The Ingram’s – Our saying has always been when it’s right it’s right and when you know, you know. And we knew we were meant to spend a lifetime together immediately. We live on the TN river in Rogersville, AL, and are true to the core “river rats”. We absolutely love spending every minute possible in and on the water with friends and family, and we are very blessed that our families live close to us. We enjoy anything outdoors- wakeboarding, surfing, skiing, fishing, hunting, and traveling. But we also both share the same dream to have a family. I remember when we were doing our pre-martial counseling with our preacher that he asked us how many kids we wanted to have and we said 4. And yes we would still love a house full, and we still have hopes for 4. But it appears that we will be very blessed if we are able to have just one. So far we have experienced a very emotional and physical journey trying to see our dream of having children come true. But this is our story-The Ingram’s River Ride, and we wanted to have a way so that all of our friends and family from near and far could have a way to keep up with what was going on with our baby journey. So sit back and enjoy our “river ride”. I want to be sure and say first of all that if it wasn’t for the following I wouldn’t have made it through all of this # 1 God and the faith and hope he provides # 2 Jason– he is my rock- the love and care he gives me is so amazing to me and # 3 The love and support from SO MANY who we are blessed to call our friends and family from near and far. We are RICHLY blessed to have so many people who care about us and pray for us and please know that we are so grateful for each and every one of you. I have tried to go back and capture everything that has happened in the last year so I am sure I will forget some things. And I might as well apologize ahead of time if the blog seems as though a 4th grader is submitting the posts because I have a hard time putting my thoughts on paper and that along with my “kuntry lingo” should be interesting. :)




Monday, December 7, 2009 - Embryos Transfer Day!!!



EMBRYO TRANSFER DAY!!!!! (ET DAY) Only 3 embryos survived until this day from our original 6. Once again we travel to B'ham bright and early in the morning, but oh what an exciting day! I don’t have to be put to sleep for this procedure and Jason got to suit up to go back in the operating room with me. Jason got to watch Dr. Honea put our two babies in on the screen and I could tell he was smiling under his mask and tearing up - so special and sweet. Above are the two babies (embryos) we transferred. Obviously one is better quality and more developed than the other. After the procedure Dr. Honea prayed with us. We have to wait and see if the third one survives until tomorrow to be frozen. The bigger one is graded as an A-. She said that was an excellent quality and that they don’t see many that great. The smaller one was graded as fair quality with less than 5% fragmentation. She said there was a 50% chance that the good one would take and a 20% chance that the fair one would take. The procedure was not painful but now I have to be on bed rest (couch rest) for a few days to allow the babies to “stick”.

This picture was taken as we were leaving the hospital in Birmingham after the transfer. We were so excited and very anxious! We will not find out until 9 days if it was a success. But I am now technically "PUPO" - pregnant until proven otherwise. Ha ha Now it's in God's hands which gives me great peace because that is right where I want it. We have so many prayer warriors praying for us and that is a huge blessing to us and something we are very grateful for! We can't thank you all enough!
