Fertile Fertile Mertils

Just to show you all that I really am not crazy and making things up: 
Here is a list of all of my pregnant friends and family.
  1. Erin
  2. Lindsay
  3. Sarah
  4. Brittany
  5. Stacy
  6. Rachel
  7. Sierra
  8. Alex
  9. Eva
  10. Sarah (Another one)
  11. Muranda
  12. Amanda
  13. Monique
  14. Laurie
  15. Emily
  16. Ginger
And two who I can't say yet because it's still a secret.
   17. Secret
   18. Secret
See what I'm Sayin?? I am not crazy. 
Literally ALL my friends are Preggo. 
Is this normal??

So for those of you who don't know, we are going through the wonderful world and journey of infertility. I don't like that word though. I don't think I am infertile, I just don't think I am really crazy fertile.
 I just think that all things happen for a reason and at the right time.
 And so for us, it just doesn't seem to be the right time. 
Which is okay. It's just hard waiting.
 I sure am learning the skill of patience.  
Anyway, I just thought I would share for two reasons: 

             1) People are always asking us when we are going to have kids and quite frankly it is starting to bug me. :)
    And 2) I am guessing there might be one or two of you faithful readers who are going through this too. 
So if you are, we could be buddies. 
There isn't much I feel uncomfortable talking about. 
I am a pretty open book. 

*And for the 18 of you who are my pregnant friends and family, 
I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED FOR YOU!
I really do mean that. 
By the end of September there will be 18 babies in my life. 
{19 because Sarah is having TWINS}
That makes me a Happy Camper.

Lisa, if you dont want to answer this on your blogg I totally understand. Can you just not carry them? But everything else is good? Becuase if this doesnt creep you out or anything, I would be your oven if you needed one. Or if you think that is really weird I am sure there is someone else who would as well.

Don't you just love Nekiya to death?! She has such a big heart :-)

Hey girlfriend! I love you! I have no doubts that things will happen for you. I know that it is so hard to be patient though... just tell people when they ask if you are going to have kids.. NO! haha! That will shut them up! I hope you have the most amazing time on your cruise!! Can't wait to hear all about it.

Brittany said...

I swear there is a little baby boom going on! But don't worry it will happen for you guys too! I know countless stories of people who have had hard times getting pregnant and every single one has worked out in the end, and had happy endings! You will be a great mom when your little ones come along!

Lisa said...

Ha ha.. so funny. Thanks Nekiya for for volunteering your oven. :) We don't really know what the problem is yet. Casey is golden. No problems there. And I am functioning only when using fertilty meds. So... we have one more month to try with this, and then on to a specialist! We have lots of faith. Don't worry! :)

Lisa, hey this is Brooke. Your cousin Greg's wife. I'm a nurse and I know that I saw you at the Doctors office once and I am curious what OB you see. Let me know.. Other then that I have know doubt you will be just fine.

Heather said...

Hey Lisa, I am soooo sorry! I sort of know what you're going through. I had issues between my 2nd and 3rd kids, thus almost a 5 year gap between them. I know it's not quite the same. But I'll definitely be your bud if you need one!

Lisa,
I know you don't know me, I came across your blog through a friend of a friend and I just happen to be going through the same thing. We have been trying for 2 years now with no success. Check out this blog it has a lot of useful and interesting facts. http://justuswomen.blogspot.com/
The girl who writes all this stuff just became pregnant herself after 2 years of trying, I believe she was taking Clomid, but I'm not sure. You can ask her anything, she is very sweet and will gladly talk if you want someone to talk to. I will also be happy to talk to you as I'm sure you have had a lot of the same feelings I have had going through this. Feel free to email me at leannbowman@gmail.com

Girl I don't know from personal experience what it is like to try for kids yet, and I am really sorry you are going through this. I understand how it is to have all your friends be pregnant, freak my friends are on their 3rd! I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you guys and will pray for the best. You're too cute and too fun/optimistic and will make a great Momma when the time comes!! Hope you are having a fun vacation!
