It's hard not to worry, like you i know that whatever happens i can handle it but i'm praying it's me with a living breathing healthy full term baby in my arms.

One thing N's doctor said when we were actively working on eliminating her can't-get-to-sleep-so-the-worries-come-pouring-in cycle was that it was going to be really hard for her. She had had all these worries filling her time, taking her attention. If we eliminated them, what was she going to do with herself then? How was she going to fill that time instead? How could we replace something bad with something positive?<br /><br />I've been trying it with my own middle-of-the-night panic attacks, with some success, but stopping the worry cycle is really hard. (And now that I've read about snakes coming out of a car's AC vents, all bets are off!)<br /><br />Praying tonight for all of us who worry, especially when that worry becomes debilitating.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06178159579764689049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-38317239615175466882010-05-24T18:30:32.426-04:002010-05-24T18:30:32.426-04:00I wondered if it was possible not to feel the way ...I wondered if it was possible not to feel the way you just described when you first started on the new round of IVF. I've never been through what you are going through and imagination I know isn't remotely like the real thing. I am glad, at least, you can express the worry, even fear, that your awareness of tragedy brings with it. That must be somehow a step on the road to dealing with it -- I hope?<br /><br />Kathy WKathy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11579713798455454316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-27772121355008076402010-05-24T18:21:54.685-04:002010-05-24T18:21:54.685-04:00Even when you don't feel normal anywhere else,...Even when you don't feel normal anywhere else, you can feel normal here.<br /><br />It's hard not to worry about things even when you trust God to take care of things.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15431384515813384025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-73985597310540761002010-05-24T18:07:41.686-04:002010-05-24T18:07:41.686-04:00We'll be praying for you guys this week.

I had to mark milestones with Collen...and every time I hit one, I'd feel a little better about the possibility of us getting to meet this little miracle, bring him home, and raise him. For us, reaching the milestones after birth will be even more of a triumph, and while I anxiously and timidly anticipate those milestones, I know it's something we have to face. When you mentioned being the ONE it happens to...I was just nodding my head...saying yep, I know exactly what she means. Makes you wonder why God chose us to be among the few.

When I start to worry about them, all I do is get anxious and grumpy. Over the years, I've tried to let go and let God have control...easier said than done.<br /><br />In the midst of all the horrible delays with the Kyrgyz adoptions and all of the challenges getting to the finalization of E's adoption, I realized that the more I let go, the easier it was to cope. I kept telling myself that when God said there was a baby who needed me for a mommy, then that is when it would happen, inspite of all the stressful setbacks that might occur.<br /><br />Today, I'm more grateful than ever that the Lord helped me to find the patience I needed to get through the uncertainty of E's adoption - to help me find the courage to move forward on the path He laid out even when it looked dark and scary.<br /><br />Sorry that I don't have any words of advice to share. Just know that God DOES INDEED LOVE YOU and that he will lead you in the direction you are meant to travel. Have the courage and the strength to travel along that path with confidence. He will not lead you astray.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12894447221963535702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273909430922264674.post-38465524731069713812010-05-24T14:02:11.924-04:002010-05-24T14:02:11.924-04:00What a blessing to have women in your life who can...What a blessing to have women in your life who can share in your grief, sorrow and life experience. I know it certainly helped me to have fellow adoptive mamas encouraging me during Caleb's adoption!<br /><br />The other day a dear friend and I were talking about various struggles in life and she said of her own struggle, "If that is what God needs to do so I can know Him better and in a different way, so be it." If only we could look at every worry and say, "God how will I know you better because of this?". <br /><br />Hugs to you, 'internet friend'!
