To give you an update on the journey we are on...I had the plan from my doctor and was so excited that we had a "plan." I was to do an ovulation predictor kit for 2 months and then if I wasn't pregnant in 2 months, I would have to get an HSG test done. Month #1 I couldn't do the kit because I never had a cycle! This obviously means I did not ever ovulate. Month #2 I have 2 sticks left of a 20 day ovulation predictor and have not detected an LH surge yet...this means, I have not ovulated and it has been 18 days. I will probably have the HSG test done soon.
I was recently reading a post that I came upon because of a friend from Phi Lamb in college. Mandy's brother and sister-in-law lost their precious baby girl when she was only 3 months old. Jennifer (mandy's sister-in-law) blogs and just recently did an update on the past 7 months and the healing the Lord has done in their hearts. The Lord used her words to give me a new perspective.
The first thing she said that God has taught her is that her husband is her greatest earthly gift! Wow! The night I read her blog, I left a note on Michael's pillow (b/c I went to bed early!) that said "You, Michael, are the greatest earthly gift that I will ever have!" I need to tell him that more often. I love that! The Lord has blessed me so much with a husband on this earth. A relationship that is the greatest earthly blessing!
I got in bed and opened my Bible to Ephesians 1. Ok, Lord I'm hearing You! Ephesians 1 is about our spiritual blessing! We have been given every spiritual blessing in Christ! Oh, Jesus, thank You for the cross. Thank You that through You and in You I have very spiritual blessing.
So, I am joyful and hopeful. I am fully blessed right now, this day!! Praise You Lord!

Know that I'm praying for you while you're in this season of life. You seem to have just the right attitude and approach. I don't know what the Lord has in store for you guys, but I have confidence it will be amazing!
I agree with AmyB...who knows what the Lord has planned? Sooner or later you will be looking at your child and be amazed at how it all came about.
I'm praying for you to have the desires of your heart!!
so tears fill my eyes as I read your blog. I remember a year ago I was trying so hard to get pregnant and month after month NOTHING! I remember crying myself to sleep night after night wondering if I would ever me a mommy. Now I am. I am writing you this as I sit here staring at him in his little bounct chair just looking around. The Lord is awesome and I know that in his timing he will bring you a sweet baby to love and hold. I am praying for you and love you! I have felt exactly what you feel and I know that the desire you have to be a mommy is one that the Lord has placed inside of you and I believe he will give you that opportunity! Please call me if you ever want to talk!
Love you girl!
Melanie,
Your honesty is beautiful, really. It allows others, and myself, know how to pray for this season of life you are in. I have been reading lately about the waiting time, when it's just not our turn yet, and how we can struggle through that time. But, when we are able to see the waiting time as the Lord's time of preparation in our hearts (of something) then it makes his timing more lovely and our focus centered.
Bless your sweet, honest, aching heart~~
Hey sweet Mel,

Love, Amers
