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 30th, 2009 - 1st Ultrasound!!!!

Our 1st Ultrasound! My beta # has jumped up to 11,082!!! We saw 2 sacks (twins!) – so both embryos we transferred implanted! I am 6 weeks today – we were not able to see the heartbeats, but we will come back next week and will hopefully see them then.

To our children - We want you to know that we have never been so anxious for anything in our lives as we are to meet you. We pray for you everyday. I like to pray for you in your bedroom because it makes me feel close to you. We can't wait to meet you and want you to know that we love you more than anything. We are both excited to teach and share so many things with you. I think you will see that we are both two big kids ourselves. Most of all we pray that you enjoy our God. We pray that you will believe Him, trust Him, and seek Him. We pray that you grow in Godliness everyday and become a man/woman after God's own heart. There are so many things we long to teach you: how important family is, how to fish, ski, wakeboard, surf, hunt, back a boat in the water, play all sports, how to camp and build a campfire, where I grew up, how to cook your Dad's favorite meals, how to go creek riding, how to make fish traps and hunt for worms, etc. We have many fun years ahead! I also pray that you stay away from the evil of the world. I am scared to think of the evil things that you will face in your lifetime because this old world is getting worse as the years go by. But stay close to God and he will provide you with the tools you need to fight the enemy, and he will protect and keep you. Remeber there are two words that will change your life forever: "Yes Lord." We love you and can't wait to see your precious faces.
