Please pray for me

Hi everyone, I hope you all are well. The reason for my post is I would like to ask everyone to remember me and my family in your prayers. After being diagnosed anovulatory, I do not ovulate on my own, we decided to try Intrauterine Insemination. I have been very blessed thus far regarding seizure activity. I still take Phenobarbital every night and I had my first IUI Monday. YIKES!! I am so excited and nervous at the same time. It's a good nervous though. I have dreamed of being a mommie for as long as I can remember and just knowing at this very moment our little miracle could be coming together inside me... it's Heaven. Listen to me, I don't even know if the IUI worked or not yet and I have to wait 2 whole weeks before I can take a pg test, this is going to be the longest 2 weeks of my life I believe. Anyway, I would greatly appreciate all of your prayers that I may have a safe/smooth pregnancy and of course a healthy baby. I'll share my result as soon as I get it, hopefully I'll be bringing everyone good/positive news. Thanks, Vanessa

Pam, You are so very right. Your post was so sweet, thank you. All of the replies I have received have just warmed my heart so much. I must admit, I am not feeling like I will have a positive pg test. I don't know why, it's just a gut feeling I can't seem to shake. Oh well, either way I am happy to be alive and I have faith the good Lord will bless us with a little one when the time is right. Everything that is meant to happen does I believe, I just got to hand in there for about another week. Thank you again. Much thanks, Vanessa
