Journaling:
Wait - something I was never good at, until
life forced me to stop. Quinten, I had to wait
for you an extra 3 years!
During that 3 years, I discovered my thyroid
was overactive. That meant to have a baby
would have been a miracle. I was not ready
to face the thought of only having one child.
I spent a year trying to take medicines so that I
could have you. It didn’t work.
Then I spent another 6 months finding
the cause to all this. During that 1.5 years my
mind and emotions could not stay in control.
I began to get distraught over the fact, I had
no control over my life and my body. Something
had taken over my body & all I could do was
hang on & make it through the day.
Finally, it was discovered that my gland had a
growth that was causing the problems. However,
I had the best case because it could be easily
treated with radiation, but I would be on meds
for the rest of my life to control my thyroid -
but I could get pregnant successfully! So I did it.
Then because of radiation, I had to wait another
6 months before concieving you. More waiting.
Finally, the time to get pregnant arrived & you
were given life. Now I only had the long 9
months to WAIT! I made it through high blood
pressure & depression, plus my thyroid issues.
Every trial during this wait challenged my idea
of controlling my life. Then 3 years later you
were born. That night in the hospital when it was
finally quiet & you & I met truly for the first
tims. I knew you were every bit worth the wait.
