When Ray and I first started dating, the topic of more children was talked about. My friends warned me that this was a serious question to ask if I eventually wanted more kids, considering he is a little older than me. And, hands down, we both agreed that more children one day is in our plans. Fast forward to about September of this year. I have been having serious baby envy of all my friends. And by all my friends, I mean ALL my friends. Everyday, I hear of someone new that is pregnant. And I cant count how many are already pregnant, or have just had babies. Its everywhere! And so it begins. I am a true believer that God does not put a desire in your heart for no reason. If He is giving me the desire to be a mom again, He is preparing me for when the times comes. And the preparation just keeps on coming. :)
After Mady was born, I had an IUD put in. A 5 year one. So, it wasnt due to come out until Nov 2012. In October, I started having some cramping and discomfort and made an appointment with my dr. My IUD had caused a slight irritation and infection, and the dr recommended that it come out. She took it out right then and there. I went home with a one dose prescription of antibiotics to kick the infection, and a follow up appointment for the following month. She said we can put another IUD in at that time or seek out other birth control. When I told Ray the game plan, he looked at me and said, God sure does shout when He has plans. It took me a moment to understand what he was talking about. In 4 years, I havent had any problems with my IUD. Ive actually loved having it with no worries. And all of a sudden, out of nowhere, my dr decides its best to take it out. Hello God. We hear you :) You are so clearly answering our question as to when the right time to start trying is. So we decided against having another IUD put in, and also decided against seeking out another form of birth control. For the first time in 4 years. I feel naked! But trusting God every step of the way.
