In 2005, I started having health problems. It was nothing life threatening but definitely debilitating. Along with this came hormonal problems where the doctor said I was menopausal at 26. To help regulate my hormones they said I needed to be on birth control or fertility meds. Seeing that we had been desiring a baby for awhile, we opted for the latter. We were on fertility meds for 10 months but nothing was working. The doctor didn't know why we weren't getting pregnant. It was a heartbreaking process as we contemplated adoption and wondered if God would grant our desire for a child. We decided that we needed to take a break from fertility meds and trust in the Author of life. I remember praying and coming to the realization that my love for God cannot be contingent on whether or not He gives us a child. Little did I know that 2 weeks later, the month we went off of fertility meds, we would find out that we were pregnant! After waiting years, our little miracle, Esther Susan was born on February 11th 2010.
