2010 is the Year for Babies, Baby ;)

A month has passed since our New Years goal of hitting the baby fund full force and saving like crazy. I have to be honest, I was a little nervous that I would be eating my words after enduring a hard month financially in January. I’m so grateful that when I can’t comprehend in my lil mind how we were going to cut back even more to put aside for our baby fund, God already had a plan. Tim and I are beaming from ear to ear because we are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO close to having all of our baby money saved up! We are 2/3 of the way there! I know a lot of people cringe at the idea that they need to be getting ready to file their taxes, but Praise God that he used this tax season to bless our household!
Now that we have saved up a majority of the money needed to have in vitro, we are making appointments to meet with our reproductive biologist to get more educated on the process. Hopefully they will be able to schedule an appointment in April. Usually you have to book an appointment three months out, so we’ve already started calling to try and get our appointment.
Even with an explanation from the doctors of the step by step process I get a clearer picture when I talk to people who have actually been through the procedure themselves. I am grateful to have a cousin in law who has gone through in vitro and has been so supportive and open to share her story with me. I also had a friend at church who introduced me to her close friend that had in vitro, so I will have someone else to relate to. I look forward to meeting with our doctor to learn more in depth about in vitro and what that entails for me and my body, but also to make the idea of getting pregnant seem more of a reality that is in the near future instead of a far off goal.
God is so good, He is GOOD INDEED!!
