God surely does work in mysterious ways doesnt he,just when you think he is not listening or caring he is. We lost a precious baby much wanted baby in October last year and i thought for sure our days were over or numbered except much to my amaze last week,we found out we are expecting#8 November 25th. I am so excited but yet gaurded as well b/c of the loss we experienced.

22wks and counting our blessings to be bringing #7 into the world August

Well, I thought I'd add a few pictures up on my blog of my belly as well as some cute u/s pics we have of Graci.

Gosh I have not been around in like ages

Well,first things first we expecting a little girl in August Gracilynn June will be her name,I'm super excited our 5th girl.

Next homeschooling is going great,learning alot of new things.

In a nut shell things are going according to God's plans and I could not be happier.

I'll update as soon as I can.

To my dear precious baby

Today I got to thinking maybe I should start to write to you,since by the time you'll be able to read this will be in quite a few years.
I remember the day your dad and I started to think our family was not yet completely done,but knew it would take a miracle from God to conceive you.
It took such a long road and many,many heartaches and dissappointments that sometimes mommy really did not believe God would grant us this one wish.I finally started to give in and say ok God maybe we are not to have anymore children,so I'll just keep trying to be closer to my children and trying to really grow within you.It was hard,I won't say it wasn't because mommy's faith really took a toll on her.
In July we had gotten the word we finally were pregnant only to find out your brother/sister was not going to make it,unfortunately mommy and daddy's heart was yet once again heart broken.
We got through it,with alot of prayer,great friends and each other.
In December,daddy and I decided we'd try one more time,just in case God had in his heart to bring you to us,well on December 15th,we got the news that yes indeed we got pregnant.In the beginning it was touch and go but you hung on,we saw your little heart beat when you were 7wk1day old and i'm so thankful to God he showed us his mercy and gave you to us.

Onto month 12 of trying to conceive our 9th baby

Well, God has good reason for trying us at this journey,but thought I'd let y'all know my cycle started today,so we onto month #12. We did conceive in June but miscarried,so hoping God will bless us again.

Psalm 16

Yesterday I heard this verse on K-love,my favorite radio station and just began to cry.We have really struggled to conceive after the Lord laid it upon my husbands heart that his vasectomy was wrong. I just want everyone out there who is struggling to read this,it really touched my heart.

Psalm 16
1Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

2O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;

3But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

4Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.

5The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

7I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

8I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

10For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

11Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

It's been along time.

Alot has happened since I last posted. I lost our precious baby that was so wanted.It has taken the breath out of me,sort of speak,but still pressing onward. I praise God for answering my prayers by opening my womb which was exactly what we had prayed for.I thought for along time God did not think I was a good enough mother to have more.Little did I know he did.

We have started infertiliy meds,actually we started them about July 6,and all is good.During the course of the injectable meds,we learned that my ovaries did a wonderful job,in fact I only have one right tube and the left is gone.My right side was the champ,making 3 follicles for us and my left nothing.Praise God is all I can see,I truly believe God had his hand in this. Monday I did a trigger shot to release the follicles and am now in the 2ww.

Wish us luck and pray for us.

I truly have felt everyones prayers,you have no idea how much they have been needed.
Thank you.

I'm preggo!!!!!

I can not believe this,we finally did it,we finally made it through a tough time of trying to conceive.

I'm due March 8th,I'm super excited and very nervous.

Here is my beautiful BFP.

Today was not very good

I had hope since TTC'ing it would have worked this month.It's been almost a yr August 29th since Chuck had a vasectomy reversal.
Today I started my cycle in which was supposed to be a happy ending but instead it was a very upsetting ending.
Our plan of action is to start infertility medication and in hopes produce more eggies. Then if our timed intercourse does not work then it's of to do a LAP to find out if anything else is wrong before we proceed to an IUI.
I had hoped we would not need to do this but it looks as if we are.
I have been doing really great up until today when I saw my cycles start.It hurt more because I had such high hopes that trying as hard as we did it would have worked,despite the antibodies my husband has.
This journey has been very difficult to walk,I gave up for awhile because it was overwhelming me and taking over my life.
I just hope one day God blesses us again.

Gosh it seems as forever when my hubby went under the knife for a vasectomy reversal

I can not believe here in about 3 months will be our 1yr anniversary of my hubby's vasectomy reversal.It seems as forever this happpened and here we still sit waiting for that miracle God will gives or not.
We have been so blessed already with such great kids. I can not believe how time flies when your kids are growing older.It seemed as if yesterday our Catey turned 2yrs old in March.
June 9th will mark the 2yrs since my hubby had his vasectomy,right after our Catey turned 3 months old.
I'll never forget the emptiness I felt as we left the clinic at the Army hospital.

3weeks and 4 days till Dr Wilson performs magic!!

Today is 3 weeks and 4 days till we have our vasectomy reversal. The Lord has really blessed us with such an awesome Dr in Oklahoma. I can not wait to meet the God fearing man.I have heard so many wonderful things about him.
I have already made the arrangements as far as the hotel,just waiting on a good friend of mine,who is going to give us flight tickets since they are not using them.What a God blessing she is.
I'm torn between Catey my beautiful baby girl or leaving her with a good family friend of mine.I know she'll miss mommy,but then I can concentrate on hubby.
