"I'm Sorry, But You May Not be Able to Have Children"

I'yard getting COMPLETELY personal with you today. Just I've struggled for so long wanting to share our story with you, because it ways so much to me.

I told yous back in June, during my post "An Afternoon of Bonding," that I would share with you one day how my husband and I were told that we would more than likely not be able to take children.

Today is that day.

My husband and I had been dating for 10 years, and we finally tied the knot in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It was absolutely the best way we could have gotten married. Our shut family unit and friends came to join us, and even though the hymeneals lasted about twenty minutes…. the celebration lasted for days! {of form, more on that afterwards too, if ya want.}

The Hymeneals

The Bad News

It was a routine checkup, and a brief mention to my doctor,

Y'all know, my hubby and I have been trying for well-nigh a yr to have a babe, and no luck.

After a couple of additional appointments and time, learning that I had endometriosis…the doctor told me that I would more than than likely have a really hard time, conceiving a baby, and to be prepared that information technology would more than likely not fifty-fifty happen.

I was devastated.

I'll never forget going home that afternoon, crying in my husbands artillery. All of my friends were having babies. Why couldn't we?

Another twelvemonth went by, charting… calendaring, counting, taking my temperature, taking ovulation tests, and nada. Zip was working.

Nosotros're Done Trying

One Sunday morning, my husband and I made the routine trip to church, but I had no idea what we were about to see, and determine for our family.

We sat behind a sweet couple that just adopted a baby boy through foster care, who had come up from a home where he was physically abused. Bruises & cleaved bones, at the early age of 6 months.

Only now… that niggling boy had sugariness parents. Parents that would honey and cherish him. Parents that would endeavor to make sure nothing harmful every happened to him once again.

God spoke to both my husband and I that morning. We got in the automobile to go out, and nosotros looked at each and as if information technology were a subject nosotros had been thinking over for years… nosotros both said,
"Let'due south prefer."

That next morning time, I went in to our office, made some telephone calls, filled out paperwork, and began our adoption journey.

What?!

The adjacent week, we were faced with the devastating news of my husbands father, that I mentioned earlier here.

In our final days with my father-in-law, I began to feel "weird." Thinking it was the stress of the news, I ignored it for a few days. Then… the feelings were more than "weird," and I decided to exercise something almost it. Besides, I had an extra pregnancy exam laying around from the bulk packages I had bought over the terminal two years, so why not.

Information technology was positive.

What?!

Yes, we were going to have a baby.

I couldn't wait to share the news with my hubby, then I immediately prepared his "Nosotros're Having a Baby," gift that I had created in my head for years.

Lucky lucky us… we were able to share the news with his father before he passed. The look of please and excitement on his face was absolutely priceless and unforgettable.

He's here… They're here

We did it. God absolutely blessed usa with two incredible boys. Information technology merely goes to prove you that God can practice anything.

We aren't the only couple I have heard of that "stopped," trying, and ended up expecting. It's amazing how that works isn't it?

If only I'd leave everything up to God, instead of trying to do it myself… I'chiliad sure, I'd be more even more blessed than I could always imagine. I'm so thankful I've finally been able to share our story with y'all.

I'd LOVE to hear your story. Did you go through something similar? Are y'all going through something like this? Exercise y'all know someone having a hard time with this correct now?
