Possibly a Valentine's Baby

Yes, I am expecting our second child. Its amazing. A miracle. After almost 6 years of infertility, we conceived the first month of active trying. Praise God!

But, I don't feel that I am Scott free yet. I am on progesterone injections and nightly prometrium. My first ultrasound was entirely convincing of no problems, there was a heartbeat but the dates weren't quite right. So, tomorrow I should be about 8 weeks. I have another ultrasound Monday morning to check things out again, so please say a little prayer.

That brings me to the possibly Valentine's Baby. By my calculations, I should be due around February 21st, but if I have another big baby, maybe I can go and just have another section a week early. Wishful thinking, huh? Well, it makes for a good title.

Valentines Day Significance

Exactly 10 years ago my husband and I went on our first date. It was actually a "anti-valentines day" date with a group of other friends. None of us were dating anyone but we all wanted to go out.

We went to one of our favorite hang outs and drowned our sorrows in a few beers. We all had a great time and even went back the the boys house after to watch some TV. My DH and I talked the entire night and realized that we had so much in common. At the time, I didn't want anything serious. He was going to graduate from pharmacy school in 3 months and I had no idea where my life was going.

I didn't hold out real long, we started dating in March of that same year and the rest is history. Looking back to that time in my life, everything was so uncertain. I was spending a year serving in Americorps and didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I had been kicked out of school to by a physician assistant the previous year and my life dreams had to be re-done. I did get a college degree but knew I needed additional training. I did end up getting a master's degree in health education, which I don't think I would have finished without the support of my DH.

What a gift he has been to me. Sitting at that bar that night, I had no idea what the Lord was giving me. My DH is so supportive and understanding. There is no one else in the world I would have chosen to ride the roller coaster of IF and now parenthood with. He is amazing and I thank the Lord everyday for my DH.

Here is a picture from a wedding we attended in 2002. I don't have any digital pictures before that!
