You Would Think...

You would think that after two plus years of TTC that I would be better at waiting.

I'm not.  I'm horrible at it.

I'm on CD 21 and I just want it to be next week already.

Then I will know if we will have a cycle #3 (really #28) with meds or a BFP.

In the meantime... I will just pray (and check my chart obsessively).

Prayer for Patience
Lord, teach me to be patient - with life, with people and with myself.  I sometimes try to hurry things along too much and I push for answers before the time is right.  Teach me to trust Your sense of timing rather than my own and surrender my will to Your grater and wiser plan.  

Instead, let me wait for all to unfold in its own time.  Each moment and state of growth contains a loveliness. Teach me to slow down enough to appreciate life and all it holds.  Amen.

The beginning of the last week is hard- you still have a ways to go and you've already been waiting a while. Praying that this is the cycle for you!

That's a beautiful prayer. I sometimes wonder if I would actually learn patience from waiting, if I would be able to stop waiting. Instead, I seem to grow more impatient. Praying that the week goes quickly!

Praying for you - so tough to wait. I love that prayer.

I will say this prayer for you at adoration tonight! And one that the result of the waiting is a BFP.

Praying for a BFP!!! The Patience Prayer is such a beautiful prayer. I love it!

I hate the 2ww wait like nothing else. Prayers that you can do something everyday to distract yourself...go to a movie, call a friend, get a manicure...

UGH.

Praying it turns into a BFP.

I can't imagine the 2ww ever being easy peezy although those that have "experience" seem to wish that we could somehow master it...all cool...and calm...and just waiting patiently!

Ha...not so much!! Especially when that hope is there!!!

Praying for you!!!
