Journaling reads:
We tried for a year and a half to get pregnant, and I was starting to think it just wouldn’t happen for us. The doctors couldn’t tell me why I wasn’t getting pregnant, and had no idea how to help us. We had prayed and prayed for a little one, and with frustration and disappointment, were now trying to come to grips with the fact that maybe God wanted us to adopt. We had always talked about adopting, saying we’d consider it even if we were able to have our own children. We would welcome an adopted child with as much love and eagerness as we would one of our own blood, but the thought that I might never experience the joys (and woes) of being pregnant, of feeling a new life growing inside of me, was heart-breaking. In April 2005, I had missed another period, which was not unusual for me, and Bobby encouraged me to take a pregnancy test. I was extremely reluctant. I had taken so many before only to be disappointed with negative results. I didn’t want to suffer that yet again. But he bought the test, and I took it and the results were…unreadable. It wasn’t an outright negative reading, like all the others, but it wasn’t a clear positive, either. So I drove to base for a blood test. They took my blood and sent me home, saying they’d call me with the results later that afternoon. When the nurse finally called me back and told me that I was indeed pregnant, I couldn’t believe my ears. Honestly, it didn’t sink in until my very first doctor appointment, but of course we made the happy phone calls immediately. Everyone was so excited to hear the news, especially our parents since you would be the first grandchild on either side. But no one could be happier than we were, and we knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that you were a miracle, a gift directly from God. And though I had a relatively easy pregnancy, I was so happy to be expecting you that when little difficulties did arise, I cheerfully endured them. No doubt about it, my Mia. We love you so much, and expecting you was a joy!
