First Post... Our Story, well the short version.

I have been telling my sister for months now that I wanted to start a blog so here goes....

My husband and I just celebrated our second year anniversary and are still madly in love with one another. We live in a little nothing town in Cali. My husband is a Microsoft systems admin and I am a housewife or as my grandma puts it... domestic engineer lol. We have two dogs that are very much part of the family. And here is where we get to the part that will be the focus of this blog...

My husband and I have been actively trying to conceive for almost two years. We started TTC in March of 2012 just a month after we wed. My dreams of a big family began to grow dull with the passing months. It seemed like everyone around us was getting pregnant on "accident" and here we were wondering if our stork got drunk and lost our address. After months of being asked "well are you trying", 100s of prayers and lots and lots of "baby dancing", there it was... TWO LINES!!!Thank you Jesus!  Jan 14, 1013 we found out I was 6 weeks. I had never been so excited. But our excitement turned to shock and disbelief 7 short weeks later. At our 13 week apt we were told our baby had passed and would miscarry naturally. I felt all my hopes and happiness disappear, my faith diminish. We mourned the loss of our baby for weeks. (Our miscarriage story is so full of Gods grace and I will post it fully later on). In July 2013 God opened our eyes and hearts to foster care and we began the certification process. After months of paperwork, classes, and inspections we became foster certified in November 2013. We have yet to get a placement but have been assured that we are next in line. And so we wait.

In the mean time God has not closed the door to having our own children. We are still TTC and I have recently had an apt with my ob where she expressed she fears I do not ovulate. She has scheduled labs to run some tests to see what we can do to get pregnant.

We have FAITH that God will fill our nest, weather it be by foster children, adoption or pregnancy.
