It's been almost two years since we said "i do", and we have finally come to terms that we are ready to try to make our family of "three" (fur baby is included in this count) to add another number.
Never have I ever realized just how hard it is to do that. My perception in high school made it seem so easy, as if any time the deed was done, congrats you're prego. Can you tell how well I paid attention in Health Class? oops.
But now that we are both ready, nothing has happened. Granted I'm not the one to track anything and everything, and I'm sure that would increase our odds. There is nothing that's holding me back, girly parts are all functioning properly. I am just extremely impatient now. Every month goes by and it's a constant battle not to over think things.
Most days it's "I want one, right now. Why can't it just happen" then others it goes something like "well maybe we should wait more. Pay off a couple more bills, have a chance to actually spend time together as a couple (if and when that ever does happen with our schedules).
I really just need to take a step back, enjoy what
is all given to me now, and know that in time, the right time, it will happen.
And I'm sure it's not the way I will think it will be, because nothing ever goes
exactly like we planned it, right?

While I am not trying to have a child I'm sure it must be rough to want something so badly but not have it right away.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. As someone who is getting married shortly it's nice to hear someone talk about what is often on my mind, when people shy away from the topic. Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to wait when you have decided you are both ready. Our first child was an "oops" and have never regretted it once. However, our daughter was planned. It took me a lot longer to get pregnant and keep it the second time around. I believe God has a plan and when it's the "right" time, it will happen for you. :) Just enjoy the trying ;) hehe!
ReplyDeleteI know it's a bit of an emotional roller coaster but I also believe that it will happen when it's meant to. There are so many things up in the air. Just enjoy your life with your hubby BC (before children). Love ya!!!
ReplyDeleteIf it definitely hard to wait, I know exactly how you are feeling. I know people hate hearing (me included) but it's true that it will happen when the time is right.
ReplyDeleteOh Whit I'm right there with you. Such a struggle and hard to have patience. But I just keep praying that things will happen when they're supposed to. God has a plan for you and your baby to be.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. We have been trying for over a year and nothing has happened. It can be so hard to remember that God has plan and His timing is infinitely better than ours. I will keep you all in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteWhit, we can talk about this more in person and I can share my struggles with this as well, but I go to a FANTASTIC midwife in Oshkosh that has been amazing about this stuff and is very, VERY helpful. Seriously. So if you need a little guidance or you want to look into a medical reason as to why a baby isn't happening quite yet, just let me know!
ReplyDeleteHugs! What's meant to be, will be.
I know it's so difficult to wait for those two lines to appear but it will happen. One {I had a few} of my favorite quotes while we were on our journey to conceive was & still is "Faith in God includes Faith in his timing". :) Be patient. It will happen. I will be praying for you & your family. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to email me. :) I know what you are going through. :)
ReplyDeleteIt will happen for you :) It can be hard to wait and not understand the timing of life but it will be worth it! Good luck! xo
ReplyDeleteTotally understand this girl! I'm learning that its one of the hardest things to be patient through... Praying it happens soon for you two!!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. It is the worst wait. And it is a struggle. 26 months we waited and I promise you now...it was worth the wait. I know it's hard but try and enjoy this time and don't waste any time. I'm here for you. xo
ReplyDeleteI can't believe from reading the comments how common an issue this is. I can tell you from experience that when you're going through it, you feel like you're the only one.
ReplyDeleteI too was mystified why we spent years trying to avoid an unplanned pregnancy only to realize how hard it can actually be to conceive. Patience is unfortunately not a virtue I posses, I am a planner and expected it to happen right away.
I will tell you to not give up. We tried for almost three years, and when the two lines FINALLY appeared, I was in shock for days. I truly wish the same outcome for you (minus the lengthy wait).
