dress: old navy ($7) necklace: ebay
This last weekend we went to the same place in Wisconsin where we spent this weekend in October. That weekend in October was wonderful but it was also filled with lots of emotions, as it was the start of our final round of fertility treatments for awhile.
The days that we were there were the start of a new round of shots and hormones and all the emotions that came with it. Fear, anxiety, excitement, and hope.
One morning this weekend I stood in the bathroom getting ready, thinking how 7 months before I was giving myself a shot, praying that this would be the time that would give us our baby. There was something surreal about being in that same place 7 months later with a healthy baby growing inside of me.
I know many trials aren't entirely healed by time, but this one thankfully was. Time passed and here we are two months away from meeting our sweet baby girl. What a difference those 7 months makes and what a different place I am in now.
Praising God for giving me this baby, for allowing time to heal my heart and for reminding me to trust in God's perfect timing.
Yay for God'd perfect timing! So glad he has a plan in those moments I have no idea what I'm doing!
