Officially Official

We officially announced! Goodness, I can't believe how fast the weeks are going by. In case you missed it on IG or FB our official announcement:

"Benjamin and I are thrilled to announce that we're expecting baby DeFoor later this year!
After a 7+ year battle with infertility, thousands of prayers, millions of tears, months of heartaches, countless doctor visits, medical procedures, pills, shots, and failed treatments...God surprised us with a miracle the week before I was going to start medicines for IVF!
I think we're still a little shocked but are completely overjoyed to finally be getting the desire and longing of our hearts! ❤️
To our families and friends who have supported us, cried with us , and prayed for us through this journey, thank you, thank you, thank you!! Your love has seen us through the worst of days...and the best!
To the thousands of ladies in my infertility groups, I would not have been able to walk this road without you. Literally you have walked this journey with me every SINGLE step of the way and I would have been lonely and lost without your encouragement, understanding, and support. I pray each of you get to experience the happiness of knowing your dreams of a baby are finally coming true! You are the strongest, bravest, women I know"

Heartbeat

We went for my 7wk appointment today. Yes, it's earlier than most people get to go but we go earlier to check placement of baby and for a heartbeat. Going in I was so nervous, I don't think the fear and the "what ifs" will ever go away after struggling with infertility and knowing all that can go wrong. I hope it does. I want to just be able to enjoy being pregnant but there is a lot of fear and anxiety mixed in with the joy.

I'm thrilled to say baby is looking good with a good spot picked out in my uterus and with a nice strong heartbeat! Seeing that little flutter and hearing the fast little beats...there is no joy that can compare! This is for real...I'm still struggling to believe it. I have a baby growing in my belly!And over 15 tests to prove it. 😏

 Gotta make sure!

Little baby bean.

Heartbeat!
