Deserves to be a Dad

Just an update to let everyone know I did have a wonderful birthday…the husband made sure to that. He’s an amazing guy and I’m so glad to have him every day. Leading up to the big day was a bit crazy. I had to make an emergency visit to the infertility specialist (that I keep on speed dial now) because I got an infection from one of the meds I’m on…so what did she do? She gave me more meds. Ugh! Oh, well…and we also talked about next steps which would include another visit in a couple weeks where they would be giving my husband a shot he will have to give me at home. I couldn’t tell if he was excited or nervous about this. Probably both!

I have appreciated all the calls, messages, emails, etc I have received from people that are concerned for us and are praying. It really means a lot. I also want to stress that yes, I am the one not getting pregnant and I would be the one carrying the child (hopefully). But this has been just as hard on Mike as it has me. It may show more on me because I am a crier and I am more likely to talk about it and share my feelings to a random stranger about it. I think most people tend to sympathize more for the potential mom. Although Mike has been so strong and supportive to me, I also realize he is hurting too. He very much wants to be a dad. I know he has that longing. As we make plans next month to go to New York and visit Yankee Stadium, I know he will dream of when he can bring our kids there someday. Just as much as I want a baby and to be a mom, I want Mike to be a dad. I think about it so much. I have no doubt he will make a great one and I can’t wait to give him one. I’ll never forget the first time I saw him with his nephews. I pray that my husband soon becomes a father. I know any kid would be so lucky to have him for a dad.
