We're Having a BABY!!!

On Decemeber 18, 2008, we found out we were pregnant. It was almost unbelieveable...we took one test on the 17th (which I saw a faint line but somehow told myself I was not pregnant.) Took another test the next day and saw "the line" again, more distinctly this time. I got an apt. for that day, where it was confirmed! I WAS PREGNANT!!!! We were SO excited, yet scared, nervous, and anxious at the same time. After all that we had been through in the past few years of trying to have a baby; losing 2 babies, all the testing, the waiting, the endless bloodwork, countless prayers, etc. we didn't want to get our hopes up....At 9 weeks pregnant, I was released from my fertility specialist as being "normal!" How good that sounded! At 13 weeks I could finally start relaxing (at least a little bit) - things were looking good. Now here it is mid July, and I am going on 34 weeks pregnant. Patrick and I are so excited and feel so blessed that things are finally working out for us and that we are finally getting to start the family we have longed for. Little Jackson Patrick Carrejo will be here very soon...his due date is Aug. 23rd, and I have never wanted anything so bad in my life as I do this precious baby boy we will soon meet. God has blessed us immensely, and we are truly thankful!!!
