Customer Muse: God is Listening
I was married in 1980 and I have to say that I didn’t do what
all of my peers were doing at the time – making a list that always
seemed to have “children” at the end of it. Of course,
before children, came buying a house, traveling, getting established...
you know, all the usual “get yourself settled” stuff. I
was determined that children would come first on my list.
With great
pleasure, I went off the pill during my first year of marriage. With
a rather reluctant husband, who wasn’t quite sure that he was ready for
parenthood, I convinced him that all would be well. One year went by,
then two and then three, when finally we decided to head for the doctor. Following
numerous tests, we were told the news that we had less than 1% chance of being
able to conceive naturally. Problems appeared on both sides, so there was
no singular guilt attached – we were both equally devastated.
We were also still very young and were told to keep trying. Four
years, then five, six and seven went by when we were accepted on the
IVF program. Remember,
we’re back in the 1980’s, so the procedures were still
very new and success was around 17%. This was far better than
our 1% naturally so we made the long trip to Sydney for our first attempt
in 1987.
The years preceding this were exactly described by Barbarita
Lee (November 17th Muse) – pregnant women seemed to be everywhere. No
matter where I was, there was a pregnant woman. I also remember
late nights by myself in the living room crying and praying the usual
question – WHY? Why were
we going through this? Why do others find it so easy? Why
us? We
had so much love for each other; the natural progression was that a
child be born into this happy home. Please God, let this program
be successful.
We eventually had five attempts spanning 16 months. I
kept a diary of the agony that we shared after each failed attempt. Carefully
documented are the procedures we went through and the emotional rollercoaster
we seemed to find ourselves on. On Mother’s Day in 1988,
I had four fertilized eggs implanted with the new ZIFT (Zygote Intra
Fallopian Transfer) program. Five were frozen
for a future attempt. Nine days later, I got a period so there
went another failed attempt. But for some reason, I was not so devastated
this time. Even
though we had run out of money and couldn’t return for some time,
I just knew that God had put this program before us and this was how
He was going to get us pregnant. My husband, on the other hand,
was shattered this time and couldn’t face the thought of another
attempt.
We hardly spoke and so went about reclaiming a little normality
in our lives. A
week later, I started getting symptoms of pregnancy. My husband
immediately phoned the doctor for a blood test, at which I vehemently
refused. I tried
to explain to him that having the test was only getting our hopes up
and I didn’t
want another needle in my arm. He dragged me to the pathologist
kicking and complaining.
An hour later, my doctor phoned with the news
that we were pregnant! I was
stunned. They must have got the tests mixed up and it belongs
to someone else. After all we’d been through, it was as
though I couldn’t
enjoy the news we had long waited for. What if something went
wrong?
Christian was born nine months and two weeks later in February
1989.
In April 1989, we went back to “use up” the frozen
embryos, in case it took us a number of years to achieve a little baby
sister or brother. Three
zygotes were thawed, all A1 quality and I saw them under the microscope
before they were implanted. Four cells, fuzzy around the edges and
it was amazing to think that this was the beginning of life!
To our
surprise, we achieved not one sibling for Christian out of these, but
two – a
brother (Dane) and a sister (Rebecca). So with three children
under two, I had my work well and truly cut out for me.
Nine months
later, we lost our family business, and with that, we lost just about
everything we owned to stave off bankruptcy. Moving to a city
where my husband could find work, we lived in a rented house until
we could find something affordable.
Then, the inevitable happened. This
time, through the aid of a home pregnancy test kit, I found that I
was expecting yet another baby. Hubby
was delighted, he had finally achieved a homemade one – all I
could do was cry. How was I going to cope with four under four
years old? My mother always said that God doesn’t give you anything
that you can’t handle, so all would be well. And it was. Nicola
was born the most beautiful and placid baby of all. They are all
now teenagers 18, 16 and 15... so the going gets tough occasionally. But,
I always say, be careful for what you pray for – GOD IS LISTENING!

have to be the same as someone else to appreciate who they are.
Enjoy Ro's Muses? She now has a blog where she is posting some of our readers' favorites, along with blog-only topics. http://lifemuses-ro.typepad.com/life_muses_by_ro/

MORE
Scrapbook Software Secrets Revealed! for Adobe Photoshop Elements
versions 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 & 6.0
It's time for you to stop playing
catch-up in Photoshop and start having a blast doing the more
advanced tricks that you see other people and professional
digital scrapbookers doing.
- Take the world's easiest shortcuts to
creating your own backgrounds, embellishments, and alphas.
- Make sure that you don't make the biggest
mistakes that digital scrapbookers make when they create
layouts.
- Learn fantastic tricks for using Scrap
Girls ScrapSimple products.
- Dip your digital scrapbooking self into
some of those "other" cool tools that are sitting there
waiting in your software for you to use such as paths,
masks, the drawing pen, and more.
- See how easy it is to install and manage
new Custom Shapes and Styles in Photoshop so that you
can make things that are creative and unique.
- Learn advanced tricks for using tools
that you already know and love.
- Watch me make some beautiful papers and
get a chance to peek inside of my layers. (Oh dear...
That is the last frontier and I might be out of my mind
to let you do it... NOBODY likes people to see inside
of their layers. It is like having visitors peek inside
of your dresser drawers. Very private stuff.)
- See a new way for coloring doodles. (I'm
betting that it will surprise you what tool I've used
to do that with, too...)
- Get "IN" on creating your own brush sets.
(You do NOT have to have those impossibly long brush sets
frustrating you anymore. In fact, when you learn this
trick, you will wonder why you haven't been using it all
along.)
- Find out why Custom Shapes are so important
to you. (Bet you didn't know...)
- Learn how to cut out a title from a background
or a photo.
- And even more...
Note: These are NOT beginning
tutorials. If you get this training and you have never used
Photoshop before or if you aren't pretty sure of yourself
in the software, you are going to be lost. You simply have
to understand layers, where things are located, and all of
the basic, important skills that Ro teaches in her Scrapbook
Software Secrets Revealed series before you try
to use it. |

it? These tutorials allow you to actually watch Ro scrapbook.

lessons. You could be digitally scrapbooking today!
