If You Want To Get Pregnant, Go On Vacation!

Okay, so we had been trying to conceive for a while and were completely frustrated and depressed about the whole situation-me especially! We had tried just about everything! We were running out of options and were seriously looking at adoption as the route we might have to take. But then we decided to go on a 5 year anniversary trip to Colorado. Just like always, I went into it kicking and screaming, but now that I look back I am really glad that I went along! Shh, don't tell Scott! It was the most relaxing and fun time I have had in a long while. I was able to get my mind off of our problems and just enjoy myself. I had been told numerous times that stress does affect a woman's ability to get pregnant, but I just assumed that our inability to conceive was 100% linked to my health problems. However, I am now convinced that going on a vacation is the best possible thing you can do when you are wanting to get pregnant (second only to trusting God, of course)! When we came back I was so relaxed. I didn't worry one time about trying to make things happen. Even though I was faced with the horrible truth that I may have to endure 3 more months of fertility drugs, I was able to chill out. So, I am grateful to the Lord for creating beautiful vacation spots but also for teaching me about letting go and trusting Him! It has been a long journey, but this was one lesson that I needed to learn! Now I know what to do when we are planning for baby #2! I think we will go some place Tropical next time! :)
