Is it a boy or a girl?

Tomorrow is the big day. We go for our Level II ultrasound and hope to find out at this time what we are having. It really doesn’t matter to me what it is as long as it is healthy. Dawn is hoping for a girl. Either way we are almost half way to the day we meet our little one for the first time. Seems like a long time from now but if the last half of the pregnancy goes by as fast as the first half, it will be here before we know it.

God's Plan

Many of you know about the long journey that we have been on for the past 5 years. For those of you that do not, it has been the journey towards having / adopting a child. I won’t go through the years of details but the abridged version is we tried for almost a year to get pregnant with no luck. That disappointment led us to adoption and while that was promising in the beginning that too turned out to be quite the disappointment. Father time really wasn’t on our side as each year passed, we got a year older. With that constant reminder and the fact that I could not accept the fact that we would not have a child, we decided to try a fertility specialist. Dawn agreed to 6 times and that was it. After that, I would need to accept the fact that we would be a family of two. While things were a lot like a roller coaster ride for most of our baby journey, I now see that God had a plan for us and his plan was to happen on his time. After two attempts, I am happy to say that I am 18 weeks pregnant and am due August 17. We are so excited. This has been a long road but one I wouldn’t change for anything in the world.

I caved!

Ok so I have finally caved into the "blog" world. I am a fan of reading other's blogs but never thought I would have the desire to do my own. Guess I have never felt comfortable enough with my own "writing" and I often wondered what I would write about. Who would read it? Would it have purpose or meaning? These are the things that have discouraged me from creating one up until this point. I am going to give it a shot and see what happens. Until next time....
