10 weeks and counting

Here is an update for those of you who aren't aware of the long fertility journey that Troy and I have had to endure. We have been trying to get pregnant for almost 2 years. We had 1 unfortunate miscarriage, and then had no success after that. I knew after few months of trying that things were not going for us naturally. So being my unpaitent self, made apoointments with the Docs. I went through a series of tests, which all came back normal. This was frustrating cause I just wanted answers. We had a couple procedures done, that were again unsuccessful and left us searching for answers elsewhere. I then heard about a reproductive endocrinologist through a wonderful person going through the same thing, that I met through a mutual friend (Wendi and Sarah you guys have a lot to do with these babies). I heard how good he was and how high his success rate was. To make a long story short, we did the same procedure that was unsuccessful for us the first time, with a round of different medications to help things "work". After the procedure took place I just gave it all to God and felt a peace that I had never felt through this whole process.
When it was time, I forced myself to take a PG test, even though I didnt want to look at it and see another negative. I built up the courage to test, and there it was the darkest, most beautiful pink line I have ever seen!!! Still reluctant to get overjoyed, I showed the stick to Troy and his reaction was the same as mine, here is the beginning of a long journey and hopefully it turns out good. I had the blood tests to confirm the pregnancy and my HCG levels were very high, leading us to believe that there could be more than 1 little bean in there. So at our first ultrasound the Dr. said to hold up my fingers to count how many babies there are. In my mind I was thinking oh God dont give me more than 2. And there they were 2 little sacs. Thank GOd only 2!!!!!! The Dr. wasnt very convincing though, because before we left, he said "2 isnt my final answer"!!! I was like, what does that mean? But we are positive now that there are only 2.

Through this whole emotional roller coster of trying to conceive, I couldnt help but question God and his plans, but I have learned to trust in him because he does know best!!! He has blessed us with 2 little miracles and it has been so exciting to see them grow(from a poppyseed to a raisin), and hear the heartbeats!!!! It's amazing. We will try our best to keep this updated and show pics as the babies and I grow!!!!
