What IF? National Infertility Awarness Week April 24- May 1st

Okay, I got inspired from a fellow blogger to keep the chain of project What IF going, to promote awareness of infertility and show my support at the same time. I just cannot say just how much I am grateful to have had to battle infertility in my life, along with my husband's support. Some of the worst things in life, can bring out the best things in life at the same time. So, now for my what ifs..


What if we had not had to go through infertility?

We would have never have known who our real friends in this crazy world are, and we wouldn't have gained so many more better friends.

We wouldn't be as close of a couple, or have as strong as a marriage as we presently do.

We would have a 6 year old running around the house now, with who knows how many other kids.

I wouldn't be as grateful for my family- I am soo happy to be a mom to be, and just imagining our family in the coming few months makes me cry. I don't think I would have enjoyed being pregnant quite as much as I have now.

We probably wouldn't both be where we wanted to be in life. I love my job, and Allen does his as well.

We wouldn't have gotten the chance to see the country like we did. Allen and I have traveled through sooo many more places than we would have if we had a family back in 05'.

We would not know of the support we would get from our family and friends for our upcoming family.

MOST OF ALL, WE WOULD NEVER GET THE JOY OF ANTICIPATING THE ARRIVAL OF HAYLEIGH. WE NEVER WOULD GET TO EXPERIENCE HAYLEIGH BLESSING OUR LIVES, AND EVENTUALLY BRINGING HER INTO THIS WORLD. IF EVERYTHING WOULD HAVE WORKED OUT, THERE WOULD BE NO HAYLEIGH....

There are probably is a list of other things I have forgotten, but, I am grateful to have shared this journey with soo many people out there. This is a bond, that will never be broken. Infertility no matter how bad it has been, has made me feel more special, or rather that our baby to be will be even more special.
