Please pray

After much prayer between Rich and I and much prayer from many friends, Rich and I have decided to go ahead with the Lap. I will have it done tomorrow at 10:00am. I would appreciate prayers. I will possibly have three procedures done... the lap, another hystosalapingography and a hystoscope. If she finds any blockages she will laser the scar tissue and if there are any polyps or cysts she will remove them. I will have to have a breathing tube and I have never had one of those. I think that is what I am the most nervous about. I hear that the gas that they extend your pelvic area with is the worst part. My doctor (I love her sooo much, she is just great!!) told me to expect three to five days for recovery. I have the rest of the week off and Rich is home to take over with the house and kids. I hope and pray that my recovery is quick! Please pray that all goes well and that all blockages/cysts/polyps will be able to be taken care of. I know that many of my wonderful friends will be praying for me, I will be thinking of that tomorrow. I will update as soon as I can manage to make it back on here!!

No magic




The was lots of magic at Walt Disney World but none in our room! Sharing a room with three kids and full days in the park leading to falling into bed at night from exhaustion did not leave much room for BDing! There was no magic going on there!

So AF showed up today, as I knew she would and now I would appreciate your prayers. Rich & I have to make a decision about having a lap done this cycle. If we go ahead, then we need to commit to another 6 months or so of TTC and we were supposed to be done at the end of this year. Studies show that if there is a 6 year or more difference between your youngest and your baby that the baby is raised as essentially an only child. That is not what we want for our family. Our kids are 10, 8, and 6, I just wonder if there is to much of an age difference. We want a sibling for our other children, not an only child. I am really, really struggling with this decision. I wonder if the scaring is God’s natural birth control… I just don’t know what to do. I would appreciate any prayers today. We have to let the clinic know what our decision is today.

We have been praying about this for a while, and I still don’t see a clear answer. Please pray for clarity for both of us so that we know that we are making a decision that will honor the Lord and will be the best decision for our family.
