We paid, and tried, and paid and tried some more....then we just PRAYED!

Since Elle was six months old we stared trying to have another baby..knowing that we would have a hard time getting pregnant.
We started fertility treatments again...and then had to be sent to a fertility specialist. After tests and more treatments...the doctor said that there was no way we would get pregnant with out doing injections (this is about 2000 per try and a 16%chance we would get pregnant.) At this time he suggested that we might want to start in-vitro. Mind you this is 10,000 dollars per try and only about a 50% chance of getting pregnant. We were really sad. Dave and I decided that we would start the adoption process. After much prayer we felt this was the right way to go. The week that we were going to be getting our finances for adoption we found out WE ARE PREGNANT! We can't believe it. We are so excited as you can imagine. We are about 9 weeks along...so we are due December 17th. Elle is so excited to be a sister. It has been along time coming. We feel so blessed. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers on our behalf.

Yay for you guys!! We are so happy for you. Now just be happy every morning and evening when you have morning sickness, and when you are uncomfortable and can't sleep, and all of the other "fun" that comes with it, because you know that you wouldn't have it any other way!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

That is so amazing. This seems to happen to people quite a bit - as soon as they get the adoption process going, they get pregnant. Just another reminder that's it is not on our time - it's on the Lord's time.

I hope you have an awesome pregnancy & I am SO happy for you!!!
