We knew shortly after Emery was born when we were supposed to try to add to our family, it was sooner than we had planned but we both knew and could't deny it. I posted previously about my experience with my Granma dying, in it I mentioned that I asked her to do me a favor and take care of our babies that were supposed to come to our family and send them WHEN IT WAS THEIR TIME. At that point we had been trying for a baby for a while and knew for some reason that it would be a while. Months passed, a year passed, more time passed and no baby. "Infertility" is a hard thing, but we never felt bitter or angry because we knew that Granma would keep her promise and send our baby when it was the right time.
We were coming up on the two year mark of trying for a baby when we thought that there was a chance I was pregnant. We didn't want to get our hopes up too much, we had just had the week of Grandpa-Great in the hospital, him dying and his funeral, but I felt like I knew that this time I was pregnant. We came home from Idaho and finally got up the courage to go and buy a pregnancy test.
It is all in the Lord's timing. He knows exactly when we need things and how to make a sad time in our lives happier. We were sooooo excited that we finally got to add to our family! We gave Em these pajamas shortly after, but told her that they said "Emery is the cutest" when she asked.
Another little story to go with this, I am not a very patient person. I am constantly praying to Heavenly Father to help me work on my patience. Shortly after the new year I was praying and thinking about things I wanted to work on, I thought about this and started to cry, I realized that I had been ignoring the biggest way Heavenly Father had been trying to teach me patience. It was just a couple of weeks later I found out that I was (am) pregnant.
We are so delighted for this little GIRL to join our family and when we finally told Emery she was stoked!
Enjoy the Journey.
