The time has now come for them to be sent to an actual fertility clinic. They will have to travel to Austin several times a month to go and see a specialist.Insurance will not cover a dime!!
Just to put into perspective a general estimate for the clinic is as follows:The initial consultation can cost up to $900. They will have to pay for ultrasounds ($150) ,blood work ($125) & actual procedures will range from $300-$20,000 as well as shots she will have to take which can cost up to $1000 each round of shots…keep in mind sometimes it takes more than one round.
WE are working on putting a local raffle together as well as an online raffle....if anyone wants to help that would be greatly appreciated.
We also have purchased bracelets and keychains to sell on there behalf that say growing in faith, if you would like one of these please email piferbeanfund@yahoo.com or comment us.
I personally see Tiffany with my child as well as all her friends whom have children and I know that being a mother is something she aches for, as well as Zach being a father. This is a road they never dreamed of going down, I wish I could take this away from them, however we can't...BUT we can help make this journey as smooth and stress-free as possible!!!
Tiffany's website is http://www.thepiferfamily.blogspot.com. Please help us help The Pifer's through this infertility journey and help them to be able to conceive the miracle baby that they so deserve!!!
AGAIN-if you know of any local company that would help donate something to the raffle please let us know!!!!GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Memorial Day Fun
Our day was fun filled and we had so much fun!! I started off the morning by getting up with Audree and letting daddy sleep in for just a bit. I made Audree waffles for breakfast and then gave her a bath!! When Brett woke up I left and went and got my hair cut, or maybe I should say chopped!! haha Last night I decided I was ready for a new style so of course everyone knows that when I say Im ready I mean like Im going to do it withing 24 hours!! My hair was past my shoulders and I cut into a swing bob! I ♥ IT!!!
After I got home, I got Audree down for a nap and started packing our bags. We were heading out to the lake on my dad's boat and I could not wait to get some sun!! It was too hot & sunny for little miss Audree so we dropped her off at my mom's. We went and picked up our neice and she was so FREAKING EXCITED for the lake.
Here are some pics!!
After I posted this I walked into the living room and this is what I saw. It literally brought tears to my eyes. How did I get so Blessed & Lucky to have this?

Day @ The Lake
We sat around at the table and talked and had a good time. The guys played football and I tried to soak up some sun. Audree was ALL OVER THE PLACE and she had such a GREAT time! We took her to the little beach area and she loved playing in the "sand" and then we let her put her feet in the water. She was sooooo cute!!
Grandpa James walked her to the water and showed her all around the lake. It was to adorable. You see my dad wasn't always there for my brother & I when we were growing up, but today he is one of the best dads in the world not to mention an AMAZING Grandpa! His eyes light up when he sees Audree and you can tell how much he loves her. It brings so much joy to my heart to see the 2 of them together!!!
We will be doing it all again tomorrow and I can NOT wait!!
Here are some pics from our day!!

Sunday Cook Out
15 Month Check Up
Let me just say we have raised a DRAMA QUEEN!!! She was laughing,cutting up and just a talking until the nurse came in. She took 1 look at her and screamed her head off. HAHAHA As soon as she would turn her head the other way audree would smile and laugh again!! She did the same thing with the Dr haha I guess she remembered them from Wed. taking her blood because she has never ever done that.
Anywho here are her stats:
head 18.5 inches (it was I think 13.5 at birth)
Weight: 24 lbs 12 oz
Height: 30.5 inches
Has 4 teeth and 4 coming in
Dr said vocab of 6 words is good, Audree has around 30! She is right on track and actually a head of the game for her age which is WONDERFUL news considering she was 2 months early!!
Her walking is getting better and better everyday as well as her talking. This girl has a mouth on her too!! HAHA she will talk your head off!!
She only got 1 shot today so that was nice!! We go back in 3 months for her 18 month check up!

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT MUST READ!!!
My best friend and her husband have been struggling to conceive their very first child for 3+ years. They have tried naturally; they’ve tried with fertility medicines, and even IUI’s. Unfortunately none of these have been successful.
The time has now come for them to be sent to an actual fertility clinic. They will have to travel to Austin ( which is about 1.5 hours from where we live) several times a month to go and see a specialist. When the word FERTILITY clinic was mentioned, I could see the fear in their faces and the hurt in their hearts. This was a step we were all hoping they would never have to take. They are extremely excited but also scared for that next step and chapter in their lives. The cost of an infertility clinic is outrageous. Insurance will not cover a dime!!
Fundraiser Details:
*If you pay by paypal, please piferbeanfund@yahoo.com and let us know which colors, keychain or bracelet you would like.
Raffle Details
Example: If you buy 5 bracelets your name is entered 5 times.

My Baby's 1st time sick
Yesterday morning when we woke Audree up she felt a little warm so I gave her motrin and she went off to her grammy and pawpaw's for the day. Grammy said she played all day long and was fine, until around 2:30. Audree started getting hot again and well her fever just kept going up. When I got home her fever was 102.7. We gave her more motrin and put her in a luke warm bath. She did NOT like it at first but she gave in. We made her lay low for the night and she conked out around 7:30. I checker on her around 9:30 and she was on FIRE!! I took her temp & it was 103.7. Of course I IMMEDIATLEY FREAK OUT!! I call the on call Dr and they told me to give her another luke warm bath and keep her cool. As long as she is acting fine then she is okay to wait until the morning to come in. I kept my eyes on her all night long, checking her temp over and over and well needless to say I did not get any sleep! Her temp stayed in the low 100's all night.
This morning she was still running a fever so I made her a Dr's appt. They had to do a CBC (complete blood count) and they did a strep swab. The Dr did notice a tad touch of "thrush" in her mouth. She said its not really common at this age, but if audree dropped her passy on the ground then put it her mouth, or put anything dirty in her mouth it can cause this. So we have meds for that. She does have a virus and strep was negative. She said to just let it run its course and contain the fever.
here are some pics I took this morning of her

Need to blow off some steam
I just wanted to get something off my chest, everyone knows you feel better after this happens!!
A lot of people in this world need support, prayers & ♥ . I have donated, said prayers, and done everything I can possibly do the help all of those in need when I can and where I can. It really upsets me when people act like they are the only ones in this world that need help and or prayers. It hurts my feelings in a way because right now I am working on a "project" with a very near and dear friend of mine (sorry can't say what it is) and some people have reacted in a way I would have never thought they would.
Just remember that a lot of people need the help, not just one organization or person.
Thank you to everyone who has been praying, helping and willing to help out with this secret project! For those of you wondering what "project" this is, keep coming back because it will be announced soon!!

Lets Pull Together & Pray
I ask that you please keep her in your prayers this morning.
"Lord please watch over Adelle this morning. Lord I ask you that you will give her peace as she is headed into the operating room. During her surgery, I ask that you be with all of the Dr's, Surgeons and Nurses and help them get through this delicate task they are about to perform. Heavenly Father, please give the family strength while they are in waiting as well as after the surgery. Lord, please let Adelle come out of this surgery with her health in tact. In your name we pray, Amen."

Happy Mothers Day
Ring
Earrings
NecklaceI hope that each and every one of you have a WONDERFUL Mother's Day!
A Mother's Love
There are times when only a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappoints
And calm all of our fears.
There are times when only a Mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.
There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.
For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above.
