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. :)




Wednesday, December 16, 2009 - BEST DAY OF OUR LIFE!!

This is the day we have been longing for! Today they will call with the results from my blood test (anything >20 hcg level is a positive pregnancy test). I have been on pins and needles all day! I kept my phone at my side all day. Then finally the call came later that afternoon after having given blood for it that morning! The nurse made me nervous b/c she was dragging out telling me. And then she finally said “I am just calling to give you the results of your beta test and your level was 122, congratulations you’re pregnant.” PRAISE GOD IT’S POSITIVE!!!!!! I was SO excited! I had a very special way of telling Jason planned if it was positive so I couldn’t wait to tell him! I had already had 2 migraines that day and wasn’t feeling great, and he was down in the shop. I have also had 5 migraines in the last 4 days. I called him and asked him if he could come help me b/c I wasn’t feeling good and I had taken red paint and painted on my belly “BABY (IES)” with an arrow pointing to my belly. When he came in the bedroom I asked him to look at my stomach b/c I thought I was breaking out. (This would not have been unusual b/c I had been experiencing some really weird symptoms all throughout this process due to all of the meds.) When I pulled my shirt up and he saw it his face lit up and he kept saying “What’d they say, so it worked?!?” Then he said “I’m gonna be a daddy!” “Let’s go take a picture!” I also have had a little onesie that has a stroller on it and says “That’s how I roll” for over a year now I have been waiting to be able to give him. He loved it! I can’t explain how excited we were and the joy that we felt! After all of those calls from the doctor saying “I’m sorry, it didn’t work”, we finally heard the news we had been waiting on! We immediately called my family (his family still have no clue of anything we have been doing), and our close friends. Of course we know it is early on, and we have to wait until our next blood test in 6 days to see if my beta # is increasing as much as it should to indicate that the pregnancy is progressing as it should.
