Welcome to Our Journey

When Cliff and I met many moons ago during our very first conversation together, we discussed how many children we each wanted; it was meant to be when we both said "five." Maybe it was the late night talking, but we both wanted a big family. After many years of trying to have babies with no success, we found ourselves becoming foster parents and then adopting a beautiful little boy with blue eyes and blond hair; we were on our way to growing our family. Then a few years later I found myself driving to Vegas with my father in law for one of my first appointments for a round of IVF. Cliff was working that day in Amarillo. After a lot of Dr. appointments, shots, and other meds, our baby girls were born 6 weeks early in a hospital in Ft. Worth. Now we are a family of five and have an embryo that has been calling my name for months. So welcome to our journey as we shoot for baby number four. I don't know where this is taking us or if it will work, but God gave us that little embryo and I am trusting him for the outcome. This is a place for me to tell you my thoughts as well as keep everyone informed of what we are doing and all the steps to get us to baby transfer day. I kept a blog with our round of IVF, and it is so cool to go back and read our stories. Please feel free to leave your comments and questions. It is a very exciting time in our family. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we trust God for our next little one.
