This weekend K and I ended up going camping. It was so great to get away – just the two of us. Even for just one night. We had a campfire, roasted marshmallows, and hotdogs, read, swam and just relaxed and enjoyed time together! The weather forecast called for thunderstorms so we packed up while we were still dry and went home a day early.
Then, last night we finally had the opportunity to talk to K’s parents about what we’ve been going through. What a huge relief! We wanted to tell them for a while – but we were both too nervous and scared to even bring it up with them! After a much needed reminder about how we should pray even for the littlest things – I began to pray for an opportunity to talk to them. And sure enough last night – the perfect opportunity came and it went SO GOOD! Better than I could have imagined! K’s mom was so sweet and encouraging and promised us she would be a “prayer warrior” on our behalf. : )
(I have to admit – it was pretty funny to be talking about my periods and K’s sperm with his parents!)
Then I came home and saw that Courtney put up a new post on Praying for a Little One! I am so thankful – more than words can say –for the prayers and support that I have received through the “blog world”!!!
One friend sent me this quote:
"No baby is brought into the world with so many prayers
than a baby that is born after infertility”
It is so true!!!
So thank you to all of you who are praying with my husband and I!
Today I feel so full of hope and so overwhelmed with gratitude!

So glad y'all were able to have some time together this weekend!! And that the talk went so well with his parents. I love that quote, and it is soooo true!! We had so many friends and family praying for Henry, and you can just tell they have a special connection with him because they prayed for him for so long. I'm so thankful that Henry was covered in prayer long before he was even conceived.
I'm new to your blog and love it already.
I'm glad that you were about to talk to the parents! My husband and I were SO nervous and unsure about whether or not to share our infertility struggle with either set of our parents. We ended up doing it. Ours were a big support (like yours seem to be!). They are our "prayer warriors". It is so nice to know that someone is constantly praying on your behalf :)
I'm praying for you! I've read Courtney's blog forever and I have a miracle baby after 2 cycles of IVF and I just wanted to say that I know what you are going through and it is hard and awesome at the same time. I wouldn't change a second of our journey. Check out my blog - I didn't keep up with it after I got pregnant . . . I was too scared that it wasn't real and if I wrote it down I would wake up!! And also I knew how bad it hurt to read about pregnancys when it wasn't my turn . . . I wish I had kept up with it now.
the blog address is www.theinfertilejourney.blogspot.com
reading your blog is very encouraging! a lot of what you are thinking is what i am thinking right now. praying for this IVF!
