont happen. God has proven himself to always provide! I will feed on his faithfulness.
Little man is waking from his nap so I'm afraid I have to cut this short but I do actually have quite a lot to say about the new chapter we just started so I'll be on soon.

Time For Change
I had said in one of my latest posts that I felt like change was coming but I couldn't quite put a finger on it. Well change has most certainly come. It's not in the form I expected and it to be quite honest is a little scary but I have so much peace it's literally overwhelming. So what is the change?
This change is that I quit my job of 6 years to go a different direction. For those of you who have not followed me from the beginning I am a hair dresser and absolutely love what I do. I have been at the same salon for the past 6 years and have become a manager and trainer for them. I was paid hourly plus tips so not like your typical commission based salon. Lately I had been feeling like it is time to move on. I can't explain why just that there is something better out there for me. Not that I didn't appreciate where I was because that is definitely not it at all but just a calling into a different direction. So I typed up my resume and waited. Over a few months time I had a few opportunities that came along that just didn't add up for me. Let's back track a little for this to make sense: a long time ago God had spoke to my heart I could go to school for whatever I wanted to go for but in the end I would need to lay it down to do what He has called me to do. I didn't really understand what that meant back then, I thought it meant going into ministry or something along that line. No God meant it in the realm of being a Mom. I am to be there for my kids, not put them in daycare. By doing so this is in fact a sacrifice....I'm giving up time and space to grow in the career that I love along with being around adults my own age all day. For anyone who knows me they will tell you I am a huge people person. I love to meet new people and interact with them on a regular basis. So I am lucky enough with my; I guess now I have to call it "old" job to be able to stay at home with Ezekiel during the day and then go to work in the evenings two nights a week and on Saturday. Sorry I know it seems like I'm going backwards but really back to the story. Last week I accepted an offer from a Salon that I'm still kind of blown away by everything. They posted their resume, I applied and within four hours I had a phone interview, the next day a face to face interview then a job offer immediately...It was one of those things where before I sent the application in I prayed Okay God I'm following your leading and you are going to open doors for me to walk through if this is you and if not I ask you would shut the door. So when the owner called me we talked and every single thing that proved the breaking point at other salons I looked at he kept saying: nope, nope doesn't bother me, not a problem ect; So every single reason I gave him being prepared in order for him to say oh sorry that wont work just never happened. So then I went a step further and said things I wanted and it was already what they practiced: I can take as much time off as I want without penalties. If I want to see my family during the holidays I can see my family, no black out dates. Eventually more $$ once I get a full book. I can get certified in a color line and start teaching educational classes with that. The owner has actually done A list Celebrities hair and has so much to teach us it's so many good things that I am super excited about!
Where does this step of Faith come from then? It comes from me starting over. I no longer get paid hourly...a steady income ready to come all the time. Now I must rely on getting clients in to see me and everything is commission based. This will be good for me in the long run but scary until I get clients. So hey if your in the Pittsburgh Area and feel like you need a new style ;-) just let me know. Isaac and I both know this is what I am supposed to do. It was definitely really hard thought to leave my clients and co workers who I have known and loved for the past 6 years.
It will all end up working out though exactly as it should. It always does. God is so incredibly faithful even when we aren't.
So that being said I think I should post some hair pictures...you know in case anyone feels like flying to me for their hair.
