I can't believe this is happening to me!!!!

Well it is our time, everyone told me it would happen and I would roll my eyes but it really did happen.....Tim and I are Finally Pregnant..I am going to attach a letter written by my husband that sums up the whole experience.


"As you well know the past two years Christie and I have been trying to begin a family together, while the process has been more difficult than we could have imagined, we found out yesterday it will all be worth it! We went to the doctor yesterday and heard our baby’s heartbeat. There was a chance we were having twins but the ultrasound yesterday indicated that we are lucky enough to spoil just one child. Christie has been amazing through all of the procedures, needles, surgeries, tests that she has had to endure these past 24 months. We wanted to take this opportunity and personally thank each and every one of you for the love, support, and prayers you have sent our way. Due to the timing of the news, we were trying to determine the best way to let people know. The summer months can be hard to see people on a daily basis Words cannot begin to describe how excited, thankful, and blessed the two of us are feeling. We are only 6 weeks into the pregnancy which is extremely early, but we wanted to let each of you know the progress since you have been there supporting us each step of the way. "

Well it has been a long emotional and physical journey for me....I ended up having 29 eggs which caused a lot if health problems extreme abdominal swelling(I gained 12 pounds of fluid in my belly in 2 days) and pain but it was all worth it. 25 of them fertilized with no problem so needless to say we have enough frozen embryos for a few families.... I am now going through the nausea all day long phase and extreme fatigue. I am hoping that this wears off so I can enjoy this pregnancy. I'm determined to enjoy this pregnancy after all this is what I fought for so long and hard... I really thought it was going to be more glamorous than this.....

Any tips suggestions ...tips for nausea control would be awesome the only thing that helps is if I eat through the nausea which is not easy and try and stay full all day long which requires a lot of eating that I just do not feel like doing.....


I still can't believe this is happening to us......God is faithful!!!!

Mattie's Married

















What a whirlwind my little brother is married and yes I cried like a baby.  It was crazy for me to see him all grown up standing at the altar and especially to see my dad sobbing.  Last of 4 to be married and we have officially all grown up and moved out.  My parents finally have an empty nest.... The wedding was beautiful one funny story they had us get pictures by a barn off 109 and we all had ticks everywhere....we were freaking out as soon as we got to the reception we had tick checks.  I think Timmy won he had 8 of them.....I couldn't find any on me which creeps me out maybe I couldn't find them and they are there......I hate ticks.....
Matt and Carol are in the Dominican I'm sure they are having a blast...
Tommy's best man speech was so cute he found a letter Matt wrote him in 1993 that was signed "your biggest best friend" it was really sweet!!!!
