Word Therapy

It was about this time last year that I realized that this whole getting pregnant thing may be a little more complicated than I had originally thought. I knew that it could take a while, and I had a feeling it wouldn't happen right away. I have to say, though, that I had no idea that a year later, we would still not be any closer to becoming parents than we were.

I guess I can't say we aren't any closer. But at this point, we are still labeled "inexplicably infertile." That's never fun, but what are you gonna do, you know?

One of the funniest things about infertility is that you can't really keep it a secret. Your boss kind of wants to know why you keep taking off at the same times each month, and honestly I've never been very good at secrets. I am much too chatty. We decided after a year, when we first started treatments, that we would much rather share our journey with people. We know now that so many people are praying for us, and it makes all the difference.

I have no doubt that my relationship with and understanding of our loving God has grown through the past months. There are so many decisions and choices to be made in the world of infertility, and I pray daily that God will lead us down the path He has chosen for us. I know that there is a chance that God's plan for us may not include having a child naturally, and that's okay. I am not saying it doesn't make me sad sometimes, but it's okay. Who am I to argue with our God? What I do know is that God has a wonderful plan for our lives, and that whatever it is will bring glory to His name. And what more can we ask for?

Anywho, enough rambling for today. I did have to brag on my very cute sister, who sent me an "encouragement" package after our treatment failed last month. How cute is she? She knows me well. And yes, now I have all three High School Musical movies. Whoo hoo! Come over and watch sometime.
