The Waiting Game

Yes, I know it's been almost 2 months since I last posted.  No, I'm really not that sorry for it.  And no, I don't really have a good excuse for it.  I keep meaning to sit down and write a post, but somehow it always eludes me.

Now that that's out of the way, what have we been up to, you ask? I can pretty much some it up in 5 words: A whole lot of waiting.

First we waited to see if we would be referred to an RE (Reproductive Endocrinologist).  Then we waited actually meet our RE (Dr. M, who we like very much).  Then we waited for the husband to have testing done.  Then we waited for the results (which were very good).  Then we waited for me to have testing done.  Oh wait, we're still waiting for that.

One thing has become very obvious to me over the last several months: infertility (testing, treatment, etc) requires a whole lot of waiting.  When you think of it, it's kind of ironic seeing as infertility is already causing you to wait to have a child.

All of this waiting has also caused me to realize how little control I/we/even doctors have over this process.  Yes, while we are being proactive and pursuing treatments, in reality God is the One who is in control of it all.  Somehow that is incredibly freeing to me.  And it is up to me to hurry up and wait on His perfect timing.
