5 years ago in a hospital room in Chattanooga, TN Martin and I sat with our new baby girl! Today we sit in our home in SC watching her play, write, spell, and draw. She is on her way to becoming an independent young lady. I still have moments that I stop and think how hard it is to believe that I am a mother and a mother of two at that! Red is our first miracle baby. For those of you who don't know the story, in March 2003 we visited a fertility specialist who told us that due to my medical history she would advise skipping fertility injections and going straight to invitro. She then told us we would be extremely lucky if we had even a 50% chance of getting pregnant with the procedure. I have to say I was devastated. That night on the way to dinner, I broke down and lost it emotionally! I cried because I couldn't understand why God was allowing this to happen to us. I cried because I wasn't sure if I wanted to chance going through the stress and emotion that usually came with the process of invitro. I cried because there was the possibility we would go through all this stress and emotions and still not be pregnant. Fast forward to 2 weeks later - I was at work and talking with a friend about the whole fertility thing and she advised she thought I should take a pregnancy test. So I went home that night and took a test - it didn't take 30 seconds before the test confirmed I was pregnant. I was in such disbelief I took the second test included in the box and sure enough it was positive too! And as they say the rest is history! Red is my first miracle child and I thank God every day for this angel from above and for the daily reminder she is to me of what God can do! Red we love you and thank God for you each and every day! We pray God will bless you one day with a family of your own so you can experience the joy that we have through you and your sister! LOVE YOU!
