Fertile Thoughts: The anniversary of my pregnancy

The anniversary of my pregnancy

Today is the anniversary of my pregnancy!!! Can you believe a whole year has past. It is actually the first day of my cycle that I conceieved on last year. Of course that means I started the day off crying about things but since then I have been o.k. I went out to breakfast with Dh and family to celebrate and I splurged...YUM! I really don't have much else to say about all this because it just brings back to much pain and precious memories.
Baby Hope, please pray for your Mommy and Daddy that we may have the grace to be joyful while carrying our cross of infertility...Amen

Praying for you girls!

I wasn't going to mention it, but I was thinking about you today b/c I did notice a long time ago that you and I shared this cycle in a lot of ways. Nov. 8 LMP date; conceived this cycle; ultrasound showing no heartbeat just before Christmas (my blood work came back on Dec. 23, later confirmed), miscarriage in January, etc. I know Baby Hope is praying for you.

By the way, I ask Sam and Nicky to pray for me all the time. I think they were powerful intercessors for me on Friday. Your baby has a beautiful name!
