What a week!

Sunday started off great, we got 3-4 inches of snow in Alabama!! Matt, Rusty and I had a great time playing in the snow.




Later in the week, Matt had to have some tests run because he has been really sick lately. The doctor discovered that Matt's gall bladder is "diseased" as is not working at all. He will be having it taken out this week and we are so glad. We are just so glad to know what has been causing him to be so sick and lose so much weight.

Today, my birthday, we discovered that once again we are not pregnant. Matt and I decided to start trying to have kids the moment we got married. Well, it has been a challenge to say the least. We had our first IUI (Intrauterine insemination) done last month and we just knew that we would be welcoming our first child in November. However, the Lord has other plans for us. I will soon have surgery for the doctors to check and see what exactly is wrong with my body. This has been a daily struggle, but I do have to say that it has brought Matt and I so much closer. I feel like every month I let him down and disappoint him, although he assures me that I don't. I can't ask Why?? because I know that our prayers for a child will be answered. Right now, we just ask that you pray for us and that we continue to put this in God's hands.

Sorry for such a Debbie Downer post, I just really needed to vent and this is the only way I knew to do that. I have though had a great 31st birthday!! It is crazy to think that I am 31, but so nice to be able to spend it with such a wonderful and devoted husband. I am so blessed.

Oh Leigh! I had no idea that you were having trouble getting pregnant. I'll be sure to pray for you during this trial. Although I didn't have trouble getting pregnant, I had trouble staying pregnant and miscarried twice before we had Mary Margaret. I know how it hurts.

On another note, I hope you had a very Happy Birthday!!!!

Leigh,
I hope you know I still consider you a friend and I am so sorry that you are hurting. I will be praying for you. You were always so sweet and kind and one day a child will be very lucky to call you "mom"!

Your blog sounds very familiar...down to finding out on your birthday you were not pregnant. I pray the surgery will give you some much needed answers. You know you can email or call if you ever need to vent or talk. I don't have all the answers either, but can lend an ear or sympathize. Stay strong!
