Utah Fertility Clinic

As many as you know we go to the Utah Fertility Clinic ("UFC"). We started going there in June 2011. We met with Dr. Foulk and the staff. They were so personable, kind and genuinely cared about us and our story.  Sure, there are many fertility clinics a whole heck of a lot closer to us but UFC is by far the best.   The drive to UFC is 90 miles round trip. I try not to think about how much that is costing in gas. I guess if you are taking out a loan and spending thousands upon thousands of dollars on IVF treatments then whats another $1000 in gas. Most people save up money to buy a house, a car, or go on a lavish vacation, well not us. Every paycheck I get goes into the, what I call, the IVF account.

Im grateful for my family!!
Every time as I'm waiting in the waiting room I can't help but look at all the hopeful, desperate, and stressfed couples willing do to anything just to have a child and to become parents for the first time. I reflect back on how easy it was for us to get pregnant back before I died. I was so inconsiderate. I would complain about getting so sick that I couldn't move without throwing up. Or how much I disliked how my body was changing (getting fatter and fatter is all I could see) and how I wasn't fitting into my size 2 pants anymore. It seems like everyday I was pregnant I was complaining about something. Oh, how I wish I could wind back the clock. I would be grateful for getting so deathly sick, I would be excited how my body was changing into becoming a mother, I would love and thank God every day that I could carry one of his choice children and know that God was counting on me to teach him and bring him back home. If I could give advice to anyone who is pregnant I would say be grateful for everything that motherhood brings. So many couples long to have children and would do anything at any cost to get that chance. As I tuck my babies in at night I give them an extra kiss or give them an extra long hug and thank my Father in Heaven for letting me have the chance to be a mother. and that word I cherish and hold always close to my heart.
