Life's Little Surprises

Pregnancy has not been kind to my family. Three miscarriages had caused us to lose hope that we would ever be able to have children of our own. The problem didn't seem to be getting pregnant but having our children survive and make it to term. While we never had any doctor really say anything to confirm our worst fear we nevertheless planned for the worst. We began to investigate other options. Then life told us to hold on not give up yet.
Tracy hadn't really been experiencing any symptoms but felt a strange lump in her lower abdomen. (Not wanting to get into any details but it didn't seem likely that she would be pregnant). She was afraid that she had a tumor or something. Before heading to the Temple last month she decided to go ahead and take a pregnancy test just to dispel any hope. Well the test came back positive. We were shocked and joyed but we didn't succumb to too much jubilation. We wanted to go to the doctor first and get everything confirmed and checked out first.
Earlier this week we were finally able to go the doctor and Tracy is in fact pregnant. The baby is alive and doesn't appear to have any problems. She's 19-20 weeks along and due currently April 7th. So if everything goes right from here on night a baby will finally enter our lives (it looks like a girl but still has a slight chance of being a boy).
To that I only have one thing to say........YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!

I know it has been such a trial for you. I totally know the pain and suffering that comes with infertility issues. I hope that this little baby enters the world healthy and happy.
