Big News!

 We have some big news. This has been a few months in the works. In December this happened.
Why is this big news? Of course this is always big news for anyone but this was our Christmas miracle! Most people do not know this (except for family) but, for over 9 years Jared and I have struggled with infertility. I know from the outside looking in you would not even guess this. But for the first few years of our marriage I wondered and worried about weather or not we would be able to have children. I started having "female" problems before Jared and I were even engaged. I walked into my marriage knowing having children might be a challenge. When I got pregnant with Grayson it was with our very first round of any fertility treatment. I thought well this will be nice I will just take a pill when we decided we want to get pregnant. Well, .... we were using fertility for 2 years with a miscarriage about a year in to get Kyler here. With Karlee I have never received a stronger impression from our Heavenly Father than when I was told I needed to start trying to get pregnant again. Kyler was barely a year old and I was not ready to go through 2 years of fertility again. However I got pregnant our second month on fertility. Yea! Except, I had another miscarriage. I was upset that I would be told to do this only to have it ripped from me! I did get pregnant two months later with Karlee.
    When I had Karlee I felt our next child was going to come much sooner than I even knew. Jared and I had started talking about and praying about starting to try again maybe late this next summer. WELL............God had other plans for us! In December I don't even know why I felt I needed to take a pregnancy test. I thought to myself  "this is ridicules"  NEVER had we ever gotten pregnant on our own! I took it not knowing what to expect. When I read the test and it said positive I thought this is wrong! I pulled out the instructions just to make sure. It took me almost 24 hours to come to terms enough to tell Jared. Jared thought I was joking when I told him. He then asked me if I was taking fertility drugs without him knowing! It took the two of us several weeks to be able to wrap our minds around this. For me I don't think it became officially real until I had my first doctors appointment.

WELL WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!
    On March 9th (My Birthday) I had a doctors appointment. The baby is doing great ! We found out we are having another GIRL! (My doc. is 90% sure) This is so exciting for us and I could not have asked for a better birthday gift than to get to see this new baby and know that everything is great and she is developing the way she needs to! THIS IS GOING TO BE A FUN ADVENTURE!
