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. :)




September 2009

So we embark into the IVF (in-vitro fertilization) world.  We were told that even with IVF that we would only have a 50% chance of success.  But to me that sounded a WHOLE lot better than the 10% chance with IUI.  Anyone that knows me knows I hate needles and shots!  Well by this point I am immune to having my blood drawn, but I still am nervous about the shots.  But I am willing to do anything to be able to hold our own baby.  And yes that even means eating royal jelly (NASTY) twice a day-anything that google said would help increase fertility we did it.  Hopefully I will respond to the shots well and that will take care of my side of the infertility issue and by doing IVF that takes care of the male factor in infertility.

We were very blessed to get to get to play on the river every minute possible this past summer as you can see in the pictures.  I wish we would have kept up with how many hours we spent on the boat b/c we live for summer!!! Check out my surfing video below. This is one of our favorite things to do behind the boat.
