WAITING FOR OUR LITTLE MIRACLE...BABY NOAH :)

OUR STORY OF HOW WE GOT TO THIS WONDERFUL PLACE IN OUR LIVES... Brian and I wanted to be married for a while before we decided to have children. So after being married for a couple years, we decided to start trying. We thought that getting pregnant would be easy, but low and behold it was probably the biggest test of our relationship with eachother and our relationship with God. I only tell this story because going through this was extremly hard for us, yet we thought we were the only ones because it seems like nobody talks about the bad, just the good. So I tell this story to maybe help out others having a tough time, because in the end the result is so amazing how God worked in both of our lives through it all. To make a long story short, we basically were off birth control for about a year and a 1/2. While we have been actively trying to get pregnant for about 5 months, my period dropped off the deep end. We ended up going to the doctor where he put me on fertility medicine, as he told us there was no way that we would get pregnant. He put me on Clomid for 4 months. Each month uping the dose, because each month my body failed to ovulate. This was tough for me, because I did not know what was wrong with my body, for crying out loud I was only 27 years of age (my eggs should not be acting this old)! Each month we had to do a blood test to check for ovulation and each time, my numbers were very low, meaning I never ovulated. In the last month he had to put me on the highest dose of clomid. I began to have problems,like weight gain and pressure, so Brian and I went to see the doctor and he ended up doing an ultrasound to find I had cysts on both ovaries the size of a fist. Of course Brian and I were scared and upset, as the doctor told us we had to go off all fertility for 6 weeks. Since we had now been trying to get pregnant for a year, we basically had to stop trying and take a break. We were so upset and asked God why this now? As all of us question God, he always has a plan. 6 weeks later we went back to the doctor and the cyst had gone down, so we were ready for the next plan of action, but the doctor wasn't. He wanted us to see a fertility specialist, since I had reacted to the fertility medicine badly. Again we had to wait, so we made an appointment. Well Brian and I looked at this waiting period as an emotional break that we needed. Low and behold during all this time, God had his plan. During this break is when we concieved our little baby boy, Noah. While we were coming home from a trip from Brian's hometown in Greenwood, I was up all night with just a wierd feeling that I might be pregnant, which I knew I should not get my hopes up just like everyother time. On the way home I told Brian to stop so we could buy a test. He really didn't want to, as he did not want us to get our hopes knocked down once again, but he agreed to get one. Right when we got home I asked Brian if he was ready as he replied, "right now?" I laughed and said yes I can't wait. Brian was the first to see the test and he replied, "it can't be, there is no way, that can't be positive!" (We did not know what a positive test looked like as we had just seen so many negative tests!) 7 WEEKS PREGNANT IN MEXICO! Words cannot express how happy we were jumping up and down, with tears running down our face, but "God is Good!" We were tested so many times in that year, but our faith only grew stronger and we only grew closer together. As tough as it was, God has his plan and he will always come through, not sometimes how we want him to, but in his time. Brian and I can't express how excited we are for our little baby Noah to make his entrance into our lives and our family. We can't wait to touch him, meet him, and kiss his little tiny hands all over. All we can say is GOD IS GOOD, HE IS SO GOOD!
