Infertile? With three kids?

Some of you may know, and some of you may not, that the Dixon Family has been trying to increase our numbers for quite some time now. Our girls are 22 months apart, Khloe and Drew are 2 1/2 years apart. We tried for 9 months to get pregnant with Drew. Richard always said that once we got our boy we were done having babies. Well when Drew was about two weeks old, I remember sitting in the nursery for one of those middle of the night feedings and looking down at his little face as he was nursing and thinking to myself, "there is no way that he can be the last". I remember it like it was yesterday. Rich and I have never done anything to "prevent" pregnancy, but for some reason, it has just not happened again. I started "trying" for another baby the January after Drew turned 1. Rich got on board about a year and a half ago. We discussed it with the kids to get their thoughts about a year ago. So Kari has been trying to have another child for about 4 years. Rich and Kari have been trying to have another child for about a year and a half, and The Dixon Family have been trying to have another child for about a year now. A year can be a long time to wait when you are 4. Drew thinks that we should just go take someone else's cute baby. He doesn't quite understand that we have to wait for our own. This struggle has taken me many places spiritually, physically and emotionally. I have never used this blog to express any of this, as family comes here to get updates on us, not really our struggles. http://revealedglory.blogspot.com/ This is a link to a blog that I have started to share our story and to share our struggles and to share our victories in our walk with Christ. It may be about fertility, it may be about life in general. It may be written by me, it may be written by Rich. Bookmark it if you would like to stop in sometime.
