Infertility will never be the same.

Infertility will never be the same.

Wednesdays are just another day during the week for most. It is the day that helps you get to Friday because it’s half way to the weekend. Usually the weeks drag but that week it seemed like time was speeding on by. Wednesday of that week was no ordinary day. It was the day all of our dreams came true. The day life would never have the heartache it once had previously.

We had given up in our infertility journey.

At this point in our infertility journey we had given up. We decided that having a baby may not be the right path for us. If it was hard maybe it was because it just wasn’t meant to be right. If it isn’t easy and quick then it isn’t meant for us. I had been having the many symptoms I would have regularly every month. Symptoms that could be confused with pregnancy but never was for me. My husband had asked me to take one last test. I looked at him and explained how I didn’t want to go down that roller coaster of emotions ever again. I had promised him the week before if nothing came of my symptoms I would take a test.

The week went by fast. The day had come to begin down the roller coaster of emotions. I took the test. We stood there together for what seemed like an eternity. It kept blinking and I kept squinting my eyes trying to peek but not wanting to know. All of a sudden “pregnant” appeared. In utter shock we looked at each other. What does that say? Tears of disbelief and joy started streaming. I was crying, my husband was crying, and our dogs were even excited because we were jumping for joy.

That day forward infertility was never the same.

You have to go out and get more tests. So my husband went to get more. Taking the entire box in tests that all read the same. PREGNANT!! That day forward infertility never was the same.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you a future and a hope. -Jeremiah 29:11

9 months later we welcomed our first son.

9 months later we welcomed a beautiful baby boy. 3 weeks early but healthy in every way. Our prayers were answered by this sweet son of ours. If you are struggling with infertility I want to encourage you to keep trying. Please do not give up hope. Please know I am praying for you! I am praying for every woman, or every couple, who is weary and mourning what you thought your dreams should be. If you are reading this and need to pray today. Allow me to stand with you and pray with you.

Allow me to stand with you and pray with you.

Dear Heavenly Father, 
I renounce the lies that I will never have a baby within my own womb. 
I pray that the women are struggling to carry a baby of their own. 
I pray over their womb that you will prepare them to carry this baby to term
That this baby will live a long and healthy life here on earth 
I pray that every step of the way you walk next to her and heal the parts of her that need healed
Whether its physical, emotional, spiritual, etc heal every part of her 
So one day she can carry this baby of her own. 
Keep hope and joy in her heart even when she is weary. 
I pray infertility will never be the same. 
We praise you!! 
Amen
