Show us Your Life, Infertility/High Risk Pregnancy

This week on Show Us Your Life, Kelly has asked that if we have a blog or site that tells our testimony or is a ministry to others to post about it. The reason I started blogging what that we had been TTC for about 3 months and I thought that we would soon want to share pictures and news of a pregnancy and baby with out of town family and friends. Well, it didn't exactly work like that.

We spent the next two years going through extensive infertility work ups, two miscarriages, a house fire, diagnosis of a clotting disorder, and now we are almost half way through a high risk pregnancy without any complications. I know that I would have never made it to where I am without God in my life. 1. I never would have gotten pregnant had we not discovered the clotting disorder (homozygous Factor V Leiden) and ovulation disorder (I have a whole post that shows the timeline that I think God sent me on to discover it), 2. we are much stronger as a couple because of our journey together, 3) I am a much stronger person because of it. He knows what he is doing!

Here are some of my most meaningful (at least to me) posts about our journey. (I started blogging at web.mac.com/ajledford, this is just the last year of our journey here)

Thankful (a look back on the last year of my infertility)
