Showering us with love....

I cannot believe all of the sweet folks that have graciously offered to help with a shower!!! It's so funny to get emails saying, " what can I do to help?!!!" Even calls asking when I will go on bed rest and what can they cook! Simply amazing and gets us right in our hearts.

These babies have been prayed for and in several months they will be welcomed with open arms by a ton of excited friends and family. Some old and some new. What a beautiful thought. Nothing and I mean nothing could ever ruin that image.

My friend Julia bought her beds for the arrival of her twins. It was super neat to see two little beds in a nursery. What a good feeling for her and Adam. She has become my sister in fertility. Thanks for all the encouragement and advice Julia.


As for my other prayer warriors.... You girls rock. I have an appt next week then another one two weeks later. We should find out the babes sexes at that visit!!! Any guesses?!

The trips are growing like weeds!

Today we went to the doc and saw the three munchkins again. It's funny, you face so much rejection and hear so many no's during the infertility struggle that when things are actually going well- you wait for the other shoe to drop. So before each appointment I let negativity get the best of me. All for nothing!

I think each appointment makes me stronger and confirms that God has a plan for these three babes. Each day I am almost moved to tears by how our story is turning out. I mean, this could still be a daily struggle. We could still be chasing that, "let's do one more ivf and it will work." I am relieved to be off that train but my heart still aches for those still riding. It's a feeling that never leaves you. I guess when you fight for anything that long you are left with scars.

I can't wait to tell these kids one day how hard we fought and many tears were shed the day after Thanksgiving when we found out we were pregnant. How appropriate, Thanksgiving. It was my favorite holiday and over the last Four years-the hardest holiday. I guess I will have to claim it a fav again.

We originally transferred three eggs. The embryologist said the 3rd didn't look good and more than likely wouldn't stick-guess we had a fighter. That feels like yesterday, and as we pass the three month marker- it feels much safer to get down the road. Looking forward to finding out what the sexes are.

Our appointment was perfect today. I cant believe we can see so much already. Those heartbeats blow my mind. I still can't believe this is happening to us, that it was actually our turn. I am forever grateful to Dr.Selah and his team and of course God for holding their hands and giving them the knowledge.

Some days are good. Some days are bad.

Yesterday was wonderful. We had another doctors appointment and saw the trips. They are growing perfectly and we could not believe we could already see hands and feet! We will see my ob or the specialist every two weeks. This makes us feel super secure. He said they are all growing on track, had healthy beats and looked good. I think each week/appointment that passes we become more secure. Feels good! We got more pics and this time they will go on our fridge!!! We have given all the Others away, but not this time ;)

Today was bad. The trips are great, work was not. It can't just all mesh, can it? That would just be way to much to ask I guess.

Starting January with a bang

well today is January 6th and Julia suggested I start a blog. She is so right. This has been such a journey...one that I am grateful for, and never want to forget. I keep forgetting who I have told we are pregnant and the ones I have forgotten. I think we are still in lala land. We are ten weeks and still cannot believe we are pregnant. You would think it would have sunken in by now! I have only purchased a few onesies and diapers so far....oh and a Doppler! I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I begged God for a child, and he has given me three.
