Well it is time for a new blog spot for friends and family to follow...
First we would like to introduce you to "Mini Coop" above and will have this site as a way for everyone to keep up to date with our family to be.
We have experienced a lot of things together as a couple and have had a lot of wonderful things come about as well.
I went to the doctor at the beginning of 2011 for some follow up with birth control and what our options were. (For many of you that may not be aware, John and I had problems conceiving for almost 4 years and decided that adoption was our best option to have a family.) I had lost weight by working out and was hoping I was on the right track to having a child of our own even with the adoption year plus wait that we had already been doing. His explanation was that I need to keep losing weight and that I would never be able to have a child because of my metabolism. His explanation consisted of some women being made like Mercedes and some like Volkswagens. I was the Volkswagen because I was a basic make and did not have all of the fancy options available like the Mercedes. I was so heartbroken and had called John immediately after leaving the clinic and then started seeing a new doctor. At my first appointment I gave the same information and was told to quit the pills and if anything abnormal started again, to be in contact.
For four months in a row, I had the same cycle on the same day, which for some of you to read you may think...yea so what is your point? Well for me this was a milestone because I never had this happen without being on some type of medication. Long story short it did not arrive in October, I talked with a friend and church and wa-la we took a test and here we are today. There are more details but not for everyone to hear about. We had our first ultrasound November 25th, a second appointment thereafter and will now be going back on January 20th to learn if our baby is a boy or girl.
Our whole thought process on this has been overwhelming and unbelievable but we do know that God put us through many obstacles to make sure we were able to handle them all and put us where we are today. John and I both agree that this is completely backward, but we would not change it for anything. As for the adoption, we had to put it on hold for a while and can decide down the road if we want to pick up where we left off, but for now we know we have a miracle in the making and are just letting our hearts sink in everything. <3
We are very thankful for such a wondering and caring group of friends & family who have been there for us through our ups and downs and have watched over us throughout this whole journey. ~* We THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts *~
