Icing on the cake

Many of you know that Pat and I have been trying to conceive for sometime now and have had no luck. We have went from being very excited one week to being afraid to even say we are gonna try again. We try so hard to keep our faith and leave this decision up to God, but it has been so hard for both of us. I can't say that I am the only one dealing with this, because I can see the excitement turn to disappointment in my husbands eyes and it hurts so bad.

I have went from looking at baby rooms, to wondering what in this world I am doing wrong. I have decided to get back in shape and start to eating healthier (minus banana pancakes)lol. So what do we do now? Many of our friends and family have told us to go to the doctor and see about fertility, why is that decision so hard to make? Yes, I want a child more than anything in this world, but it scares me to death that I may never be able to have one. So is it better to know or not? ugh!!

I know I am not the only one who has ever felt this way and I can say I honestly understand how hard trying to have a baby is now. I know that God is hearing not only our prayers but the prayers of a lot of our friends and family, so what is the problem? I have decided no more prayers for babies, but prayers for faith and peace with where we are now and whatever else is given to us, is just icing on the cake!



So for now, I will just enjoy spending time with this little one. Happy 2nd Birthday Lola Ann!

    LOVE Philippians 4:6. And there's nothing wrong with y'all practicing, makes y'all even closer, and it's the easiest way - no communication needed. Haha.

    Thanks for sharing. And y'all will be in my prayers. I have some friends that have had some difficult times lately too. It makes me really appreciate how special these little miracles in my life are. I hope you'll be able to have some little miracles one day, too. Y'all will be the best parents ever! God can definitely see that in your future! :)
