A Little Good News (Hopefully)

As stated in my previous post, things have been rough lately for our family and many others.

I thought it was time to talk about something positive... like babies. What's not to love about babies?



I had my long awaited appointment today. The one where I told my Dr. that Caleb and I are more than ready for another little one. I don't know why, but I half expected to argue and plead with her on why I needed to be more aggressive this time, and get started on the same medications and fertility drugs asap.

Luckily, she was very much on the same page as me and she encouraged me to be aggressive. She said "Christine, we know what works for you so if you're sure you're ready, let's get started". I almost jumped out of my seat.

So after my yearly physical and a long conversation, I drove away with a smile on my face and several prescriptions in my hand.

As I drove away, it set in. I had forgotten how much it took and the many medications I was on (metformin, clomid, baby aspirin, pre-natal vitamins) to help me not only get pregnant, but to keep the baby. I used to joke to Caleb that I felt like an old lady with all of the meds that I had to keep track of.



I always told myself that I would never forget the journey we've been on and what a miracle Elliana was and is, and yet somehow, I've already taken that for granted. Now that I've carried and had a healthy child, I assume it will happen again. Just like that.

So here I am, staring at these prescriptions and I can't believe I'm ready to do all of this all over again. The medications (that honestly make me sick sometimes), the prayers, every month hoping for a "yes".

I just have to remind myself that every baby is a miracle, and a gift from God, and only he can give us the desires of our hearts.



So here's to trying again and praying that I'll be looking like this again soon. ;)
