I think everyone knows of our struggle through the last 3 years, it was never something I hid. I am so excited that our struggle is now over and being pregnant has eased the pain & frustration of the last 3 years. It is something that has changed us forever and we will never forget what we endured to get pregnant. I know there was a reason for us to go through it, although I'm not sure I will ever know why. I never shared this VIDEO with anyone because I never wanted to let on how distressed I was over our inability to conceive & I certainly didn't want anyone to feel sorry for us. I want to share it now. Not for your sympathy for everything we went through, but to let everyone know what a BLESSING it is to have a child. It's not a simple thing for many couples.
"When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better." How incredibly true...we're so excited to meet our first in February!

Wow.. that video was touching.. did you make that video?
an AMAZING VIDEO! I know I will never be able to fully understand what you went through, but I hope you know that with each pregnancy those of us on the other end of the spectrum truly felt for you. The awareness that with each additonal joy we had that it might be causing someone we cared about pain. I was talking with a friend of a friend the other night who has been struggling with infertility for almost a year. I hope you don't mind but I shared what I knew of your story with her. They think her husband may have had an accidental vasectomy when he was little and had a hernia. I was hoping to encourage her that if this was a problem that could be fixed with surgery that they too may finally be able to get pregnant all on their own. It is a fine line to walk between not knowing what to say and saying something that may be well meaning but still insensitive.
Hi! I ran across your blog via Jodie's. Wanted to let you know how VERY excited I am for you! What WONDERFUL news!!! It's such a treasure to see that little heartbeat, isn't it?!!
Having endured numerous miscarriages myself, the heartbreak, and the ache of sitting in numerous specialists' offices, I do understand the ache that will forever etch our hearts. However, I have already seen God use this journey for good in my own life.... God has used the journey to grow such compassion in me for other women who are enduring a similar path. I am sure he has done the same in you. No, I am certain that I will never understand "why" while I am walking on the earth.... but one day, I will know. The puzzle pieces will finally fit together.
Blessings to you! May you be blessed with an amazing and SMOOTH pregnancy!!! Can't wait to see pictures on your blog of your beautiful, little one in YOUR ARMS one day SOON!!!
