Dreaming

I want to tell a little story because I want to be able to look back on this post one day.

Kevin and I have been married for 9 years (will be 10 in May 2011) and for the past 9 years we have been trying to get pregnant. Growing up I always wanted to be a mother and be pregnant and feel that little baby growing inside of me. In 2004, I found out I had endometriosis and had laproscopic surgery to clean it out. The dr found more than he thought was in there but he said he got it all. I'm not out of the clear though. My dr said there's a chance it could come back. But 6 years later I don't have the pain I used to and I'm pretty sure it's gone now. So the dr put me on fertility meds for 1 year and still nothing. So in 2005-2006 we decided to just let nature take its course and if it happens, it will happen. And since then we just let nature take its course and now in November 2010 still no baby. I love when my friends get pregnant and I'm so happy for them but it breaks my heart. I've cried myself to sleep some nights or just went into the bathroom and broke out bawling because it hasn't happened. Its supposed to be me announcing I'm pregnant and let me tell you when I do find out I'm pregnant the whole wide world will know. I've been waiting almost my whole life to announce something like that, well besides the day I was getting married :)

So fast forward to current day November 2010 I just turned 29 (its kinda scary, haha) and after talking to my dr we decided to start the process again. I could never be more excited. This time I want to do everything I can to get pregnant. So if you can please send prayers my way I would appreciate it :) And this week at church the pastor is going to start a series called The Blessed Life. How appropriate is that?

Only someone who has been down your path can understand your heartache and you know my story well enough to know that I feel for you and totally "get" it. Hang in there girl. Hang on tight. :)
