God's Perfect Timing

In today's world we are use to instant gratification; we expect it even. But God has His way of reminding you that He is in control, and that His plan for you is a perfect plan-even if we don't always see that from the beginning. Shaun and I got pregnant so easily and unexpectedly with Lillian, that when we decided to try for number two we assumed we would get pregnant fairly quickly. As crazy as it might sound to some of you, I had fully intended on being back in my maternity jeans by Lillian's first birthday. Shaun and I always knew that we wanted two kids, and that we wanted them very close together. But then month after month went by and nothing... not even one positive ovulation test. I have always had 58-62 day cycles, which should have been my first clue that something was up, but like I already said getting pregnant with Lillian was not only easy but unintentional. After trying clomid with my OB and having no positive results we decided to see a fertility specialist. Something that I probably would have never been brave enough to do had I not already watched my sister go through this same struggle. We had only gotten to try one round of medicine, which didn't work, before discovering that I had some uterine polyps that needed to be removed. I had them removed this past Friday and as it turns out it was really a good thing that they needed to be removed, because otherwise they would have never found the endometriosis in my tubes and uterus. It sometimes seems like we have run into one wall after another, but each time I am reminded of how blessed we are to have our little girl and just how good God is. My arms are not empty by any means and Lillian is more than enough for me, but I long to give her that best friend that I have found in my own sister and brothers. All I know is that God's timing is perfect and only he knows what is in store for Shaun and I.
