"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!!!!

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! I am sooo happy for you two!!! I wish that I could give you a big hug!!!! I am so truly happy!
As for the nausea...start small, eat frequently. Try to drink fluids. For a little while I could only eat popsicles. Then for a while I could only eat fruit. It got to the point for me where I had to start taking Zofran. Eric would wake me up in the morning and I would take one and then fall back asleep. By the time I woke up to get ready I felt better. The best part is the the nausea will pass and then you will really be able to enjoy this wonderful, miraculous pregnancy. I knew that God would bless you and Tim! Please keep me updated!!!!
You both really really deserve it.
We send you millions of congrats cuddles. You give us hope Christie xxxx
yay! Just read your facebook comment, so I had to come check your blog! I was really sick with Grace too... just try to eat through it with WHATEVER sounds good- otherwise the feeling lingers... ugh! Even if you just suck on a sucker, that helps! I'm sorry, but I'm SO EXCITED for you! It will get better!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
