It took Jamie and I a few years to get pregnant with Ben. 1 year, and some drugs, to conceive Megan. But that doesn't compare to the struggle my sister and hubs have had to go through over the last 7 years. Heartache. Immense heartache. They have been through every possible avenue in hopes of conceiving a child. Month after month...year after year...their hopes were dashed as the struggle seemed impossible. My sister was strong through all the sadness and tears. She ached, I'm sure, but she was faithful and persevered.
So many prayers went up in their behalf
many priesthood blessings were given
family fasts were held.
And then it happened.
And then it happened.
God hears our prayers
and
when the time is right...
when the time is right...
He sends a miracle.
Baby Strout due April 2nd!!

I love it. My sister struggled for 10 years to get pregnant. I died inside having to tell her each time I was pregnant. They got their miracle a little over a year ago. I am glad your sister is getting hers.
