My Eggo is Prego!

Today, I am so excited to share that my best friend got me pregnant (and yes - I'm talking about Cameron)! It's true...after all this time I am KNOCKED UP!! The most unbelievable and miraculous part about it is that it happened the old fashioned way! No IVF, no fertility meds, only the wondrous hand of God. Apparently a little surgery and a Hilton Head vacation was all we needed...maybe the Zehring fertilness rubbed off! Anyway, our dreams have finally come true and we couldn't be happier! We are due on February 8th, 2009.

All of the praying...all of the TEARS...all of the "trying"...all of the negative pregnancy tests...all of the ovulation kits...more of the TEARS (every month)...more of the prayers...all of the doctors appointments...all of the sleepless nights...all of the "what ifs?"....all of the stress...all of the tests....all of the procedures to treat my Endometriosis...all of the procedures to get pregnant...more of the TEARS...more of the prayers...has FINALLY come down to this miracle of life growing in me right now!

I will be a posting fool from this day forward - we will have A LOT to share in the upcoming months so stay tuned! Thank you for your support & prayers through our journey of infertility. It means so much to have those close to us share in our long awaited joy!

Psalm 127:3
Behold, children are a gift of the LORD,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
