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. :)

Today was a very happy day for some of our friends – Miss Haley Joe was born today and we went to see her after work. She weighed 7lbs 6oz and was 20” long. This picture was taken only a few hours after she was born and she is just beautiful! Proud parents Jonah and Kim and Big Sister Hannah are doing great!

Today I decided that from now on I want to give the doctor’s office Jason’s cell phone number to call with updates instead of mine so he can break it to me if needed. I got an unexpected call from the doctor’s office while I was at work today. She was calling with the chromosome test results of the babies. She said that both of them were normal with no chromosome abnormalities. Well that wasn’t the news we were hoping for because she said now we have to test me to see if my body is doing something that caused the loss. Then she asked if I wanted to know what they were and immediately I said yeah b/c of course you want to know. But when she said “it was 2 little boys” I got off the phone as quickly as I could and I lost it. I wanted to know and I’m glad I found out but knowing that they were boys made it that much more personal. Everything that I was suppose to get to share with them immediately started running through my head, from practicing playing ball with them to teaching them how to hunt and fish. It was in that moment that I realized even more what I had missed out on. And what made it worse was knowing that they were ok so there was a good chance that it was me – my body that caused me to lose them. I felt very guilty. Jason reassured me that God was in control and that it wasn’t anything that I did.
