My Journey
Pregnant After 7 Years!
Monday, May 19, 2003 @ 8:01 p.m.

I am so excited because an email penpal of mine from South Africa just found out that she is pregnant. She and her husband are Christians, and they have been trying to have a baby for 7 years!

It's been a couple of years since they have seen doctors for their unexplained fertility. At Christmas time they have started hosting older foster kids on holidays and weekends.

She has been a great encouragement to me as she has such a strong faith in God. She had shown me how important it is to trust God's timing. I'm giving thanks to God for this wonderful blessing and I will be continuing my prayers that everything will go well for her.

As for me, I think I ovulated yesterday. My husband followed my schedule without even realizing it. He he he. I do what I can to make his life less stressful:)

I'm predicting a 24 day cycle this month. It's a short one, and it kind of messes up my perfectly timed summer. Things can change though, so I'll just wait.
