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, February 22, 2010 - FINALLY!

I got my blood work results back from Friday and my hcg level is finally low enough that they can do the two tests on me to see if I am producing antibodies that attacked the babies or if my blood clotted and prevented blood and nutrients from going to the babies. So Thursday I will give 8 vials of blood for those two tests and we should have the results back next week. If one of those tests is positive, it is treatable with shots. So either way, we plan on doing another IVF cycle as soon as possible, which according to Dr. Honea should be around the end of March. You are required to wait so long to allow your body to get back to normal.

Ok, here goes..........I can honestly say that I have sat here and for the last hour have read every word of this blog and have squalled like a baby. I knew that the two of you had been thru a lot, but OMGosh...... I had no idea. I don't know what to say other than - "When is our next appointment" - I am with yall 100%!!!

I tucked Gunner in just a little while ago and this was his exact prayer (I didnt really think he was paying much attention, but obviously he was) -
"God please give mommy's special friend Sandy a baby in her belly so they can play ball like me and mommy do...AMEN:)"

I was speechless..........
