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. :)

Our 7 week ultrasound. I have been VERY nauseated and the thought smell or sight of food makes me sick. Funny thing is there is one thing that when I think of it I think oh man that would taste good and that’s sour Granny Smith green apples ha ha! But man they are great! The morning of the ultrasound, Jason had left the house before me to get some work done in town before we left to go to the doctor. I walked into the bathroom and turned and faced the toilet when I felt like my head and body was spinning and I couldn’t control it then everything went black and I passed out. I fell forward and hit my head on the door facing to the toilet area. I am very lucky b/c if I would have been standing 3 inches to the right I would have probably busted my face on the toilet and lost some teeth. It scared me to death b/c I didn’t know what had happened and I was so startled. But for some reason I went and laid down in the bed and fell asleep. I woke up about 20 min later and realized that I had cut my head when I fell and was bleeding on the pillow. I just remember feeling very weird and I called Jason and had him to talk to me until I got out to town where he was b/c I just didn’t feel right. Well I ate a sausage and biscuit and drank a bottle of OJ on the way to the doctor. When I got to the doctor they checked my sugar and it was 64. So there is no telling how low it was when I passed out that morning before I had ate or drank anything , hence the reason why I passed out. So now the doctors want me to keep food by my bed and if I wake up during the night eat some of it and eat something in the bed before I get up b/c they said for some reason being pregnant is causing my blood sugar to drop. Anyway so at my ultrasound the smaller of the two sacks had stopped growing so we are down to one baby. However to everyone’s surprise the second sack split so now we have identical twins! This is very exciting to me b/c identical twins are not a result of IVF or fertility drugs – they are just a God thing. But there was only 1 heartbeat. The one with the h/b measured 6weeks 1day and other one measured 5weeks 5days. So they are both a little bit behind due to splitting. We are hoping that the other one will catch up and get a little h/b in the next couple days. Since they are measuring behind we are just hoping that is the reason why there isn’t a h/b on the smaller one. It seems as though every time we leave the doctor’s office from an ultrasound visit we always leave dishearted.
