Just as an update, its moving week! This week will be pretty crazy as we pack up our home, dogs and cats, and make a move to KY. Thanks for being so patient with us with regards to the infrequency of the podcast. Once we are all settled in, we will be back to a normal schedule. A couple of things you could join us in prayer for... Pray we don't have much rain in our area (rain scheduled all week)! The last thing we need is a 26 foot U-Haul getting stuck! Pray that the installation of our fence goes as it should (for the dogs). It's been an adventure just in getting it scheduled! We are scheduled for the install either the Friday before we move in (Sept 27th) or the Monday after we have moved in (Sept 30th). We take possession of the home 12:30pm this Saturday BUT there is an estate sale at the house this Saturday morning as well that "should" be done by 12:30pm but we are somewhat concerned that they may be delayed. Anyway, please be in prayer for us and our friends who will be helping us. Talk to you soon!

Yesterday… I had my last “test”! My tubes were still open! And the dye he used has up to 18 months of therapeutic value! Any one out there who is struggling with fertility… Dr Burns at Marshall Reproductive Medicine is amazing!!! He has been at this for over 40 years! We are praying for an outcome of a healthy pregnancy, but we will also be happy with an adoption! The next couple of months will be the deciding factor of which direction we will! I am excited to see how God answers this prayer! I will be happy to be mommy to someone who I created. I will be equally as happy and excited to be be mommy to be someone I chose! Maybe both! God definitely know what he has in store for us! how exciting!!! ❤️❤️(Nicholas Lavender)

Update! Surgery went very well (best nap of my life)! I woke up to severe cramping, but once they gave me pain meds, that resolved (for good)! I have had zero pain and bleeding since! And much to Nick and my mom’s dismay, I didn’t do anything video worthy! 😂 I was the perfect angel! He said our biggest chance for pregnancy will be June and July! Keep praying!

Procedure is finished! She had more polyps than previously thought but all have been removed. Thank you for your continued prayers!

01/05/2024

Janelle will be going back to prepare for her procedure soon. Surgery begins at about 10:30. Prayers would be greatly appreciated. I’ll update when she’s finished!

This was stated so beautifully. I think that many of us can relate.

This is a little (or not so little) praise! Yesterday, I had the first test to see exactly what was going on with the polyps! On Easter Sunday morning, the doctor said that I was pretty much full of them! I was asked yesterday if I would be ok with his medical student observing to learn! Of course people have to learn... and I am not going to keep someone from learning! So... fast forward to the saline ultrasound (very ouchy... BTW). He got his images and then muttered that this was not nearly as exciting as he thought it would be. I asked him if that was a good thing or a bad thing! He took a moment and then muttered again that it was probably a good thing! It didn't hit me until we were on our way home that he was expecting there to be more for the med student to see. NOW... I do have 3 very large polyps in there... but I am not full of them like he said first. Either a doctor of 30+ years in fertility medicine didn't see as well as he normally does... OR... the Great Physician did some removal of His own! I can't be certain, there is nothing proving either side, but I do know who has me under His wing and what He is capable of! So I am going to give this one to God!

This absolutely does NOT mean that God has a pregnancy in store for us! But I do have a peace that He has ordered our steps when it comes to our little family and adding tiny people to it! Certain songs still make me cry, there is still a desire to be a mommy, Mother's Day still is extremely hard, and I still sometimes feel sad that it hasn't happened yet. But what I have learned through all of this, is that I need to fully trust, just like I am a child, that God knows what He is doing... and doesn't really need my help... even though I try to help out!

If you are waiting for an answer, remember that our plan is SO small compared to His perfect plan. It has to be so much more magnificent than anything we could EVER come up with on our own! There is freedom in placing that answer you are waiting for in God's hands! He has plans that are not to cause us harm!

The reason that I am so open about this is because fertility issues (or any rough patch, really) can do one of two things. It can either make you trust God more or it can kill your faith. It all depends on how you lean into it! I am choosing to lean into trusting God with everything in me! I KNOW that He will answer this prayer... just excited to see how! I also do still have times where I have to put it back in His hands! But I have learned so much about trust and prayer through this journey!
