April is Infertility Awareness month. I
never really took notice of it before. Before this past year that is. Now it hits home with me.
For thirty years I lived the single life. I never even expected to get married so having children was something I only dreamed of having one day.
Then life changed dramatically for me. I met someone, got married, and wham, we were pregnant!
After having our son through an emergency c-section we followed my doctor's orders to wait a year to get pregnant again. For the most part. We started trying again when Sonny was 9 months old.
However month after disappointing month our test response was "not pregnant".
No matter how heartbroken we are we are continuing to try and we are trusting in God.
If His answer is one and done then we'll be ok with that. If His answer is simply to wait on His timing we are definitely ok with that. God is in control.
Please remember to keep those who are struggling with infertility in your thoughts and prayers. They may look like they are calm, cool, and collected on the outside but they are dying on the inside.
Celebrating our birthday a week early in Troutdale Oregon, not far from Portland,at a restaurant next to the truckstop. The mac and cheese and the peanut butter chocolate silk pie were too die for. And the best bacon cheeseburger I've ever eaten. Shari's restaurant in Troutdale Oregon is a must stop location.
Thank you, Sonny, for making my dreams of motherhood come true. You are the best birthday gift a girl could ever ask for and I'm so thankful it's you.
I want so badly to give you brothers and sisters but if that is not God's will I hope you know that you are more than enough for us. You are our meaning for living. You bring joy and light into our lives and you motivate us to keep going no matter how hard life is.
We love precious boy. Never doubt it.
