Philippians 4:8-9

whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Slight Detour...(heavy sigh)


Roadblocked, Detour, Turn Around, Slow Down, Change the Route...
My IUI cycle was cancelled. I received the call from my RE yesterday stating that my blood results were in...
And all looks good except my Rubella test. I am not immune to Rubella and they will not continue my treatment until I get my immunization shot.

Rubella is a viral infection that is most serious in pregnant females because it can harm their unborn baby. It is also called German measles or 3-day measles.
If a women is in her 1st trimester of pregnancy and catches the disease her baby has up to a 90% chance of being born deaf, blind, mentally retarded, with heart defects or stillborn. These conditions are referred to as Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS).

The Plan:
Get Rubella vaccine!!!! I have an appointment tomorrow for the shot BUT you have to wait anywhere from 1-6 months AFTER the shot to try to conceive. Bummer right?

So we are currently in the "waiting" stage. We are disappointed, but very glad that the Dr's. were smart enough to find this and the action required is easy! It's the waiting that will be tough. The waiting that hurts my heart. The waiting that gets me discouraged, the waiting that isn't easy...BUT
Part of living as a believer is making the choice to follow God even when it isn't easy. When our prayers are not answered in the ways we had hoped and when God says "WAIT" or even "NO" to the things we have been dreaming of. That is when we have to choose which way we will go. We can walk away and say "fine, if that's the way it is, I don't want to be a part" or we can choose to say "Yes, Lord" and accept His answer without understanding it simply because we trust His heart.

Travis and I say "Yes, Lord we will wait"
Isaiah 55:8 My (God's) thoughts are not your thoughts, and my ways are not your ways
