WE ARE PREGNANT!!!
This morning was surreal! We went in early for our bloodwork and then began the waiting game! I have to admit I was more nervous this morning than I have been this entire journey. It took a lot of prayer to get me out of the car at the doctor...ha! Our sweet nurse called us around 10:00 with such exciting news! My HCG level was good and we are definitely pregnant! PRAISE GOD!

| Waiting to go in...a little nervous! |
What's next??? This journey is far from over...really this is a new beginning point for us! (And yes...I will continue blogging!) San Antonio will continue to monitor us until I reach the 12-week point. Currently I am at 4-weeks. They will monitor my progesterone and estradiol level so that they can adjust my patches and shots until we get to 12-weeks. I will probably be going in next week for more bloodwork to make sure my HCG level is rising appropriately. Now that these bab(ies) are in there...we want to make sure they stay! We have no way of knowing whether there is one baby or two yet, but they should be checking that in about 2-3 weeks! We are praying right now for whatever God has planned for us....and that our children are healthy...whether that be 1 or 2!

Thank you thank you thank you to our sweet friends and family who have been through this journey with us! We are so blessed by the outpouring of prayers and love! We could not have made it through without you by our sides! Thank you for your patience with us this morning! I really could not wait to get on here and let everyone know! Give God the GLORY because He has truly answered our prayers! And please don't stop praying yet! This is a beginning...we are now praying for a healthy pregnancy that will end sometime in March with us getting to hold our precious bab(ies)!
We love you all!

DeleteHey Heather! I came across your blog from Hillary's Facebook page and have loved reading about your story! I am SO excited for ya'll! Isn't God amazing?! I just had my first baby this past May and I can tell you that pregnancy and motherhood is amazing! :)I saw that we had a few other things in common too! I know Hillary from going to ASU and we were both in Phi Lamb together. She is so sweet! I'm also a teacher and my parents, Donnie & Ella Snodgrass are also involved in Coaches Outreach and have been for over 30 yrs.
