It’s been almost one month since we found out that our treasured embryo baby did not make it. So many friends have reached out to ask me how we’re dealing with the loss. Your love and support have touched my heart so deeply. It’s been an emotional time in our lives. I’d be lying if I said that it’s been easy. Loss of any kind is always hard. Walking this road of going deeper with God when it … [Read more...]
until heaven
Today we found out that our precious embryo baby has not made it. Our hearts are tender and we're very tearful. We always knew that the chances of this baby surviving in my womb were so very slim, but still it's painful. So many of you have been praying with us. You have supported us from the time I first shared our embryo adoption journey. You interceded when we moved them to a clinic where … [Read more...]
have your way
How can I ever thank you all enough for all the prayers for our snowflake baby (who is officially known as 'the fighter' around here)? We are so, so grateful. With life as busy as it has been, the days seem to have flown by and in less than two days I will have my official blood work done. I have tried to keep my Facebook updated, but for those of you who only follow along here, I wanted to let … [Read more...]
life
Anthony and I are so grateful for so many of you who are praying for our snowflake baby. Today is Day Four post transfer. Whew! It's been crazy emotional.

There is something so very special about knowing that there is the tiniest of God's human … [Read more...]

almost there, my tiniest loves
After a very tearful goodbye, I left my family this morning and flew out of state. As I sit snuggled up in my hotel room tonight, I miss them so much already. SO much! I cannot help but thank God for the amazing children He has given us and the husband He has blessed me with. What an incredible man after God's own heart the Father has given me to share this life with! A man who loves his God … [Read more...]
the home stretch
As many of you know, we're partnering with our friends at Snowflake® to create more of an awareness about embryo adoption. Part of that has been making a series of videos, Facebook posts and blog posts journalling our adoption journey. Today I'll share a few more questions we get asked and some other thoughts. I cannot believe that in just five days I will get to see the first pictures of our … [Read more...]
six days away
Anthony shares: Six days away. So many thoughts racing through my mind. Will one survive? Will two survive? What about three? Four?? What if all four survive the thaw? How many will then take? One? Two?... In a short time, we will know the answers to these questions. But there’s one more question I’ve often asked myself—what if NONE survive? What will this journey have been … [Read more...]
