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. :)




October 28, 2009 - Beach Bound!!!





We took a long weekend trip to Santa Rosa Island the first weekend of October and it was so refreashing to get away before we start the whole IVF process. It was a very unplanned trip, which I love. We decided on Thursday to pack up that night and leave the next day. The weather was perfect and we had an amazing time. We got to snorkel a lot and rented scooters and rode from one end of the island to the other and the scenery was just gorgeous! Riding our scooters was just like that picture with gorgeous beach and water on both sides of the road for as long as you could see.
As odd as it sounds the IVF process involves taking birth control pills (bcp) for so many days prior to starting the fertility drugs. This is to suppress your body and make it so the doctors can take over and control it. I started my bcp today and had to take them for 21 days.
