Walk with us DOWN DRURY LANE...
No we are not pregnant...YET! Wish that was the news to share. People start blogs when they have children but we have decided to start this blog BEFORE we have children. To take you down "Drury Lane" of the process to recieve our children!!
Where do I begin, but back at the beginning. It all started about 3 years ago when Pete and I were becoming kind of anxious about starting a family. After many months of trying and trying again...and trying some more....we finally decided to pursue some expert knowledge. We made an appointment to see a highly recommended fertility specialist. This doctor is an absolute God send and is exactly what we had prayed for! He was quick to figure out what would be the best path for us. After a few months of some different kinds of tests, he discovered that I had a closed fallopian tube. After an outpatient procedure that fixed the problem, we were on our way with some different medicines to try. After the summer of trying, there was no success. The following spring (2008) we decided to pursue the next step, which was a little bit more invasive. We decided to try artificial insemenations, three times that summer, with no success.
You can imagine that by this time we are extremely heart broken and very much pleeding with God to show us His will for our lives.
SO AFTER MUCH PRAYER...TEARS...FAITH...
That leads me to the next step, which we have decided to take this spring (2009). We have decided to finally puruse In Vitro Fertilization . No we are not going to have 8 babies! This clinic will only implant 2 embryos....so twins..maybe....octuples....I have a better chance at winning the lottery!
We have no idea what is in store for us in the coming months. I do know that I desire to be transparent through it all so that all can see the work that God will do in our lives!!!
Romans 11:33-36
33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
34 "Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?"
35 "Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay him?"
36 For FROM Him, and THROUGH him, and TO him areall things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen
