So...Now I am blogging!! :)

This is my first blog, so I am very new to this, but here goes! My husband and I have just recently started the adoption process! So many other hopeful adoptive parents have a blog to tell their adoption story, so I have decided to start one to share our's!
My Husband and I have been married for almost 5 years(will be next month). We have always known that we wanted a family. We started trying to have a baby not long after we were married, it was just not happening. We started Clomid, a fertility medicine, with my OB about a year after we were married. I took Clomid for about 9 months, but it never helped me do anything. So then, my OB sent me to a Fertility Clinic in Nashville, where we went through A LOT of treatments and medicines. Unfortunately, it was never successful, and never even resulted in a pregnancy. We decided to take a break from all of the medicines and treatments, so we did nothing! 5 months after we stopped, I GOT PREGNANT!!! We were so ecstatic and on complete cloud 9. The pregnancy ended only a few days after we found out. We were devastated. After we had gotten pregnant, we decided to go back to the Fertility Clinic. We did many more treatments, but we didn't reach another pregnancy. We finally decided that we were going to go ahead and try In-Vitro. I scheduled a few tests that I had to have done before we could do the IVF. I finished one of the tests and then found out that I was already pregnant again, so obviously we didn't go through with the IVF cycle. I miscarried again, only days after we had found out. We were devastated again! The next month, I was pregnant again! :) We were so happy, but so nervous. We were able to keep the excitement for about 2 weeks with this one, but it ended as well. I have a couple of blood disorders that are keeping me from carrying a child. They have put me on medicines to fix it, but they just don't think that the meds will take care of the problem. We were very upset in the beginning and it occasionally still isn't "fair", but we have started a new journey! We are both so happy with our decision to adopt and actually feel as if it has lifted 500 lbs off of our shoulders.
We are going full force into Our Adoption Journey! We have so much love to give and we know that somewhere there is a woman that is going to bless us with the best thing in our lives! We just have to wait for it.
