If it be Thy will.

When we first decided to try IVF (Invitro Fertilization) again, it brought back a flood of emotions. Was I strong enough to handle the hormones? Would I be hospitalized like last time? Would it work? Or did our "luck" run out with Emma? Would we spend $18,000 for positive or negative results?

With our doubts and questions came fervent and pleading prayer.

And each prayer began with "If it be Thy will..."

Because if I learned anything through my IVF cycle with Emma, it was that I needed to have faith in Heavenly Father's plan for me, and not in the outcomes.

As children of God, knowing of His great love and His ultimate knowledge of what is best for our eternal welfare, we trust in Him. The first principle of the gospel is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and faith means trust. - Dallin H. Oaks

This time around we have been VERY blessed to have our will align with the Lord's. As we got wonderful news this morning that the IVF worked and I am pregnant again.

I won't feel "out of the woods" until I hold that precious baby in my arms. Especially as women with PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) have a higher rate of miscarriage.

But this is a great start.

The baby is due on Emma's birthday - January 11th (poor child). We won't know if it is a singular baby or plural babies for another few weeks.

Thanks for all your prayers and support. We are THRILLED to say the least.
