All You Need in Life

Very first post and I get an ignorant comment made by someone I 'don't know.' This is what this ignorant person said:
Get over it and be happy with what you have. You have a husband and a new house. It's obviously not the right time so get over it.
And to that I respond as follows:

The world could allow me to have all material things in life. I do have a brand new house. I do have brand new furniture. And all of these things are beautiful. And I am humbled every time I walk into my beautiful, brand new home. I am greeted with a magnificant hubby every single day with a kiss. We have the best time together. We make the most out of life. I could wish to have an even bigger home, with nicer things inside. I could have a brand new car with all the hookups. I could have the boats, the 4 wheelers, the vacation homes, the toys, the everything. No material thing in this world could ever make me happy like being a mother could.

Motherhood - The Highest and Noblest of Work in this Life!
Elder Russell M. Nelson on motherhood:
“During my professional career as a doctor of medicine, I was occasionally asked why I chose to do that difficult work. I responded with my opinion that the highest and noblest work in this life is that of a mother. Since that option was not available to me, I thought that caring for the sick might come close. I tried to care for my patients as compassionately and competently as Mother cared for me.
Many years ago the First Presidency issued a statement that has had a profound and lasting influence upon me. “Motherhood,” they wrote, “is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to the angels.
Because mothers are essential to God’s great plan of happiness, their sacred work is opposed by Satan, who would destroy the family and demean the worth of women.” Russell M. Nelson, “Our Sacred Duty to Honor Women,” Ensign, May 1999, 38

"Motherhood is near divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind."
Guess what? I am medically unable to be a mother. I don't get to hold that service. I don't get a choice to say 'ok, I want to be a mom now.' I would trade every home, every furniture, every posession I have just to hold that calling. If you have children 'annonomous' commenter, then shame on YOU.

If you have gone through this same thing, with doctors, procedures, medicine, THEN MAYBE you may have a say. But I think this comment was more focused on material things I have... and to that I as kindly as possible say

MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS!!!

And for those loving friends and loving family members who have encouraging thougts, I thank you so very much for your kind words and prayers. You don't know how much they mean to me.

This whole experience has made me more grateful for what I have in life because you never know who longs for what you have. And perhaps I should be more 'vocal' about what I am grateful for. But guess what? It's my blog. And if you don't like it, don't read it. So >:P!!!!

Background Story

When I was a teenager, I was diagnosed with PCOS. I had no idea what that meant until July 2008 when my hubs and I decided to start a family. We thought on our one year anniversary, August 2008, we would have a positive prego test for our present.

August came and to my surprise, Aunt Flo (AF) visited. September came and no AF. Much to my disappointment, no positive prego test. October came. Same thing. November. Same. December. Same. January came and I was fed up. I went to my dr and she gave me Provera to start AF along with Clomid. February 2009-January 2010 came and went with no success.

Let's throw a few unsuccessful Artifitial Insemenations into the mix. Let's throw in two sisters being pregnant, one sister-in-law pregnant, and one sister-in-law adopting. I was spent. We opted out of a third AI to save us the heartbreak. Sister number 1 just had her baby and my heart was broken. That should have been me in that hospital. The hubs knew my heartache and had a romantic bedroom set up that night. That's the night we conceived!! Yeah baby!

We were shocked. Happily shocked. We then decided to build a house. February 2010 could not get any better. A baby on the way and a house in construction. March 9,2010 I was having some trouble and decided to go to the dr. No heartbeat. March 10,2010 I had a D&C and my baby was gone. The upside to all that was getting my percocets! lol Just kidding.

We are now on Femara and boy am I hormonal and emotional. We will be going through AI #3 next week and are hopeful with that 'procedure' coupled with Femara things will work. We have decided if it doesn't work, then we are done...for now. We will never quit. But to go on to the next step, we need somewhere around $20,000 to go through In Vitro Fertilization.

That's our infertile story in a nut shell.
