Expecting? Not the way you would expect me to be. You see I don't have a due date instead I listen intently for the phone to ring in hopes it is them asking if we will welcome a baby temporally into our home. You wont see a physical change in my body but my heart is growing daily. I wont find out the gender of my baby until I am able to hold them close to me, in fact I won't even know what age my baby will be until that moment. My journey is a different kind, I wont be the first one to embrace my baby, my baby will come through someone else's arms and be loved as though they had always been mine.
(Disclosure: This is an entry I created during the trail of our faith. Infertility is incredibly painful. I ache for women all over who struggle with the trying feat of infertility. The following is a link called Infertility Etiquette. I found it to be very insightful. I encourage all of you to read it (you will have to copy and paste the link into your browser, I don't know how to make it an actual link) even if you currently don't know someone struggling with infertility now chances are you will at one point in your life.
