IVF #1 - The Wait Is Almost Over

Happy Mother's Day! Growing up, Mother's Day was always such a special day with family, but over the last few years it's been an incredibly hard time. While we love celebrating our mothers and all the wonderful women in our life, we are ready to share this day with children of our own. The Lord has planned this IVF cycle better than I could have ever imagined, as Robert and I are enjoying our first Mother's Day as embryo parents. We are so blessed to be spending this day together fully expecting the Lord to send us a baby soon!

Thank you all so much for all the love over the last few weeks. Your support and prayers have made this waiting period a truly joyful time. As we go into this last phase of IVF, we are nervous and excited to find out the results of our first cycle. A lot of you guys have asked us when we will find out if we are pregnant, and we are happy to share we are going in tomorrow for our first beta test! Our plan for results day/week is to spend some time processing our test results before we share with you all. Positive or negative tomorrow is going to be a overwhelming day for us. If our first beta test is positive, there will still be multiple blood tests to help determine initial viability. If the news is negative, we will need time to process our loss together before we lean on others. We know you are all excited to find out, and we promise to let you know as soon as we can. If you would, every time you think of us during this next few days, just say a little prayer for us.

Thank you all again for every prayer and word of encouragement! We are so lucky to have so many people in our lives that love and support us!

Love you all,

Ashton & Robert
