New Pictures of Savannah

I was going through some recent pictures of Savannah, my 11-month old, tonight and found some gems. Here are a few. You can see the rest here.

Yeah. She's amazing!

And now she's playing with my mouth

  • Miracles do happen

    If you’ve read this blog over the years, no doubt that you’ve shared the highs and low of the process that Kristy and I have gone through to start our family. After six infertility treatments (five artificial insemination and one round of IVF), two miscarriages and a whirlwind of emotions, last year on July 17, Savannah Grace was celebrated in ridiculous fashion as she made her way into the world. Needless to say, we were one of the lucky ones to have had our girl after going through so much.

    You might be wondering why we had to go through all of those procedures? We were too. I’m not talking about why God made us go through all of that, rather what was going on with either of our bodies to purpose us with this process. While we never figured it out, we had always concluded that our future attempts would take the same road.

    We were wrong.

    March 2008, we found out that we were pregnant. Much to our surprise, we headed to the doctor to confirm what five, yes 1-2-3-4-5 pregnancy sticks had already told us. It was true, but so were the signs of miscarriage. Days later we lost our third baby.

    Normally, this would have devastated us but something remarkable had happened; we got pregnant on our own. That’s never, repeat NEVER, happened before. We hesitated to claim our healing, our miracle, but we did. Remarkably, the joy of the miracle cast a shadow on our grief.

    The very next month, it happened. Pregnant again!

    As of today, we’re rounding the bend towards 11 weeks. The baby is healthy and growing.

    Over the past five years, we celebrated, laughed, cried, been angry, demanded answers, agreed to disagree with God, and wondered if we’d ever be a family. Today, we’re a family of three with another on the way.

    Miracles do happen.

  • Savannah is 5 months old

    It’s hard to believe, but today at 12:20p, Savannah will be 5 months old. My how the time has gone by quickly. Here’s a recent picture of her. We think that she’s forgotten that she was a premie.

  • Savannah is coming home!

    We just got official word from the Doctor that Savannah gets to come home TOMORROW! Kristy and I will be staying the night at the hospital tonight and by this time tomorrow, we’ll have Savannah all to ourselves. She’ll be two weeks old tomorrow as well.

    Wow…I’m so ready for her to be home!
