This is why...

This blog has been created to give our family and friends an idea of our journey through infertility and the steps we chose to take to make our dream of becoming parents a reality. There may be a few graphic details here and there, along with some fun photos, but most importantly, we wanted to document these events in our lives for our future children and for anyone else who dreams of becoming a parent. Enjoy!

Here we go...

So we had our first IVF appointment today with Dr. H at 7:00 AM!!! And believe it or not, that is a late appointment. :) Everything went well. Dr. H did an ultrasound to make sure everything looked good and took measurements to prepare for the IVF. She also did a trial transfer where she pretended to transfer the embryos so that on the day of the actual transfer she will have all the proper tools that she needs with her. (I guess the tools can vary depending on the size of the uterus). We are slowly figuring out the financial situation but so far, so good. It seems to be working itself out and God is definitely providing. Our next appointment will be on July 26th but sometime during the next couple of weeks, we will receive our calendar with all our major doctor appointments and we will take a class where Darryl will learn to give me all the many shots that I will need. Thank you so much to all our friends and family who have been so supportive! We appreciate your love and prayers and all the uplifting messages. This has also been a pretty awesome week because we get to have my brother Daniel, his wife Jackie, and their two sons Cristian and Gabriel stay with us. We look forward to spending lots of time with them before they go back to Georgia.

‎"Because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead, your FAITH and HOPE can be placed confidently in God." 1 Peter 1:21

Prayer Requests: 1. That we will continue to trust God 2. That will be able to add a healthy baby (or babies) to our family within the next year
