June is here, which means summer is right around the corner. Spring flew by, a little too fast. But I am thankful that we got plenty of spring rain to wake up our pastures from their long winter nap. I shared in our last newsletter that kidding season was complete and this month I get to share another amazing answer to prayer. Madeline had her calf!
She had a sweet and strong little heifer calf. We decided to name her Magnolia, but I have been calling her Magnolia Moo. She is just as sweet as her mama. We hope to train her to be a milk cow for another farm, but time will tell. When she is a little older we will send in tail hairs for DNA testing. This DNA testing will tell us a lot, but we are mostly looking to see her milk proteins and if she is Chondro (dwarf). Madeline is chondro and she is absolutely amazing.
IVF update
Monday is my endometrial biopsy. This will help us determine if we need to make any changes for our upcoming embryo transfer. It is hard for me to know how to feel right now. One minute I am fine and the next I am a ball of tears. The uncertainty is hard. Will we mourn another loss, or will we celebrate a miracle. I don't know, I wish I did. For now, I just have to trust. I have to keep my faith. I know that I can have hope in the midst of our infertility because of Christ. He is good. He is faithful. No matter the outcome.
