God is SO Good!

Wade and I are thrilled to share that we are expecting a child in September! We rejoice and thank God for this wonderful miracle. Praise the Lord, Halleluiah! We feel so blessed!

The pregnancy looks wonderful right now. A blood test Thursday will tell us how the baby is developing and may give insight about the possibility of twins. My HCG level was 67 this morning (anything over 25 signifies a healthy pregnancy). The level should double by Thursday morning. If the number quadruples, we will suspect a multiple pregnancy. Right now, we just thank the Lord for answering our prayers!

Please continue to pray for baby's healthy development. The next 8 weeks are critical. Hopefully the Folgard, Aspirin and Progesterone will help correct the problems that led to my previous miscarriages. And we all know that prayer is more powerful than medication!

Thank you so much for your support through the IVF process and your continued prayers for our unborn child!

May God bless you and yours,
Expectant mother, Ramona

P.S. Feel free to leave comments. Don't be shy! This is a time of celebration!

YEAH!!!!! I am so happy for you guys! I'll keep praying that things continue to go well. I know how you feel - my pregnancy with Elizabeth came after 3 miscarriages, so I know the "pins and needles" feeling, but progesterone and baby aspirin worked for me, so hopefully you'll have the same results! Congratulations, and I'm looking forward to welcoming your little one or two in August or September!

Oh Ramona and Wade -- This is wonderful news!! We are so excited for you guys! What a wonderful way to begin 2007. We'll be praying for you and the little "peanut(s)" - (that's what Chris' dad called Natalie when she was in the womb).

Love you both,

Dearest Ramona, Wade and Liliana,

Congratulations and GOD Bless you all! What wonderful news! I have been thinking of you and didn't want to call to bother you.
We will continue to pray for you daily. I will check the news again tomorrow for the increase in HCG. I know how rough it is, I had a miscarriage before each of my boys and the stress and anxiety are there. But I know you will do well and God has and will continue to Bless you and your family.
I am glad you were able to come over New Years Eve. It was fun.
Call me if you need anything!
Love to you all,
Cathy, Mark, Blaine and Clayton
