The A Team

Well, we got the much anticipated news this afternoon, and we are not pregnant. We are of course sad and hurting. We don't know what is next, but will continue to trust God by faith for our future. We will have to make some decisions in the next day or so about whether to try right away again or wait. Please pray for God's wisdom and discernment as we figure out what's next.

Even though we are hurting deeply and we don't understand or like all of this, I keep thinking about a few words that have been on my mind this summer. God brings these words to mind often and I know he is using His word and these words to bring peace and hopefully understanding, during this time. Surrender, Praise and hope. (More on these words another day) :)

I found out the news right before going into jury selection today. Thankfully, I was able to hold it together in front of 60 strangers. On a good note, After almost 5 hours of blah, blah, blah, I was not chosen to be on the jury. :)

One of the nice things about IVF is the potential to have left over embryos that can be frozen for later use. Alfonso and I were blessed to be able to freeze three embryos.

We are excited to tell you that we are about to under go an embryo transfer. I have such a wide range of emotions as we move through this process. Mostly, I am excited and hopeful. At the same time, I am fearful or anxious of the "what ifs" of another pregnancy. Those "What ifs" of life can kill you and definitely steal any joy and peace for the moment, so I am praying and trying to take things one day at a time.

The transfer will be on Saturday, August 21st at 11am. Then I will "rest" at home for a few days. 9 days later, we will find out if we are pregnant! Sounds so simple, huh? Well, it has been a lot less complicated than last time (minus all the hormones I've been shoving down for the past 3 weeks) :)

We really appreciate all of you...your friendships, love and prayers. We are truly honored and blessed to have such great family and friends who are walking alongside us in this journey.
Please pray for a successful transfer and a positive pregnancy test. Please pray with us for God's will and glory in this process. He is a God that we can trust....So Here we go!
