So, I have decided to just write and document our journey because I know this will have a happy ending for us. I am looking forward to the day when I come back and reread all of my posts to see the ups and downs we went through to get to you.
Since this is the first post, I might as well begin at the beginning. It was March 2011 and we had decided it was time to add to our family of two. We anxiously and excitedly began planning for a baby. We knew it would take some time and we weren't in any huge rush, but in my mind I would have you by next May (at the latest!). I began looking for nursery ideas, what cribs I liked, I had even picked out baby names for either a boy or a girl. I was giddy with excitement to meet you!
By October, we were still just a family of two (and not that we did not love our little family of two, but we were wondering when we would meet you!). After a doctor's appointment, we realized our journey to you was going to be a little bumpier than expected. For the next six months, we went on a couple different medications, but still no you.
Now, over a year later, we are still wondering when we will finally meet our sweet bundle of joy. There are days when I am quite content with my life and know that God has something wonderful in store for us. There are other days when I get down and depressed wondering why we have to go through such a challenging journey to meet you, when it seems like others' journey is so short and easy to meet their babies. Other days I'm angry and confused. No matter what the mood the day may bring, I always think of you and long for the day that we can finally call you ours! And that's the purpose of this blog, to capture the ups and downs, and to thank God that through it all we know "Faith Will Arise" and you will one day be ours!
