Pregnancy - Not my own, but even better...

Its Kendall!!!

One of my best friends from college has been trying to get pregnant for over 2 years, and it has been a very long road... but she called me on Friday and told me some of the best news I have ever heard - they are going to have a baby!! After Invitro, IUI, all kinds of medicine, and lots of tears - its has finally happened. The best part is, her doctor gave her a 9% chance of getting pregnant with this past procedure, and God showed her!! If you want to hear an amazing story of God's faithfulness to a wonderful couple that loves their Lord - ask me more...

On that same note, for those of you that don't know - Ben and I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year now. I just went to the doctor several weeks ago, and am still having some test run and praying about what to do next. This has already been a tough road to travel, but we are clinging to His promise that He who loved us enough to give us His only son, will not withold any good thing... (Psalm 84) He knows what is "good" for me - I don't. And if you ask Kendall about her story, she will tell you that she is so much closer to her savior after these several years - and as much as I want another baby, I want that more...

I had a progesterone test done today to see if my hormone levels are normal, and now Ben and I are still just praying about where to go from here... would you pray for that too?

And PRAISE GOD, FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW for the sweet miracle growing inside Kendall - her positive pregnancy test made me happier than if it was my own! Please continue to pray for her, Will, and baby Ainsworth in the weeks and months ahead...

Its gone...for Now

As you know, I have been looking for a way to get rid of our beloved paci for a while now... and this weekend the opportunity presented itself, and I went for it - or should I say, Ben went for it...

We were in Auburn this weekend, and I left Campbells bear and duck (her sleeping buddies) and 1 or her 2 paci's in the crib at my parents house by accident. Then we "lost" the other paci in the car on the way home. I had a baby shower to go to right when we got back, so Ben put Campbell down for her nap, and couldn't find a paci... so being the great dad he is - he jumped at the chance to be done with it for good! He put her down without it, and she did great. Took a 2 hour nap. Then last night we had a little harder time getting her to sleep without it, but finally did and she slept until almost 8. Yea!

Now, however, it is 3:30 in the afternoon and I am still trying to get her to take a nap... but I am trying to be strong! Hopefully we have given it up for good... Now if I can just tackle potty training...
