  • 24 | Our First Natural-Conception Positive Pregnancy & What we Did Differently

    *TRIGGER WARNING* I do share our news that we are expecting baby #2 in this episode. The purpose of this episode is two-fold: 

    1. Remind us that God's timing is truly everything. No protocol, doctor or approach is going to be THE solution. It's God's intentional timing that directs life <3 

    2. Share what we did do differently between TTC Highland and now this baby and why we did things differently. I'm not a doctor and this is not medical advice. This is only me sharing what we chose and what has worked for us.

  • 23 | Faith over Fertility: Trusting God’s Plan Through Infertility

    I was sitting in church Sunday when I had this vision of how it feels to walk through infertility - it's just like the disciples during the storm in Matthew 8:23-27. The storm is overtaking them, the disciples feel like they're about to die & drown and Jesus is SLEEPING of all things! 

    Infertility can feel like this. 

    Why is Jesus "asleep" as we're navigating the worst storm of our life? 

    How do we manage our hope and starting trusting God's plan through infertility? 

    In this episode, I break down this vision God gave me, and how to have a break through of trust In God's plan through Infertility or TTC! 

    Warning: I do cry a lot in this episode but that's because it's so real, raw and good!

  • 22 | Fighting the Fear of Miscarriage when Finally Pregnant or after Loss

    We are back! After a month of travel and refresh time, we are back with weekly uploads every Monday!

    I put up a question and answer box on my instagram https://www.instagram.com/thewaitingwellpodcast/ and one question I received was how to overcome the fear of miscarriage to find peace when you do finally have a positive pregnancy test. 

     

    The heartache of miscarriage is one I cannot fathom, but I did want to take time to answer this question to the best of what I believe God's Word says! I've walked many friends through pregnancy after loss - so sharing what impacted them the most that I shared with them.

    Praying for anyone navigating pregnancy after infertility but especially after loss.

  • 20 | My Lab Results & Navigating Unexpected News

    We had our daughter via IVF after 6 years of infertility & TTC. She was our only embryo that came from our round of IVF. We do not have any additional embryos and do not want to do IVF again if we don't have too. 

     

    Our goal is to conceive naturally with baby #2. So we decided to take a naturopathic route working from the whole picture starting from my baseline bloodwork / hormone panels. 

     

    In this episode, we discuss the results we just got back, what it means, what I would strongly encourage all women TTC asking to be tested for and how to navigate unexpected news. 

     

    I mention our home birth journey delivering Highland during this episode and promised a link to our story that's on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q3VvcpPZx4&t=62s

  • 19 | Should you take a break from trying to conceive?

    Has trying to conceive left you emotionally and spiritually drained? Are you feeling lost with God's plan and uncertain about what steps He may be calling you & your spouse too? 

    In this episode we dive into rest, and how to identify striving in ungodly ambition for a baby versus resting in God for provision. There were many short stints during our TTC journey that we felt God had given us yellow and red lights. We were faithful to stay clued in to His prompting because rest God's way is so much more life-giving than striving in my own might MY way.

    In this episode, I share THE HABIT that can break any frustration you may be feeling towards God's timing of your TTC journey.

    In my opinion, this one thing is overlooked and underutilized. It's a weapon we have to fight any frustration or division in us about God's beautiful sovereign timing in our lives including when we conceive.
