Just wanted to say hi and let you know that you have a new follower. God bless you and your sweet family!

I think that if you really want a child, you just accept what the Lord gives you. Coming from someone who has tried for nearly 10 years to achieve ANY pregnancy, you should be grateful that the Lord gives you any children at all Personally I’d be happy for whatever I’m given.

Becoming pregnant is a miracle in itself. The average healthy couple (meaning both parents repro systems work properly) has a 20% chance each month at becoming pregnant.

We’ve tried everything in “the book”, had countless medical tests, spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on treatments, and ultimately given it over to the Lord…

If you’re not pregnant in 6 months get both of you tested… start with your CPA… he’s the cheapest and easiest test.

And don’t worry about gender… pray for the healthy spirit intended for your family.

Inky Smiles!

Erin G´s last blog post..Thoughts for Thursday: Creativity

Anya – hmm… that’s a good question and one that I don’t know the answer to. Why, are you guys trying?

WofO – nope, not yet. Silly sis – don’t you know I’d call you right away?

M of TTDA – so sweet… you always say just the perfect thing!

Of my four living children, I’m close to all of them. I know this is a bit unusual but oh what a wonderful blessing to me!!! Granted, each is very unique and different but loving and close none the same. I do have to say though, that my girls and I have a particularly close woman-to-woman/Mother-daughter relationship that is beyond words of description. I love being with them, talking to them on the phone, laughing with them, playing/shopping with them, think of them always, have them in my heart every moment, you get the idea.

My boys and I have a really close relationship as well, but both are married and their wives come first as it should be. That doesn’t take away from our close relationship but adds to it and enriches both our personal relationship and I know it adds to their relationahip with their wives because they are such caring and loving Fathers and husbands. I truly believe they are this way in part due to the great relationship we have as Mother/son.

Now back to daughters: nothing beats having girls. From the moment they’re placed in your arms and you get to buy the first dress and pink ribbons for them….you’re heart is tied to them. Heavenly Father plants in each of our hearts the recognition of understanding one another so well.

What you and the CPA try in order to have a girl first is totally up to the two of you. I KNOW Heavenly Father has both of you in mind and will send just the special child to you that you’re dreaming of – whether it’s a boy or a girl! You’ll love this child and treasure every moment you will have together.
