Whoo Hoo!

We are pregnant! We did in-vitro again in September and this time it worked! We are pregnant with twins!
I think it helped to know that we were on the waiting list for adoption so if in-vitro didn't work we could still be parents by way of adoption. We could still have hope.
But it did work and I am so happy! I am so grateful and feel so blessed that I am going to be a mother of twins! Being a mother is something that I have always dreamed of being and now it is going to happen!
So we are going to have A Baby for Us...in fact we are going to have 2 Babies for Us! We are so excited!

I think I might stop posting on this blog, since it was mainly our adoption journey blog. Thanks for reading it!

Just Checking In

No news yet!
We have had a fun summer just being together. Joel works from home two days a week now, so it's been nice to have him around earlier than the other 3 days of the week.
We have enjoyed this summer going on dates, seeing movies, going to baseball games, working on our house and yard, and hanging out with family and friends.
We don't know when the day will come when we will be blessed with having a baby come into our lives, but we are loving the time we are able to spend together as a family of two!

Facebook Group

(Ok I decided to put it here too!)
We have set up a Facebook group called: Katie and Joel are Adopting! I know that some of you are friends with me already on Facebook so you probably already know about it
For those who don't, or those who joined who don't know the reason behind starting the group, I will tell you about it. It is basically a networking group. You may have a friend, or your friend may know someone, who is pregnant that is thinking about placing their child for adoption. By starting this group you can show the birth mother(s) out there that we could potentially be the parents for their child. So by joining and having your other friends on Facebook join we could potentially find the little one that is supposed to come to our family faster! :-)
I love the response that we have gotten from this group so far. Hopefully it will lead to us becoming parents!

Waiting...It's Not So Bad

I am actually excited about this waiting that we are doing. I love that we could get a call anytime. But I also know that since we could get a call anytime, we should try to do things that we might not be able to do once a baby comes into our lives. So we are trying to do just that. We are planning trips and vacations, also we are trying to do more activities that we really haven't done before. We aren't just sitting around waiting for the phone to ring. I will be excited when the call comes (obviously!) but right now I am just enjoying being married to my wonderful husband!
