WE ARE PREGNANT

That's right Ladies and Gentleman.......... Ryan and I are expecting our 1st baby on January 24th, 2011
I am 12 weeks pregnant.

As most of you know we started IVF in January and were successful on our 1st attempt, however that pregnancy ended at 4.5 weeks with a miscarriage or chemical pregnancy on March 24th. We had to wait until my bloodwork came back negative and it did twice, well on May 21st I had been waiting and waiting for Aunt Flo and it never came so I took a pregnancy test, knowing it would be negative because Ryan and I had tried naturally for more than a year without any luck. Well I peed on a stick and went and got a pop, came back and said.......... 'Holy Shit' it's positive, we did it naturally no IVF......... WHAT?? I got in my car and went to Walgreens and bought like 3 more boxes of test to make sure it was right........ Yup Pregnant.I called Ryan who was in Tucson at a conference, he wasnt answering so I kept calling and calling until he answered. He was mad that I was calling but then said 'babe, I'm pregnant' he was shocked and didnt know what to say. The next day I called the Dr and she told me to come in for blood work and turns out I was pregnant. We wanted to wait until I was 12 weeks to tell anyone and we are soooo excited to be welcoming a child into our family.

Sooooooooo the even better news................. IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!
