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. :)




Friday March 12 - The test results

The nurse called today and said that they finally got the results back from my tests, but the doctor would be out all next week so she set up a phone call for her to explain them to me on March 22nd. Well you would think that this whole process would have caused me to obtain more patience but not so much ha ha. After debating I called them back and was able to get them to give me the results. Both tests came back normal - I assume that is a good thing. I'm sure the doctor will explain in detail on the 22nd, but basically it means that my body didnt attack the babies or prevent blood from getting to them. I am actually relieved to know that it wasnt something that could have been detected and treated prior to the procedure. I guess that just means that the loss was one of those things that just happens b/c God says so, and we just have to trust and believe. Our next step is an SIS test to make sure that there isnt any scar tissue from the surgery that could cause problems with the next ivf cycle. Please keep us in your prayers that the SIS test will be perfectly normal.

Today is my best friend's birthday and she got an exciting gift in the mail - her bog box of ivf meds!!! I should add that for her birthday I gave her cotton balls and band-aids ha ha. I am so excited for her to get started on this amazing journey! And hopefully we will be able to share our pregnancies together very soon!
