This weekend we found out that our last IUI treatment resulted in a Negative Pregnancy Test.
The last couple of days were filled with a lot of tears, prayers & discussions about what is next !?!
As of now we have decided to proceed with another IUI treatment...we feel as of today...it likely will be our last IUI. At the same time when we go in to start the process we are going to meet with the IVF Financial Advisor. Our plan with that is to gain more information on the IVF process and the finances of it all. We are also going to start educating ourselves on domestic Adoption. We've decided that no matter what happens with this next treatment we need to diligently prepare for what could be our next steps.
If I'm being really honest all of the above options really scare me...intimidates me...but at the same time we have seen and experienced miracles and know that God is a God who will continue to do miracles, we just have to trust in His path for us.
A couple of weeks ago at Kidzlife they played a clip from Prince of Egypt and it has stuck with me since. It was the scene where Moses and the other Hebrews had made it to the Red Sea and the Egyptians were gaining on them. But then God parted the sea and the Hebrews started their journey across to the other side...free from Pharaoh's reign...on their way to God's promise for them. But that isn't even the part that blew my mind. Growing up all the flannel graph pictures and children's Bibles you see them walking on a flat & straight path through the sea. In this movie it shows the jagged ground, the small cliffs they had to jump off of, strong winds that made it hard to even walk...you could even see whales as they walked by. As I reflected on this scene I kept hearing God say "My son & daughter I am with you" ...even though this road isn't smooth or how we thought God would answer...it doesn't mean that you aren't on the right path...sometimes it means you are on The path! That connection, sure I've made it before but God chose the perfect time to bring it back to surface for us.
So here we go and thank you so much for your many prayers, words of encouragement and I simply can't wait to tell our futures babies about the amazing community...really family that we are apart of. We love you guys!
