The Trap

 

There is a trap that satan wants us to fall into. His goal has always been to tear families apart. Family was the first institution that God ordained in Genesis, and therefore is I believe Gods most precious institution.  The family is at the heart of the foundation of the world, and satan wants to do anything in his power (as limited as it is), to destroy it.

Don’t fall into the trap. The “mommy fever” trap; the “so desperate to be a mom that you leave your husband behind” trap. Whether you’re just starting to “try” (also known as TTC), or you’re in a period of infertility waiting, don’t leave your husband behind. Cultivate your relationship with him. Enjoy every day with him that you are free of distractions and extra stress that children will inevitably bring.

 Enjoy sex!! God meant for sex to be enjoyed and for it to be the ultimate form of intimacy between two people on earth. There’s nothing less sexy than looking at your husband and screaming “I’m ovulating. It’s go time! Drop and give me twenty!”  

 
TTC can be a hard journey for the men in our lives; especially if it is because he is having trouble with his “counts”; his ego can take a real blow. Regardless of the cause, the biggest mistake you can ever make is making him feel like he isn’t enough.  

Infertility is a hard road and can feel lonely even with your spouse by your side. Don’t make the mistake of pushing your husband and being so consumed with EVERYTHING baby that it becomes your only focus. You may find yourself on a journey of infertility completely alone because you’ve pushed the one person on this journey with you, away.

Don’t let it become your idol.  

Don’t be the crazy baby lady.
