Over the past year Jeff and I have defiantly had our ups and downs, but lately I’ve realized how lucky we truly are. Some of Gods greatest gifts truly are unanswered prayers. A little over a year ago Jeff and I decided to start taking the baby making seriously. We’d been ‘not trying/not preventing’ since we got married but hadn’t taken any steps to actually make things happen. I was discouraged when things didn’t go our way and we weren’t pregnant by our one year anniversary, and although we aren’t even pregnant now I know, in His time I will be. Over the past year Jeff and I have grown so incredibly close, we’ve had a lot of fun and matured a lot also. We’ve got our finances in line and have paid off an incredible amount of debt which a year ago wouldn’t have been even thinkable. Honestly, we weren’t financially ready to start a family a year ago but my dream of becoming a mom and family over threw that thought. I know for that reason it’s truly a blessing God has made us wait so long, we’ve even been discussing me being a SAHM or part-time mom when the time comes. Jeff and I also have grown closer and have had a lot of fun. We were just discussing the other day how we aren’t a ‘normal’ couple…we don’t get home from work, kiss each other hello, eat dinner and do our own thing-we’re always doing stupid, fun things together. Like last night, I got home and had to work on some choreography for the dance classes I’m teaching. I needed Jeff’s opinion on some moves and we ending up making up some pretty funny moves along with trying to figure out how the people on music video’s ‘pop’. Lol It’s makes me laugh just thinking about it. At those times I realize we most likely wouldn’t be doing these things if we had a little baby crawling around our house. Now, needless to say I can’t wait to become a mom, to see what our son/daughter looks like or to hear them say Mommy. However-I’ve learned to be thankful and enjoy the time when it’s just the two of us, when we can do whatever, whenever. I know His plan is perfect for us and when the time comes for us become parents all this waiting will be worth it and we’ll be thankful for the time he gave us.
Side note:Jeff also had his first baby dream last night. I’ve been having them forever and they range from Jeff and I having kids to me finding a baby on the street and raising it as our own (strange, I know). Jeff woke up this morning and said he had a dream that all of a sudden we had a baby and it was ‘brand new-like still had the crap on it and stuff’ (his words, lol) and he took care of the baby, bathed it, fed it, took it shopping. Haha-I thought that was pretty funny….hopefully it’s a sign for good things to come!

What a awesome post! Thank you for sharing. I feel very similar about my husband and how far we have come together on this infertility journey and I dont think we are normal either ( in a good way of course) God is soooo good the way He knows our hearts and finds us the perfect soul mate!
I try to think when we do things like take vacations, sleep in late, that although I want to be a mommy so bad ( like yourself) we wouldnt be able to do those things so easily if we had children now so just learning to enjoy today instead of worrying about tomorrow has been my greates lesson with IF.
Anyways just wanted to say thank you for sharing!
Wow! I think its awesome that Jeff had a baby dream!!!!! You guys are going to be great parents! You are right, God does have a perfect plan and I just know that someday you will be parents. Sometimes I just wish God's time could move a little quicker!
Yes I agree with you. As much as I would like to be a mother, I really appreciate our alone time and the fun activities we couldn't do if we had kids. I guess its good to cherish this times with my main squeeze because the time alone with him is short.
