Our Gift

Shane and I have been trying for the past year and a half to have a baby. This was a very emotional time as I would be waiting each month not to have my period only to be disappointed when it would arrive each month right on schedule. I consulted with my doctor only to be left feeling completely helpless, but still hoping that there would be some comfort or light at the end of the tunnel. I decided that it would be best to see a different DR. and this is what made all the difference in the world. She was and has been fabulous throughout the whole process. She prescribed me to a fertility drug while waiting to see a specialist. While waiting to take the drug low and beyond it happened. Shane and I are PREGNANT and expecting our baby the end of July. I'm 13 weeks along and couldn't be happier. We've been to hear the heartbeat and this was such a special experience. It made everything feel more real and I'm anxious and excited for everything that lies ahead. I've been sick since week 6 and having a really hard time waking up every morning at 5am to go to work. Especially when I have to deal with the stress of my job, but I know that it will all be well worth it. I've been super tired...going to bed at 730pm most nights. They say that people eat for two, but I must disagree...I have been sleeping for two. I don't have any pictures yet, but we will be going for the ultrasound the beginning of March where it will make everything more real and we'll find out if it's a boy or girl!! Ava wants a sister more than anything, but Shane and I will just be happy to have a healthy, happy baby. I'll keep you all in suspense, but until then I'll share some pictures of our latest happenings.
