Ultrasound Results Are In!
Hello Everyone! We are happy to say that we have TWINS!!!!! What an amazing day. Both heartbeats are very strong and where they should be for 6 weeks and 3 days old. Both embryos are the same size as well. The only concern the doctor has right now, is that one sac looks as it should and the other is much smaller. We have another ultrasound in 3 weeks (March 10th at 9 AM) which will tell us more about the little one. He said it could go either way, he's seen smaller sac babies survive and others that have not. We are calling the small one our "little peanut". We need those prayers to continue. We would love for our little peanut to survive this. Regardless, we feel SO very blessed today! The theme for the next few weeks is "Pray for Little Peanut" and "Keep the Other Baby Safe Too"!
I'm feeling good. VERY, VERY tired and a little sick, but all in all I'm doing great. I've been eating alot and now I know why! I've been eating for 3. Whoo! Hoo!
We also need to ask this group for some other prayers. Earlier, I posted that Josh's brother Jared and his wife Haley were expecting as well. I'm sad to say, they lost their baby. This prayer group is strong and along with all of their other support, we have faith that they will become successful soon! Please say a prayer for them. They just found out last week and it's been really hard on them.
Thank you everyone! We are SO excited and can't wait for our next ultrasound appt. The doc says we'll be able to see arms and legs and the babies heads. So amazing!!!!!
Love,
Josh and Ang

Number was HIGH today!
Good News! My HCG level skyrocketed since Friday. That's what we want! On Friday it was 78 and now it's 539.5. This means that the baby or babies are holding on tight and should be very safe and comfortable. My nurse said the number was excellent! I have my ultrasound on Monday, 2/18. We will get to hear the heartbeat(s) and know how many are in there. We are still so overwhelmed with joy. This is proof that miracles DO happen and we are so fortunate to get such an amazing gift from God. I might post a few more times while we wait for the exciting news on 2/18. Love, Ang and Josh

More Amazing News!
Jared and Haley (Josh's brother and sister-in-law) are pregnant too! They are a month ahead of us and wanted to wait and share their news until we found out our news. We are all SO excited to go through this together. Our kids will grow-up to be close cousins. Joe and Kim are just in awe about becoming grandparents all at once. We are a very blessed family. I think we prayed so much for our success that God blessed Jared and Haley at the same time. Josh and I can't wait to become Auntie and Uncle and parents! Love, Ang and Josh

Praise the Lord!
Good Morning Everyone -
WOW! I had to pinch myself this morning just to make sure yesterday wasn't a dream. We are just SO overwhelmed with joy right now. What an awesome God. We have truly experienced a miracle and it's so amazing! I go to the doc on Tues for another blood test. They might be able to tell us more when my #'s come back in the afternoon regarding the number of babies. If not, an ultrasound will be done in a few weeks. We are happy with whatever God has planned.
Yesterday we cried A LOT of tears of joy and had family over until we went to bed. I received many calls and emails and I promise you will get a response. I SO appreciate everyone's love, encouragement and support. I just want to say, if you are ever struggling with something, don't ever give up! It may take years to overcome, but if you have the strength and courage to do the footwork, God will control the outcome and He will make all your dreams come true.
We love you all so much. It's still very early in the process and we need your continued support. We've got this far together....let's make it to the end when we can really experience the joy of holding a newborn baby!
Love,
Josh and Angie

The NEWS!
We are SO sorry to keep everyone waiting so long. We got the call at 2:10 this afternoon and have been on the phone ever since. The test result is POSITIVE! We are freaking out right now! What an amazing ride. We are truly SO blessed. Thank you to all of you. We would not have made it through this without you. We are planning to keep our blog going. We don't know if we're pregnant with 1, 2 or 3. We will know more next week as I will have to continue to be monitored by the clinic. I will of course keep everyone updated! We love you! Josh and Angie
Blood Test Done....Now We Wait!
All went well with the blood draw this morning. They said they will call me between 1-3. Josh and I will be at home waiting for the news. I will post the news by 3:00, so check back today. I would LOVE to call everyone, but that would just be too exhausting. This is it! Wish us luck! Love, Josh and Angie
