As you may have heard, Nat is pregnant so its obviously been a touchy, full-of-judgement topic around here (having been married longer than her and being 2 1/2 years older.) Anyway, you are awesome and the Lord is just preparing you to be able to receive the amazing blessings ahead :)Kambria Smith Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954982121281449049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302216566823815862.post-16197135354387971822011-10-03T13:20:37.348-07:002011-10-03T13:20:37.348-07:00I have endometriosis which can also make it diffic...I have endometriosis which can also make it difficult to get pregnant. When my husband and I tried for another we had to go to the doctor for meds because I wasn't ovulating. The first round of meds just made cysts on my ovaries HUGE and pretty painful... but no viable eggs. The next month we added another medication. The cysts got larger but we had eggs! ... then nothing happened. I ovulated, but nothing took. :( Trying to get pregnant makes us women put so much pressure on ourselves to be "perfect" in all the ways we can (don't stress, eat right, get enough sleep, excersise, blah, blah, blah). The more we tried and nothing happened, the more discouraged and stressed about it I became. My husband and I decided to take a month or two... or more, off the medications. In addition to all the doctor visits, it was getting expensive. Then the very month we stopped trying we got pregnant. It's bitter sweet though. I'm very happy to have another; it's what we want!!! But I feel so nervous about anything that can go wrong that I'm not letting myself get too excited because I fear being let down. Sad, right? I think so! <br /><br />All that being said, I agree that the added focus, pressure and stress I put on myself to succeed did nothing put hurt our chances. And even now that I'm pregnant I still focus more on my children that are here with me NOW than I do about the one that is on the way. I feel blessed and grateful to be pregnant. I will feel 1,000,000% better once the baby is here, healthy, and thriving, because then the stress will lift. <br /><br />All, I can say is: YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING!! Continue to focus on your husband and you children here with you. The ones waiting will come. Who knows when, but they will. You love your children so incredibly much and focusing on them will do nothing but help them and help you! You're an amazing mother and if you continue what you are doing, the puzzle pieces will eventually fall into place. :)Amanda and David Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641679425975982039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302216566823815862.post-88450722280555661032011-10-03T13:10:50.950-07:002011-10-03T13:10:50.950-07:00I loved that talk, too.
