Blessings Can Happen!

It has been so long since I've last blogged.  It's been such a surreal time for me.  After my last miscarriage I waited a few months and went right back into the infertility treatment regimen to get pregnant.  I had really grown to despise parts of the treatment.  The hormone shots! the yucky side effects, and the lack of results were really getting old.  At one point! I decided to take a break from the treatment.  It was actually nice not to have to be on such a regimen.  Furthermore,  was just not feeling well.  Interestingly, it was during this time that i was able to conceive!  I truly believe it was a combination of not being so stressed out about trying to get pregnant as well as my husband better managing his diabetes.

It was such a surprise to when I was five days late and took that pregnancy test to see a positive result.  Honestly, at that moment I was just elated that we conceived on our own without the meds.  It felt like a miracle!  I basically said that no matter what happens, we did it on our own.

Well, 23 weeks later I am still preggers and doing well!  It was a rough first trimesyer with morning sickness but I survived!  I knew from the start I am having a girl and sure enough we are! Can't say I've been completely confident that all is well considering my history with miscarriage but i am feeling pretty positive she will be okay

So, through all the hardships and the roller coaster experience of four miscarriages and infertility, blessings can occur!
