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, January 11, 2010 - Could We Please Just Have One Exciting Ultrasound Visit????

Today is our follow-up ultrasound to check on the h/b of the smaller one. There was one strong h/b on the larger one and it is measuring 6 weeks 4 days. There is still no h/b on the smaller one but it did grow! It is now measuring 6 weeks 1 day. But I can tell the nurse is concerned about something. She said that the yolk sack was larger than they normally like to see it. But she said that nothing my body had done since day one has been “normal” so she really didn’t know what to think. We asked in unison what it meant when the yolk sack is larger than it should be. And she responded with “I hate to tell patients this b/c it could be nothing, but it usually means that there is a heart defect, chromosome defect, or something wrong with the baby/babies.” Again laying on the same table as last week my heart sunk. Why can’t I just go have an ultrasound and hear good news and leave excited. I didn’t know what to say, I just sat there emotionless. She suggested that we go see their expert u/s tech in B’ham for a second opinion. So we scheduled that for Thursday. Boy this was going to be the longest 3 days of my life waiting. We left the doctor’s office again dishearted. I had been so sick that me and Jason went to Babies R Us to get me some more Preggie Drops (candy that helps with nausea). I can’t take the prescription meds at work b/c they knock me out. So the candy helps to ease it a little. I am very grateful for Jason for so many reasons but it’s at times like this when he is just so caring and supportive that emphasizes that even more. He kept trying to get me to look at all of the baby furniture and strollers “and all” (that’s for you Jason) to get me to thinking about something happy involving the babies.
