Our Miracle Baby!

Two years ago, Matt and I did not know the journey that God would take us on to get to this day. I have never in my life felt so grateful for one simple word...
There are so many emotions we have felt since the day we took that test... Shocked, over-joyed, elated, worried, grateful, happy, and most of all so BLESSED!

I can't believe I am typing these words... I AM PREGNANT with a beautiful baby due DECEMBER 3rd!!

I am 12.5 weeks today and I can't wait to share all the events with you on how we got to this day! This has been a long 3 months of keeping a secret and Matt and I am so excited to shout our good news!

I will blog the whole story in the next few days and I hope that anyone that is going through infertility will find some inspiration and motivation through my journey because you can never lose HOPE!

    Oh my goodness! This is INCREDIBLE news! I have a miracle baby as well; there are only a few other women in the world with my disease who have been able to bring children into this world and my little girl will be 16 months next week! I feel so blessed both of us survived the pregnancy and I didn't lose my transplanted kidney.

    Yippee! God is good!

    Our stories are similar. And, after 7 years of infertility, 5 IUI's, 3 cycles of IVF (each resulting in a miscarriage), waiting the past year to adopt, I am pregnant - on our own! I'm due December 21st. I definitely know all the emotions y'all have had since finding out.

    Congratulations!
