Big appointment this week

So we leave for my big doctor's appointment tomorrow. We'll head up to stay with FJIEJ, which I am very excited about! And then the appointment is early in the morning (really early - before 8 a.m.) on Thursday.

Before Clara, I planned on being completely prepared for the appointment, with notes and a game plan, but that has all been thrown out the window. I am way too busy to worry about that now, so I'm going to wing it. It probably wouldn't have mattered anyways.

I'm going to focus on just getting completely healthy, hormonally speaking, and also preventing another surgery, as much as that is possible. I also wouldn't mind finding out what is actually causing my infertility. That'd be nice. I tend to think something isn't clicking right at ovulation, so hopefully he will have some insight into that.

You all continue to be in my prayers. I really feel called lately to pray for all the infertility bloggers, and many of you by name. Now that I know just how joyful life can be, I just want it to happen for all of you right now!

At adoration today, I imagined what it must have been like for God to listen to me crying for so many years, begging Him to deliver me from my suffering, as He, all along, knew that He would be giving Clara to me on January 6, 2010. I picture Christ and Our Lady, wanting to reach out to me, wanting to tell me that it would all be fine, more than fine, very soon. And I believe they did, a number of times, in different ways. It was those life lines that kept me going.

Well, Clara is waking up so I have to go, but just please know that you are all on my heart. I wish I could post more, and once I get better at juggling everything, I will. I will update about my appointment on either Thursday or Friday. I know many of you will be seeing this very doctor in the weeks and months ahead, so I'll give you all the low down!
