Join us on our journey as I learn how to be a doctor and a wife, long to be a mother, and seek out God's plan in it all.

Our Journey
01/07 - Decide to start trying. Assumed we would have a baby in October. Saw my OB/GYN who told me to call him in a few months when we were pregnant.
03/07 - Started charting using basal body temps and "tried harder". Had a period every month, 28th day, like clock-work.
01/08 - Realized something must be wrong and returned to my doc's office.
02/08 - Sperm analysis (SA) shows 0% morphology, everything else normal. Failed independent adoption days after finding out SA results.
03/08 - Repeat (SA) still with 0% morphology. Heath goes to a urologist who finds no abnormalities. Erin has bloodwork - all normal.
05/08 - First appt with Reproductive Endocrinologist. We were told we would only get pregnant through IVF. Tried for financing - weren't approved.
08/08 - Awaiting decision from birth mother about independent adoption #2.
09/08 - Failed adoption #2. Don't know where to turn next.
01/09 - Decide to foster, with the intention of adopting. Paperwork turned in and waiting for a home study
02/09 - Assigned a case worker, have a home study and told we will likely have a placement in May/June.
03/09 - Start DHS parenting classes. Home study begins. We're told we could have a placement this month!
04/09 - Sign our contract with DHS. Lots of waiting. Things not happening as quickly as we had hoped.
05/09 - hoping this will be the month...
05/08/09 - Take little J home with us. 5 days old and love at first sight!

Hang in there. You've got so much going on with work maybe God is waiting for that to settle. I can't imagine how one could manage your schedule while preggers, emotions running wild, and then with a newborn. Give it time. God has a plan.
Maybe you're supposed to go all Izzy on them and biotch them out? Maybe, perhaps? Oh that's not professional? Crap, my bad. I knew I wasn't cut out for the medical field.
Please tell me there was a twinge in the corner of your eye, like you kind of remember how to smile at my nonsense. That'd be good enough for me, because we all know I'd be off the handle right now if I were faced with your challenges.
You have strength and grace, because you are in the arms of Christ. He has not abandoned you and He will keep carrying you through.
Ouch! Stuff like that ALWAYS gets me good. God is definitely building you up. You're in my prayers.
