While going through this journey, Derek & I have realized that our family & friends are the most important part! There support and encouragement make this process just a little easier.
We have decided to take a year and let things just happen. We thought about signing up with an agency, but we just feel like there is something holding us back from that right now. I completely believe in divine intervention and know that God will lead us in the right direction.
It's been really hard though the past few weeks. I've noticed more pregnant people and babies than I EVER had in the past. This is saying a lot for the fact of where I work. I'm trying my hardest to stay positive and strong, but the bottom line is, I'm just ready to be a mom. I want that child that turns our life upside down, and I will embrace this with open arms.
It's the best feeling though seeing some of my favorite patients become parents. Some are for the first time and others are for the 2nd or 3rd, but seeing it through to the end result is more gratifying than I can explain. I love my job more than I ever thought I would, and I know that I am where I should be.
Please keep praying for us that we find peace through this time and that God sends us the child we are meant to have.

This made me tear up, Chelsea! I pray that you can, someday, have a beautiful family that is more than you and Derek. I get to see you tomorrow (and I am ridiculously nervous). Prayers and hugs. And keep chugging along. It's the only thing you can do.
