Farewell Until FET

Two years ago this month, Michael and I met with an RE to discuss IVF.  Michael was 42 and had a V seven years prior, never thinking he'd be thrown into his current situation with a new wife who had no children of her own.  Coincidentally, his new wife (me) also needed to have a fallopian tube removed and had premature ovarian failure at the ripe old age of 31.

Over these two years, we've completed two fresh IVF cycles, said goodbye to 6 embryos, had one miscarriage, and given birth to one perfect two week old little boy.

Joyfully, I remind you that we have one miracle snow baby just minutes from our home.  We are already discussing when we'll begin the process of shots and pills again so that we can meet, hopefully, another blessing from heaven.  Until then, I have a whole lot of heaven in my home.

I will take a blog break until we are ready for our FET to enjoy this little miracle, the little embryo that could, and thank my Lord, my God for the favor he showed me when I did nothing to deserve it and everything to lose it!  Still, you loved me God.  Still you had mercy on me.  Still you gave me every. single. thing. I asked of you.

As we approach Easter and I now have a son, I cannot fathom how my God sent his son to die on a cross for me.  He already knew we'd not believe him OR believe in him, yet he did it anyway.  How He loves us.  It's a love I cannot understand, yet fully accept each day.

Forgive me, Lord, for each time I doubted you.  You have shown me your faithfulness time and time again.  Thank you for sticking with me through divorce, through making it as a single working girl.  Thank you for slapping a bow on really tall man's head and calling him mine.  You really outdid yourself with him, but look what you've done now.

Thank you, Lord, for the miracle of modern medicine.  God, we know these children came as a result of that medicine, but you are the author and creator of life.  We love you.

Until next time, Ladies... Thank you.
I love you, too.
