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.
