I know that for the most part people write about being happy and having such a wonderful life. And for the most part it really is a happy and wonderful life, but lately Bryce and I have been struggling. We have been off birth control for 2 years and have been really trying for the last 7 months to get pregnant. And nothing has happened!!! I realize that we haven't been waiting that long but, every month is such an emotional roller coaster!!! We want a baby so BAD!!! It's like I have a hole in my heart that can't be filled with anything else. People keep telling us, just don't think about it so much and it will happen. It makes me so MAD when people tell us this because obviously these people have never really struggled in this area. How can I not think about it??? Starting our family is constantly on our minds!!!! We feel like we have established ourselves and have really built a home for a family. We just need a freaking baby!!! We see people around us having babies and we're so so so so HAPPY for them!!!! But, some days I have to put on smile and hold back the tears. We've looked into adoption, but we didn't feel like it was the right time. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan, and that it will happen when it's right. I just wish it would happen sooner than later!!
We've got an appointment with a doctor tomorrow to talk to him about our options of getting on the medicine Clomid (I hope that's how you spell it). I know that that medicine has worked for a lot of people and we're hoping that it will work for us and SOON!!!

just wanted to wish you luck with everything! there is still alot of hope for you two- Alot! but I'm sorry you have to go through this, this is one of the hardest things to go through. you are great example of faith and endurance. i have a friend who was married 3-4 years, they had tried everything! they did invetro? several times,nothing. finally just when they wanted to give up, they tried once more. She just found out she's pregnant with triplets! it's a neat story. anything is possible with the Lord's help. you're in our prayers.
Oh Jamie, I hope it all works out for you two- I hear that medication works well too! Sure love you lots and will keep you guys in our prayers. You two will make wonderful parents someday (and hopefully very soon!).
P.S.- we're headed up to Utah next week and want to come see you guys. I'll give you a call sometime tomorrow. Love you!
Oh, Jamie, that is such a hard, patient process. I'm sorry. I hope things go well with the doctor. My sister had a hard time getting pregnant and took Clomid and had twins...twice! You're right, things are in Heavenly Father's hands and he knows your wants and needs. It will come at the right time! We will pray for you guys!
Hang in there hun! Although I don't know what you guys are going through, I do know that sometimes it is difficult to wait and understand the Lord's time-table.. through most trials that we go through. Let me know if there is anything that we can do for you! Just keep the hope and faith - that is the most important thing you can do through this process.
jam, i love your guts! thats all we'll talk on the phone!! ;)
Both of us just want to say that you will be great parents when a little one comes and we hope that the dr's appt goes well. Someone once told me to eat Oatmeal every morning when you are trying...I don't know if it works but any little help right?! :)
Oh Jamie you have me in tears..that breaks my heart! I am SO sorry that has to be the hardest trial anyone could have. I know you will be CUTEST parents and I am sure everything will work out it's just the TIME that is SO frustrating!! I hope the doctors appointment goes well, keep us updated, I have heard GREAT things about clomid..I can't wait to see you post when your are pregnant! Just keep the faith and keep trying I'm sorry and if you ever want to borrow either one of my crazy kids feel free you might change your mind..JUST KIDDING they ARE worth it.
It was so great talking to you the other day. I don't really know what to say other than I completely understand. And like we talked about, I wish no one ever had to feel this way. My heart breaks for you, and I can't wait until it's your time. You will be the most amazing mom, and when you can finally hold your child in your arms, it will be the most incredible feeling in the world...thinking of everything that it took to get to that point. I know how hard it is. But you ARE strong, and your time will come. Love you.
all i can say is that i know EXACTLY how you feel!! at least we have each other to lean on. i know that i have emma and of course i am SO thankful for that, but i don't know if that makes it even harder because i know how much joy a baby brings. who knows....
when people tell you to stop worrying or thinking about it and that it will happen in god's time all you can do is smile and hold back your tears. but cry it out at home lady, it does help.
i love you girl....can't wait to see you soon!!!!
I wish there was something I could say or do to make this all go away for you and Jules too.
I have been through different trials, and one things is totally sure...the Savior is with you all the way. Even when you feel all alone, and when you feel like you are gonna break....he's there right beside you. He knows your pain and sorrow.
We love you both and want you to know how that we will do anything to help you through.
Love to you!
Jamie,
As Jen said, my heart aches for you. I don't even know what to type because it all seems "not enough" for the feelings you are probably feeling. I just want you to know that you will be in our prayers. You WILL be an incredible mommy.
When I was having a hard time with not being able to get pregnant, I would pray for my children. I'd ask Heavenly Father to give them each great big hugs from me and Mike. I asked that He would tell them how much we love them and how excited we were to have them in our own arms. - Sometimes, more then once, I could feel them there with me. - It always helped when I was having a hard time accepting the Lord's time. It was a connection that didn't concern time. It was me being with the Lord and my children .. even if it was just for a few minutes while my eyes were closed and I was on my knees.
Mosiah 24:14 says ...."And I will also ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, EVEN WHILE YOU ARE IN BONDAGE; and this will I do that ye may stand as witnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, DO visit my people in their afflictions."
Jamie, He did this for me, so I now can stand as a witness that the Lord will visit you in your afflicions :)
I love you - You really are one of the nicest people I know and I look up to you in so many ways!!
Love,
Cara :)
