3 + 1 = 4


It has been almost two years since I last updated this blog.  Lately I have found myself being drawn back to it and wanting to add to it once again.  Obviously so much has happened in the last couple of years that it is hard to know where to begin and how to catch up.  So I am going to just skip past all the small details and start things back up with the biggest thing that's happened to us in the last two years....

We had a baby!

But let's back up 9 months.

First things first...
We FINALLY got pregnant.
And my due date was July 11, 2012. Or as we referred to it as 7-11
And we were just THRILLED!!!



We had been trying to get pregnant for over two years with no luck.  My doctor told me there was nothing else she could do to help me and referred me to a fertility clinic.  But with the cost associated with fertility treatments we knew it wasn't an option at that time.  Plus, I just felt like it wasn't the right thing for us.  But the fact was that we had been trying for 26 months and still nothing.  Gavin was about to turn five that October and my heart just yearned for him to have a sibling.  

So it felt like nothing short of a miracle when we finally learned we were pregnant.  That Halloween a pregnancy test finally, finally, finally showed two pink lines...positive!  Our little family was finally about to get bigger, right along with my belly.

And before we knew it July of 2012 was upon us and my due date was quickly approaching.

And as I was crossing off the final day on my calendar in my 9 month count down I found myself writing this:

 3+1=4

Our family of three was about to become a family of four!
(which also happens to be my favorite number!)
