Holy Cats!!! I’m so excited… it’s coming up quick!
How to be a mom
It made me
soo happy 
"The best thing I have ever done in my life."
How I did it: Obviosly it's not a hard thing to accomplish because people have babies everyday. But for me the circumstances were a little different. I'm only 22 but when I was 15 doctors told me I probably wouldn't be able to have children. It was heartbreaking. I love kids, my niece and nephews have been spoiled by me for years. So last year when I found out I was pregnant I was in total shock. I was so happy but also scared. You never know what kind of parent you will be until you hold that tiny baby in your arms. (then there are a whole different set of worries) My son is almost four months old and today was my first day away from him, and when I came home and he heard my voice he got excited and smiled and cried for me. It melted my heart. That was worth all the 9 months of inconviences and the 16 hours of labor.
Lessons & tips: Make sure you are ready and have lots of outside help. Babies are a 24 hour job. Luckily my husband works and I get to stay home, but at the end of the day I am still ready for him to take over for a while.

Backround info; Husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for about 4 years now. We have tried it all. We had seen 2 specialist in CA; 1 who basically said unless you have money up front there is nothing I can do for you and the other while it gave us hope and he explained things it still left us without a baby. I began to hate life, I worked as a teacher and as you can imagine that only added to the fustration as what I saw as unfit parents dropped their kids off and picked them up an hour late yelling and screaming at them! Arrr.. Anyways My husbands parents began to attend this biker group, this Christian Biker group. They met every Tuesday and soon we started to join them. They changed my way of life and thinking. They were so welcoming and nice. They didn’t judge anyone, just loved everyone and shared the word of Jesus.
Soooo we started going to church and then felt led to move to TX! Something was telling us we had to get out of CA. So we took a week and said OK GOD if this is where we need to be then provide for us! And he did!! We had a place to live and jobs within two days! So we moved. And found an awesome church that we fit into. We are activily involved and love it. So still not pregnant I decided to look into yet another specailist, I found one but distance and other things stopped us from going. Then about 2 months later I said enough is enough I am not getting any younger and I want a baby!! So I called the Dr and what do you know they just moved their office right down the street from us! So we set up an appt. And said this is an action visit we are going to do treatment! We had some money put away not much though, so when he told us the price of doing an IUI we decided ok no more eating out for the next month but lets do it! The cost was thought to be about 2500, now we had to time it right, I needed to come in for monitoring visits, every other day for 2 weeks, then have 2 days off, plus then I’d be pregnant. THANK GOD my boss has 4 weeks off and is flexible in his schedule (I am a nanny/home school teacher) but we couldn’t start treatment until mother nature showed her face. Thank GOD again she showed up on the first, I started treatments right away and we had no timing issues. They Meds were a bit more than what we were told, about 400 more, God provided the funds to us, then the appts ran more than we thought a total of 1500, again God provided. Then they had to adjust my meds which meant I needed more, WOW I dont know where we are going to get this money!! We had already spent 3000; 500 more than originally started plus I needed 800 for the IUI itself and now I need another 300 for more meds!! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?! We PRAYED alot for GOD to provide and give us strength and trust in him. HE DID!!! My parents came for a fluke visit (not really a fluke, God planned that all along) and gave us a check. Which we didn’t have to use because the DR gave us the meds!!!! So then we went right along with the IUI and now I am waiting two weeks to get my results. WHICH are going to be POSITIVE I really belive this is it!! God has shown sooo much favor on the situation, and I belive he knows the desires of our heart!! My husband and I just started a supprt group for infertility and yesterday one of the girls called and said her husbands test came back good and her Dr said she wanted to do an IUI, My friend was soo excited and she said if it wasn’t for us she would have never known what that was and not known if she should do it. Well it wasn’t me, It was God!! So Praise God!!!! He is awesome!
