More exciting news!!!




So, I am super excited to finally be able to say that we are adding to our little family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most of you know that we have issues with infertility. I thought Reagan was hard, but she was nothing compared to this go around! We did fertility drugs with her and it happened pretty quickly once we figured out what was wrong. She ended up taking a little over a year. This time, we had to do fertility drugs again, but I thought it would happen quickly again since now we knew how to fix it. Not so! This time we did the drugs and also Intra-uterine Insemination, ie. artificial insemination, ie. the turkey baster! :) Yeah, good times!! No, not really. We only had two months left before my doctor wanted me to go on a six month break, so the pressure was on. It didn't work the first month, which was really hard to take in, but it worked on the last shot qualifier!! Overall, we'd been trying a year and a half when it finally worked. I think it was actually harder this time for two reasons: 1.) I was on a timeline that I couldn't control and Reagan was just getting older the the gap wider; and 2.) I knew what I was missing. Anyways!!! It worked and we are so excited! I am 2 months along, which I know is still early, but I couldn't not say any longer!!! I love it and could not be happier. I am due in March, which is when I wanted to be, but a year ago! :) But I'm not complaining, I feel so blessed that it happening for us again after many, many, many months of discouragment. I know that it is only happening because of many prayers, fasting, blessings, and faith (not always mine). I put pictures of the little bean's ultrasound at 6 1/2 weeks--- 6 1/2 mm long. I also have a picture of how we told our families with this card I made. MANY MANY thanks to all of you who said prayers. I know it is because of this that we have this blessing.

WAHOO! Congrats! I've been waiting and wondering what's been going on. I know it's been a touchy subject, so I haven't dared really ask, but I am so happy for you. I had know idea what extremes you have had to go to, but you will be blessed. Such stress you have been through with all of this and moving...How have you been feeling? When exactly are you due? I really am excited for you. When do you find out what you are having? There is such a difference between one and two... and even more I hear between 2 and 3--- haven't crossed that bridge yet... but oh how your love just grows. Congrats again, and keep me updated!

YEAH! SO EXCITING! I bet you have learned a lot a patience through that trial. Maybe that's one of the many reasons why you are so amazing. Congratulations! I am so excited for you. Those little buggers I believe come when they are ready to come. I so glad you didn't have to wait 6 months to start trying again. What a wonderful blessing.
