Feeling Normal, Finally!

I'm finally feeling "normal" again.  Still in some pain from the hernia surgery and new hardware in its place, but overall I feel a ton better.  I'm actually feeling the best I've felt in more than a year.  I am feeling like I'm getting my life back overall. 

I gave up soda about two weeks ago and I feel so much better.  Chris is on a major diet and it's helping me eat better too.  We are also trying to walk more to give the pooches exercise.  We are trying to get into a healthy lifestyle both physically and mentally. 

We have a lot to be thankful for.  We do ask you to keep us in prayer this Friday as we go back to our fertility specialist for a checkup and to hear what our choices are.  Doctor Homm did not find what he was hoping for.  He says my ovaries are extremely small.  That means a lot, but to simplify it means conceiving will be even more difficult that we thought.  But do not feel bad for us, please.  Chris and I are in a great place mentally.  WE KNOW God has a plan.  It may not include biological children, but we know He has a plan.  Sometimes realizing God is in control and you're not at the wheel is the most liberating thing in the world.  I have recently come to grips with this reality and I am such a happier person.  God is good. 

I also heard about a young woman who miscarried today and I ask that you keep her and her family in your prayers.  This is a horrible thing in which many couples experience in silence.  If I could give any young couple advice before conceiving, it would be that infertility is something a lot of people experience.  It's not something to be ashamed of.  I have found so much comfort in letting my family and friends know.  Their love and kindness has helped more than any of them will ever know. 

I will post about our doctor's visit this weekend.  Until then enjoy the sunshine as Spring is finally here.  XOXO.
