Quest for baby


Most of you-since you are all my close friends and family know that we have been trying to have a baby for quite awhile. One of the reasons I started this blog is that hopefully some day I will be able to chronicle my pregnancy and babies' lives on here. I have truly come to a peace about our "battle" with infertility, and I want to put it out there because it is not something that people should deal with in silence. I named this blog "Faith Hope and Love" because that is what I rely on through all of this. I stole it from my sister, but I don't think she will mind. :o)
We have wonderful doctors that we are working with, and I feel very confident that we will have our dream some day. God has a plan for us all and though it may not be in my timing- it will all work out the way it is supposed to. Lots of times my friends and family tell me that they don't know what to say -but just having your support and listening ear are enough for me. I also don't mind to answer questions. Lots of people feel like it is so deeply personal, but for me it really has become everyday life. I know way more about my body and fertility than I ever wanted to!

I am fully recovered from my laparoscopic surgery from two weeks ago and we are very hopeful that the small spots of endometriosis that they removed will help us along.

Above is a video called "The Infertility Awareness Project". It is a TEAR JERKER, but I feel like it does a pretty good job of sharing what infertility is like.

This whole process for us has made me really feel like I should do something to help others that are going through this same thing. I am not sure what that is yet, but I guess I will know when I find it. :o)

We both really appreciate all of the love and support that you each have given us at some point or another- whether you knew it or not!

Ok, so I didn't watch the video yet cause I've cried enough this week...but, you and Jared are always in my prayers. My pregnancies...though very unexpected, came way too easy (waaaaay too easy, can't say that enough!!) and had no problems and now that I'm older, I see what a huge blessing it was, even though it seemed problematic at the time. I, like you, think that God will do what is right for you in His time (which sometimes SUCKS because it's not when we want it!!!) I know that when you do have children, you and Jared will be such wonderful, loving, and awesome parents!!! I love your blog and you!!! Hugs, blessings, love, and prayers on your baby-quest!!!

Sending a big HUG your way...It is such a stuggle, but sounds like you are in a good place and have the right doctors to help you! It will happen in God's time. :)
