WE HAVE A DATE

🎣 We’re o-fish-ally in the wait for Baby Whitaker 💛🌈

We got the news on Wednesday (yesterday) that we had 7 embryos that made it to day five and are being sent off for genetic testing. While this number isn’t final, we’re praying over each one and that they are healthy, strong, and perfectly created under God’s touch.

We’ve been given the dates for our July transfer, and it’s all starting to feel so real. But with that… comes a whole lot of fear.

The truth is, I’m terrified.

There is no guarantee any of our embryos are viable.

There is no guarantee one will stick.

And even if one does… there is no guarantee I can carry.

We've been through loss. We've had so much heartbreak. And no matter how hard I try to stay on the positive side of this journey, that little voice keeps saying, what if it happens again?

What if none of them make it?

What if it does stick and we lose another baby?

I wish I could just say I’m so full of hope. And I want to be, but the honest truth is that I’m also so full of anxiety. We have another two week wait of uncertainty, and I'm holding my breath, and holding on to whatever hope I can find.

I’m trying to stay on the positive side of things. I'm still trying to lay all of my trust on Jesus I'm still trying to hold on to our belief that He’s still writing something beautiful with our story, even if we can’t see it yet.

Thank you for praying us through this season. We feel it. And we need it more than ever. 🤍
