This blog is about our journey in starting our family. We have both struggled with this for a long time. I feel like this is the time to share what we have gone through because I know we are not the only ones going through this. I hope to be an encouragment and to recieve encouragement from others through my posts.

Day 12 Update!
First of all I want to say THANK YOU Lord! Thank you for answering prayers, thank you for never leaving me even when the doubt and that fear kept finding it's way into my mind over the past few weeks. So Praise God, it is because of Him any of this is happening.
Second of all, we had our third appointment today. This was another ultrasound to check the growth of my follicles. If you remember on Wednesday I had one follicle on my right side measuring at 12mm. Today I am shocked and pleased to tell you I have two on my right side now, one is measuring at 14mm, the other is measuring at 12.5mm. I also have one follicle trying to catch up that is on my left ovary measuring at 11mm. My prayer this week was that the one would just keep growing, that it would stay put and grow, grow, grow. Never did I imagine that I would have gotten this good of results today. So again, Thank you Lord, Praise Jesus!
My doctor is keeping me on 150 units of medication for the next three days and I go back in on Tuesday for another check. Here's what we need. I need no more than three follicles to keep growing. IF any more than that decide to join the party we may have to cancel this cycle which would break my heart. So my prayer for the next three days is that the three that are growing will be the only three that keep growing. That when I go in Tuesday I will be ready for my trigger shot and Wednesday we can proceed with the IUI.
As I wrap up this post I just want to say how at peace I am with all of this. Yes I may have doubt and fear creep in but it does not stay long. I cry now because all of this, this whole situation feels completely right. I feel God working in all of this. So now I also thank God for Honor and blessing us with her because without her I would not be as strong in my faith. She renewed a hope and trust in us, and me especially that was at risk of being lost and I don't even want to think about where I would be spiritually if she hadn't been born. I miss her so much but at the same time I am now seeing a bigger plan, a plan that she was so much a part of.
Keep praying! I will update everyone Tuesday when we know more info!
Love to you all!
Tom and Whit
