Week 5

Welcome. I wanted to start this blog as a journal and a keepsake for the baby. My husband and I are finally expecting our second child after suffering 12 years with PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome). I used to think that there was no hope but here we are and this is where we jump on for the bumpy road called pregnancy.

I am only 4 weeks and 6 days but that is still monumental for me. I am anxious about the 6 week check-up, including the ultrasound but faithful that God is going to bring the baby and I thru this.

Some may ask why we waited 13 years for another child. Well the answer to that is only that we didn't wait that long. I was diagnosed shortly after trying to conceive when our son was 1 year old. I was told to loose weight. I was told that with as many cysts as I had, there would be no chance. I took all of the medicines that I was given. I made sure that I was counting days and that I was checking mucous and I surly watched what I ate.

There were times that I just gave up. During these hard and dark moments, God was working on me and my husband. You see he is a recovering alcoholic. I am proud of his recovery in the recent year. My brother was KIA 9/7/07 in Mosul, Iraq and there was another stress that was compounding the ongoing issues I was already facing.

I say all of this just to get it out in the open and let you know that WE ARE FINALLY PREGNANT! We are ecstatic. We are grateful to our Lord. For his word says:

Therefore I say to you; whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you will receive them and that you will have them. Mark 10:4
