YAY for Lily Rae!!! I wanted to shout it from the rooftops today! Praise God for the wonderful things He has done! And Chuck, thank you for doing the weight conversions for us. It was so NASA of you. :)
Praise the Lord! What a precious, long-awaited and much-loved little angel! I am so happy for you.
Wow, how does it feel to hold that little blessing in your arms and think back on the journey God took you on to get to this point? What a cutie pie! Thinking of you during this very, very exciting time.
Congratulations! I was thinking and praying for you all today and couldn't remember when Lily was due. Much love to mommy!! Thanks for letting us know!
You will no doubt know this from a very early age, but your mom and dad have been waiting for you for a very long time. There have been tears shed over the loss of many (far too many) of your heavenly brothers and sisters whose lives before you were far too short. There were prayers of doubt and desperation and many hopeless nights. In all of this though, your parents held on to hope that through their love, and their trust in God, something beautiful would come. And now you are here- and there is a world of bloggers- friends and strangers alike- that are celebrating your arrival. You have a very special mom, Lily Rae, that inspite of her many losses, has been an incredible source of strength and comfort to the many other women who are also holding on to hope as well- hoping for something beautiful as well. Prayers of thanksgiving have been said every day since you were born in our house, Lily Rae- Welcome to the world. May you know, without question, you are a child of God, and loved immeasurably by your parents.
I’m 38 years old and I’ve been happily married to my husband (known on this blog as "Chuck") since 1998. I was born and raised in my dear home state of Louisiana and have lived in Texas since 2001, the year we started trying to have a baby.
This blog is about what my life has been like living with infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss for nearly a decade. My faith has played a big part in helping me get through six first-trimester miscarriages. Our seventh pregnancy finally brought us our miracle girl in September 2010. Our second precious gift, another daughter, arrived in November 2012.
1/2010 Femara cycle, IUI #2 canceled due to scheduling problem at doctor's office
12/2009 Clomid cycle, IUI #1 (BFN)
12/2009 After 3 years of infertility, we decide to try Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
5/2008 I started this blog
1/2008 Laparoscopy: Removal of scar tissue and moderate endometriosis
10/2007 Biopsy - Endometrial Function Test (EFT): Results - Glandular Developmental Arrest (GDA), but doctor believes my pregnancy losses are caused by multiple factors
8/2007 Hysterosalpingogram (HSG): Results - normal
7/2007 Began seeing current Fertility Specialist
2/2007 Consulted with geneticist
1/2007 *GASP* I turned 30, just a couple of days after my 6th miscarriage. Mourned the loss of my 20s.
3/2006 Husband consulted with urologist: Result - ruled out sperm fragmentation
3/2006 Consulted with a high-risk pregnancy dr (who suggested I use Lovenox injections with next 2 pregnancies)
7/2005 4th miscarriage: 9 weeks (D&C)
1/2005 Laparoscopy/Hysteroscopy: Resection of uterine septum
12/2004 IVP test & MRI: Confirmed septum in uterus
11/2004 Hysteroscopy (exploratory): Possible septate uterus
10/2004 3rd miscarriage: 6 weeks
9/2003 Husband's labs turn out great; My labs don't pinpoint a direct problem but show MTHFR mutation; I begin taking daily aspirin and extra folic acid, and using progesterone supplements
8/2003 Began seeing first Fertility Specialist (Testing begins)
3/2003 2nd miscarriage: 11 weeks (D&C)
7/2002 1st miscarriage: 11 weeks
5/2001 We moved to TX. Soon after, started trying to have a baby
