waiting

I am learning that waiting is part of life we just cant avoid. I am also learning waiting is not fun but is when we learn so much. Our infertility journey has forced us to wait, wait and wait so more! While waiting I have learned what a precious husband I have, patience, contentment, I am not in control, God's perfect timing, always have faith, always have hope, and God's plan for our life is so much better then we could ever imagine. Mary Grace was such a surprise I never thought we would have trouble with having a second child. Through this experience God has shown me Mary Grace is a miracle. God has led us to fertility treatments. We did our first cycle of intrauterine insemination before Christmas and was not successful. We are in the middle of our second cycle. We added follistim injections this time. I had such a great response to the medication we almost cancelled due to so many follicules. We decided to move forward and are now in the two week wait to see if this is the month. While this wait has not been fun I know this season is temporary and we will get through it. I am thankful God has walked through this with us. He has opened doors, provided in amazing ways, and encourages us everyday!
