My Prayers Answered!!!

Courtney

So I thought I would share my story for moms and TTCers out there. When I was 19 i was dating Jeremiah and his son finally got to come live with us. So I became a mom to a 2 and a half year old. I nurtured and loved him as my own and knew I wanted to have babies asap so they would be close in age to my Christopher. So we started trying for a baby at that time. We didn't get pregnant. I did research and tracked my cycles, which were never regular. After years of trying I finally went to the doctor and found out I had pcos. We were trying for 7 YEARS and then I started to focus on my fitness. I was going to the gym a lot. And started losing weight. I was very very heavy end ended up fasting for 24 days after that calorie counted kept low carbs and fasted some more. I lost about 60 lb and BAM! I was pregnant! It took us eight years but I got pregnant. My baby is perfect gorgeous and healthy. Raising him has been everything I ever dreamed of. It's the best. Now in just 8 months since my son's birth I am pregnant again!!! We just found out and went to doctor and saw his heartbeat. It's so exciting! I found out on the morning of our 5 year wedding anniversary party. Even though I wanted to scream and cheer when I found out, I quietly praised the Lord and cried in the bathroom. Later that evening Jeremiah and I renewed our vows in front of both of our families. After our vows I told him I had an anniversary present for him in front of everyone I told him we were going to have another baby and showed him the test! Everyone was so surprised. It was so fun. I'm about 8 weeks along. That means my babies will be about 17 months apart with an 11 year old big brother. l feel so blessed and I laugh at myself about all the times I cursed God at his cruelty because of our infertility. Now I truly understand when people say it'll happen when you least expect it. I hated hearing that when we were trying for years and years. You have to pray and trust God. He has great things in store for you! thanks for reading I hope our struggle and story helps someone out there who is trying, and waiting, and testing.
