Infertility and the toll it takes

[Bootylicious!! 2]

As many of you know we have struggled with infertility for 4.5 years. It's been a long and hard struggle. We had one miscarriage that was really hard to deal with. After getting pregnant that first time on our own we struggled to get pregnant again. We did fertility treatments for about 8 months two years ago. After no luck my emotional well being just couldn't handle anymore so we took time off. When I say we took time off I mean we didn't do treatments but still continued to try for 2 more years on our own. After trying for 2 more years with no luck we just recently started fertility treatments again.

After just 2 months of trying, we are finally expecting twins! It has been a long, hard, trying journey but we are so happy to finally be having babies. I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant with a due date of July 17th. So far everything looks good. We have had 3 ultrasounds to date and have two very healthy looking babies with two strong heartbeats. Yesterday when I asked the doctor if everything looked good his reply was, "no, everything looks perfect." We just hope after all these years of trying God is finally giving us what we've wanted for so long.

I want to thank all of the people on here who have shown us support during this process. When dealing with something like this it really does help to have those encouraging words. Now I'll need those encouraging words as I deal with morning sickness and just generally being so tired. Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone! We are so excited and a little shocked at the same time. I always wanted twins but never thought I'd get them. Now I'm wondering how I'm going to handle to babies at the same time. I know everything will work out just fine though.
