How it All Happened

Well...with the months of trying and the grieving that followed month after month, we decided that it didn't make any sense to keep trying. My husbands philosophy about everything is if "Something is meant to happen it will happen and if not it was never meant. After meeting with my GYN for my yearly in Jan. 09 I decided that my husband was right. :)
Before I left my GYN she shared some helpful tips to help get me pregnant...real simple
1. Stop Trying 2. Get Drunk 3. Stop Worrying 4. Remember to get waisted and then have tons of you know.....No lie words of wisdoms quoted from my Dr.
With that being said I started to relax and Rob and I had so much fun. ;)

We had company in town almost every weekend from January to April. We were enjoying all of the company and life couldn't have been better. Easter weekend was alort different because we had close friends come into town. The miracle happened on April 11th after spending a nice, hilarious, night on the town with close friends and DRINKS we came back to the house to relax. We spent time with the other couple until the four of us were sleepy...or in other terminology until we were ready to have special moments with our hubbies. It was so perfect....we had been so happy and at peace with our situation. That was not our focal point any more and that put the fun back in our marriage.

Days later I realized the monthly visitor had not arrived yet. Didn't really think about it...then weeks went by. Well one morning I had to get up at like 5 in the morning to use the restroom. I was like hmmmmm should I take it or not. The whole time I am thinking to myself, " What the heck it is going to say Not Pregnant anyway." Most of the time when I used a pregnancy test it seemed like it took 2 minutes just to say "Not Pregnant"...well like I said it was 5 in the morning and I was just sitting there, I swear 20 seconds went by it said "Pregnant". I rubbed my eyes to make sure they were clean to make sure I wasn't dreaming...and those words remained there. Now I am sitting there smiling from ear to ear...peeing again and screaming on the inside. I had this big vision of how I was going to tell Rob if we ever concieved....well that plan flew right out of the window. I mean we had been trying for almost 2 years and that was a lot of anticipation built up. So I ran in the room literally screaming. He jumped up and thought there was an emergency... I can still see his face clearly. He woke up making his faces as usual and then I was like look. He initially thought I was loosing my mind...he looked at the stick and was like..."Kita it is too early in the morning for jokes. I was cheesing at this point, and I was like no Baby this is real. He thought it was a sample stick or something. He then rubbed his eyes...I guess by this time he was finally waking up, looked at the stick, and was like WE ARE PREGNANT...grabbed me and started holding me....pushed me back to look at me and then the test...and grabbed me and just teared up and held me so tight. We immediately dropped to our knees and prayed to let him know how thankful and blessed we were at that moment. That day was the best feeling in the world. We couldn't sleep I was so excited that I couldn't go back to sleep and everyone knows I love my ReSt. :) We just savored the moment and thanked GOD over and over.
By 7 in the morning I was calling the Dr. office to get them to order blood work so we could officially know if it was TRUE...and it is AMAZINGLY TRUE!!!

Our Journey

Welcome to our Little Miracle's page. As many of you know this has been a huge Journey for us. God tested us in many ways and through it all we remained close and as a reward he Blessed us with a Baby in his timing.
In 2007 we went in for testing and to make sure everything was in place for the process of making a baby. Surprisingly, we discovered that we were faced with a fertility battle. At this point walls went up and we hit a bumpy road in our marriage. We really had to find ourselves and then get a grip on life and just face it. We were carefully advised to seek help/information from Specialst. After some research and discussing our options with family members and close friends we decided to pursue our options. We went through 2 IUI's and were unsuccessful both times. This was devasting because we didn't know why and we still didn't have answers. This is when it really became tough. Just not knowing and not being able to find out answers. The fertility specialist that we were seeing here...told us he was going to send us the best specialist that he knew of.
Dr. Larry Lipschultz in Houston Texas is definately a Heaven sent angel. We went into his office, at first we felt uncomfortable, in our eyes we were faced with two negatives. We felt like they were going to take us for a joke...we were the only young, black couple in there. Everyone that was coming in was much older and appeared to be very established. After the three hour wait, Dr.L., introduced himself and had my hubby cough one time and then again. It took 5 seconds for him to diagnose my husband. He diagnosed him with Varicole it is very common in most athletes. WOW...who what have ever thought that something like this could happen to us. We didn't...after driving to his office a couple of times we establised a plan to help us achieve our dream of having our family one day. Robert is a strong man and he is very family oriented...with that being said he was determined to do whatever necessary to be able to start our family. He had his corrective surgery in July 08. Dr. L told us it would be several months until we would know if we would be able to have children on our own. Well 8 months later our dreams came true. I can't describe the feeling that ran through the both of us. Completely Shocked...we hadn't been trying at all we were just focusing on the two of us and falling back in love all over again. It was amazing. On that early morning in March...God proved to us that if we believe in him and give all of our worries and concerns to him....that he will work it out in HIS timing.

With the blessing that GOD has given us we are able to share our story with you.
Keep coming back and you'll find updated pictures and news about our baby. Come back regularly and watch our little miracle*Blessing from GOD*grow with us.

We love each and every one of you!!!!
