Just thought we would give you guys an update on the baby front. February was our last month of fertility treatments. After a year full of some sort of fertility treatment, including a total of 4 IUI’s…February was the last month of it all. At that visit I talked with my doctor and we both decided that enough is enough and agreed that February would be our last month of treatment. She did, however, want me to at least have a consult with a fertility specialist who deals with a certain type of infertility, so I agreed to have a consult with him and discuss our options, including IVF.
It is funny though because at that visit with my doctor, she did a sonogram and it showed this…
It looks like a peace sign, well an upside down peace sign, and my doctor was joking and saying maybe it was a sign – Haha. I thought there might be something to this “sign” but not in the same way my doctor was thinking.
For 2 years I’ve been praying for a baby and when it didn’t happen I was frustrated, disappointed, angry and every other emotion possible. So since around December I have no longer prayed for God to give us a baby but for God to make me OK with the fact that we won’t have our “own” baby.
I prayed for peace with the situation, that I would find peace in it and know that God was in control. So for me, the “peace” sign meant something else. I took it as a sign that this was God trying to give me peace with the situation and that we would build our family through adoption.
So we went ahead and did the last IUI and I went home, knowing that in a few weeks all the physical discomforts, drugs, etc that go along with infertility treatment would finally be over.
Today I went back to the doctor for a check up and some blood work, and left with another picture…this time it wasn’t a peace sign, it was a whole lot better!
Yep, that’s a baby….that’s our baby, Baby Blundy!! I’M PREGNANT! actually I should say those are our BABIES!!! We’re having twins!!!!!! So I guess that “peace” sign did mean something. Sometime in mid November we will get to introduce to you baby boy or girl Blundell. We are beyond excited and thank God everyday for this miracle, and all of you who have prayed for us and shared in our journey. It’s not over yet, but I can finally see a happy ending in sight.
