Pregnant? : Week 4

Christmas is here. I am reminded of Mary and how she must have felt when the angel appeared and told her she would have a child. Talk about a surprise pregnancy! Her response is what floors me, "Let it be to me according to Your Word."

Today marks the beginning of week 4 of my "pregnancy." I'm right in the middle of what we infertile women like to call the 2 week wait (2WW). I imagine the clever term and it's cute abbreviation was the creation of some poor infertile girl who needed some sort of mark to bind her to other women in her situation. I know it made the 2WW a little easier for me knowing that as I waited, thousands of other women in my shoes waited. . .most of us for months and months on end. Infertile or not, the 2WW is that time between ovulation and when your period would normally arrive. I'm sure any woman hoping to get pregnant - whether it's her 1st or 15th month trying - hates the 2WW. No one likes waiting.

As I mentioned last week, I do not believe I ovulated this month so I'm not counting on seeing those double pink lines this time around. Perhaps it's because this is just the first month or maybe it's because I've done this drill before, but I am still peaceful about it all. After going through countless 2WWs before, I know that as hard as it is to wait, there's nothing else I can do. If I can keep focusing on the truth about His perfect timing, I might make it through this process without going crazy.

Let it be to me according to Your Word God.

Merry Christmas!
