Give Grace
Thursday, October 08, 2015I came across The Give Grace™Campaign on Instagram and I related to Megan and Blake's story of infertility like so many other couples can. I jumped at the chance to support the cause and spread the word to raise funds for adoption and IVF. It also made me feel more comfortable with sharing my own story. I think people tend to shy away from this topic, but I have come to find that it helps to know that there are other people out there going through the same thing. So here it goes...
I've never thought of myself as much of a planner but when it came to what I wanted to do when I grew up, I never hesitated, I planned on being a wife and mother. As we all have to learn, life doesn't always go according to plan.
I have been so blessed in many aspects of my life. I met the love of my life while we were in high school and we celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary this past July. Unfortunately, having babies just hasn't been in the cards for us yet. After a year of trying we decided to see a specialist and we were diagnosed with infertility. Hearing that word in your early twenties is definitely a shock but we were surprised to find out how common it actually was. We went through tests and treatments until another health condition has prevented us from continuing down the road of IUI or IVF. So for now, moving forward with these treatments has been put on hold. This journey has been a long road of ups and downs with what seems like more downs. It has taken me awhile to come to a place of accepting that this just isn't the right time, but I am hopeful that one day we will be blessed with the family that we have always wanted.
For all of you out there with baby-shaped holes in your hearts, I hope and pray that one day those holes are filled with the family of your dreams!
