My Boys

The past few days I have been in awe of how big my boys are getting. Logan is 3 and Luke will be 1 in 7 days! It seriously seems like yesterday when Dustin and I were trying to have a baby and were unsuccessful for 4 1/2 years. Then the Lord provided and we got pregnant with Logan. I was so thankful for Logan and for being able to get pregnant. I felt that if the Lord decided to bless us again with another child then that would be great but I was just so thankful to have been pregnant and to have given birth to a healthy baby boy.

Dustin and I decided to start trying to get pregnant when Logan was a little over a year old. We didn't know if we would be blessed again with another baby but we thought we would try. After deciding it was time, we got so busy with life and didn't REALLY start trying. We talked again and figured we would wait until after the first of the year and get serious about it. God had another plan.

I had gone to the doctor for my regular yearly check up and began talking about another baby and asked some questions and so on. Again, wouldn't you know it that the very next month (to our surprise) I was in the doctor's office again and this time I was pregnant! What an amazing gift and now we have our Luke. They say that after struggling trying to get pregnant and then finally getting pregnant, most women are able to get pregnant again without any trouble because your body now knows what it is supposed to do. I am living proof of that!

It touched my heart to reminise about my boys. Again, they are getting so big. Logan is talking like crazy and some of the things he says are hilarious. Luke is now pretty much walking all over and also starting to talk a bit. Both boys just LOVE each other. They are best friends and Dustin and I couldn't be happier. Right now as I type this the boys are playing together and it is just precious to watch.

I meant for this post to go in another direction but it didn't and that is O. K. By remembering all of this, I am able to see how truly blessed Dustin and I are with our family. Our issues with infertility were so hard to deal with (especially for me!). I know that there are so many other couples out there who are dealing with the same thing. My heart truly goes out to them. I pray that I never forget what it felt like to want a baby so bad and it not happen right away. Please think about people you know that may be experiencing infertility in some way or another. Keep them in your prayers and be sensitive to them. Also, let them know that you care about them. There is nothing you can say that will make them feel better, but just being there for them will help.
