What are we thankful for this year?

We have been asked to give our testimony as to why we are thankful this year. So I thought I would also fill you in.

We will recap last year....

After years of trying to grow our family DH and I turned to Fertility Treatments and went through IVF in April. We carried twins until Aug 24/25, 2007. At just over 20 wks, they came into the world and were with us for such a very short time. Through many months of grieving, we tried again only to find out the week of Thanksgiving last year, that we were not expecting. We scheduled to try again in December, and after quite a bit of anxiety and overwhelming grief for the Christmas Holiday, we cancelled our frozen transfer and decided that we could try on our own with the fertility meds we still had. And on December 30th, when I had all but given up on the idea of being pregnant, I took a home pregnancy test and it was a very very very light positive. I went the next day to confirm with a blood test - we were indeed pregnant.
Our year started out great and in the middle of this great year, we lost 2 beautiful boys, only to end this year on the same great note we started on. Within weeks of the new year, we found out that not only did we have 2 angels, we were expecting 2 babies again. We were overwhelmed with joy and fear.
It was Ash Wednesday - what would I give up this lenten season? God made that choice for me, one of the twins heartbeat had stopped. We would wait and watch over this pregnancy for the next 27 weeks. This was a long journey, but this year we are so thankful for the prayers, the doctors, and the gift that God gave us with Aedyn and 3 Angels to watch over her.

The first week of November

Okay - So it has been a while since we blogged about our days! Sorry, we have been busy :)

Halloween was as fun as halloween can be when you are 10 wks old. Aedyn was a little chili pepper which everyone thought was a strawberry :( she was cute nonetheless! We went to the church and showed her off while she slept and then came home, not much really occured.

Saturday and Sunday went by so fast - it is all a blur....Although Aedyn is an early morning baby, she is up by at least 6 or 7am and having fun on her mat looking at the lights and listening to the music.

This week has been busy with here and there and everywhere.

Be sure to scroll down to the new pictures we posted!

We just love our doodlebug!!!
