{in}Fertile Friends

I am extremely behind on blogging.

It's ridiculous. 

Pre-Adalyn time seemed to go by fairly quickly.

Post-Adalyn time literally {literally} flies bye. 

Bzzzzz. Gone. 

Just like that.

Having a blog {and not keeping up with it} basically multiplies how fast time goes by by approximately 100.

I'm not kidding.

I'm thinking my best bet is to focus on a few big things that happened that I missed and then from here on out get back in to the swing of things with day to day life. 

But until I do that and can even figure out where to start with that,  I wanted a post to be specifically for a little group I created on Facebook. 

I've mentioned it before recently, but this is a specific post/invite to join.

I actually created this group when I was trying to get pregnant with Adalyn and praise the Lord all of the girls who were a part of that group ended up getting pregnant at some point!!

So here we are again with baby #2. 

In the same boat.

The boat I was dreading. 

Actually, this boat is worse because it's going on an even longer journey (almost a year), but it comes with a sweet awesome little distraction- thank you, Lord.

I was just saying today that she has no idea how much she helps me get through this. 

I am so so thankful for her. 

Roxie was my distraction when trying for Adalyn and I think it's pretty obvious that Adalyn takes the cake on this one!

So anyways this is a private group on Facebook- so no one can see anything unless they are a part of it. 

And it's just a place to vent, whine, get advice, request prayer, encourage etc. 

Infertility sucks.

Big time.

And it's something that most people truly don't understand until they've been there. 

Connecting with others who are going through the same thing is really valuable!

It's certainly not a group I wish I were a part of or a group I want anyone to be a part of, but this is the journey the Lord has us on and I try my hardest {some days are worse than others} to look at it as an opportunity to connect, to strengthen our walk and our faith, to know it's a part of our story and a testament to His faithfulness. 

He is faithful and we are believing. 

And in the meantime, I'm venting about how everyone around me is pregnant or having babies and how evil digital pregnancy tests are.

If you're not familiar, you wait for an eternity while you stare at a little flashing timer, you stare so long that you begin to wonder if the little hand is starting to move and then you're given the result:

 "Not pregnant." 

Yeah. I'm good.

I'll stick with one solid dark line, pleaseandthankyou.

I love the {awesomely overplayed} song Oceans by Hillsong- one part in particular has been standing out to me lately:

He's never failed me.

And He won't start now.

He knows who the perfect addition to our family and when the time is right. 

And until that time comes, I will limit my waaaaahhhs, ughhhhhhhhhs and 9u389uitwygjfbhjabf!!!!s and work on my praise for what he has blessed me with. 

Sooo if you'd like to join and connect with some sweet ladies with the same desires and frustrations as you- just comment with your email or send me an email: thesmellylife@gmail.com and I can send you an invite to the group and get you on my prayer list! 

And of course, for anyone not in this season of life, if you could keep me and the other ladies of the group in your prayers as well that would be wonderful!
