The last 2 years has been full of hope, faith and love. At a time when I felt like giving up and moving back home, and then I met the love of my life. Little did I know that this love that started out so small would grow into something beautiful. Not long after meeting, we were dating, and then engaged and preparing with faith to start our eternal family. On August 8, 2008, we were sealed for time and all eternity and decided to start our family and try to have a baby....little did we know that this would be a struggle...We hoped and hoped for the first year that we would be able to get pregnant and have the greatest desire of our hearts...but Heavenly Father had other plans. Our patience has been tested over and over. Our faith has been tried as we have seen many loved ones get pregnant and have beautiful children, while we were struggling to get pregnant. The last year has been extremely difficult as every single one of Aaron's siblings that is married had a baby or is currently pregnant. We questioned what we were doing wrong in wanting a child so much...
We began seeing a doctor that didn't really help us and after six months of seeing him, I had almost lost all hope. Luckily we met Dr. Hammoud who is working hard to help us get pregnant. We had a hysterosonogram which led to the discovery that my uterus had polyps which was making it difficult for a fertilized egg to grow and thus causing me to not get pregnant, but there was a solution. Recently, Dr. Hammoud performed a Dilation and Curettage procedure in which he removed the polyps. This was an extremely painful procedure that put me out for 3 days. However, we now have renewed hope that we will be able to naturally conceive a child and have the greatest desire of our hearts....a child. Please keep us in your prayers and we will keep everyone updated as to when we have the greatest news of our lives!
On another note...of hope, faith, love, and extremely hard work. I finally graduated from the University of Utah with my B.A. in Spanish Teaching. Yes ladies and gentlemen...after years of trying to graduate from college I have finally done it and boy am I proud of myself!
I will try to update more on this blog later.....for now....adios!
