Miracle #2

Yes it is true we are really having a baby, and it is in my stomach! After almost 5 years of trying, 3 IUI's, IVF, living at the doctors being a lab rat, and being told that Addyson is a walking miracle and that we would not be able to have another. For the last few months we have been blessed to be on the adoption wait list. Who would of thought the birth mothers we had been praying for would turn out to be ME?! (We still hope to adopt so please keep your eyes and ears open for us). The baby is growing wonderfully and we know how blessed we are. We moved to Caly 4 months ago and I am 3 months pregant so I guess we just needed the good old California air! We have always had faith in the Lord's plan for us but we are overwhelmed with gratitude for this miracle and answer to our prayers and the prayers of many of you. I can honesty say that miracles are real. Thank all you for your prayers on our behalf. The baby's profile. You can see the head, body, 2 little legs, and that thing coming out from the head is really the arm. During the ultrasound the baby was going crazy. He/She would not stop moving so that was the best they could get. I have been very sick and just keep telling myself that this is a good thing and that I wanted it!!! I am 11 weeks so I am really banking that next week I will be feeling a lot better since I will be in my 2nd trimester.

Sorry I missed getting together with you in Visalia in August. I didn't even finish my curtain project, it just turned out to be way more complex than I initially thought. I hope to see you again soon.

That is a crazy story! Congrats Sara!!! I am so, so, so happy for you guys! Remember my friend Celeste? Well they tried to have a baby for five years. Finally were able to adopt two years ago and she was just about to start the medication for invitro and was just waiting to start her period. Well she never started and finally took a test, she was pregnant! Crazy and amazing how things work out.

I'm sure your little girl, Addison (love the name) is thrilled! It's so fun to see your blog and cute family. Where are you in Cali? You look beautiful and very happy. Congrats again!
