Hi - Remember me? This is the continued saga of the parental pursuit of Mr. and Mrs. J.
We traveled down the hightech baby highway only to come across a dead end. Literally. Ok, figuratively. Anyway, didn't work.
I would like to say we are tan, rested and ready to try again but the truth is we are pale (it is winter), tired and are ready to try something new. We are nothing if not persistant. We have spent the last nine months or so contemplating our next step. Would we try one more IVF - deal with the drugs, the pain and the possible heartache or maybe something less invasive like a couple of IUI's (the doctors less than 5% chance of success he gave us quickly answered that) or maybe we would just continue to try on our own? Afterall, we did get pregnant (albeit briefly) on our own. Mr. J and I talked a lot. We cried a lot. We prayed a lot. It seemed everywhere I turned there were signs of a different direction and we ignored them over and over. Then one day, my mother-in-law e-mailed me one of those "if you don't send it on e-mails something very bad will happen" - ok, I love those and always e-mail them along. Where was I? Oh yeah, my MIL sent me an e-mail - I didn't think too much of it but at the bottom there was this little quote,"If God leads you to it, He will lead you through it." It was right then I knew - all the signs were there - God had been answering my prayers I just refused to listen (imagine that). Our child was out there (maybe not even born yet) but he or she is there, somewhere.
