And Baby Makes 4

I haven't kept up with this blog in the least bit. After writing my last post over a year ago, we met with a new RE and decided to try on our own a bit more, and lo and behold, we were given a miracle. At the end of October 2009, I randomly tested and got a BFP. We were given another miracle to cherish and we like to think that this one was sent down to us from my husband's mother-in-law who passed away two weeks before our BFP. Our little boy, Shane, was born on July 2, 2010 and is already 4 months old and the size of a six month old. This journey to be where we are today as a family was filled with so much sorrow, but I can say that the happiness truly outweighs the trying times we had. I still look back at our journey and wonder how we got here and I'm not going to lie, I still have those little bits of pain that come along every once in awhile when I a friend announces they're pregnant. But no one knows everyone's stories, I have to remind myself. And while some of our close family and friends know our story or parts of it, no one knows how anyone truly feels until they have gone through it themselves. I am truly blessed to have this family and can only hope that somehow, someway my story helps others along the way. We by no means had it as difficult as some couples, but our story is one that shows that hope is out there. I'm not sure if I'll keep this blog going much. We have a blog for Paige and will probably start one for Shane or a family one in the coming months. I'm grateful for all the support I have gotten over the past few years. We truly are blessed.
