Our Story

After a year and a half of trying to get pregnant and many doctor appointments, we still had no definite answer of what was wrong with Lauren.  The suspicion is that the excessive running caused her to stop having a cycle.  So, we decided to do ovulation induction with IUI (intrauterine insemination).  That involved 2 weeks of shots and a couple turkey bastings.  There was a 25% chance the procedure would work at all, and if it worked, a 25% chance of twins.  The odds went down from there on multiples, with a 1% chance of sextuplets.  After "the 2 week wait" we found out Lauren was indeed pregnant, but with really high hormone levels, so an ultrasound was recommended to see what was going on.  We knew something was up when we saw the doctor's jaw drop... he had seen 6 babies!  Since we found out, Lauren has been going for ultrasounds at least every 2 weeks and so far all the babies are developing at a normal rate.  Our feelings range from excited, overwhelmed, and scared- all at the same time.  We are completely trusting God throughout this adventure and we appreciate all the prayers and support from our family and friends!!
