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.
