Drum roll please..... Trevor and I are going to have a baby!!!!!
I have been going back and forth on how long I should wait to tell everyone but with each phone call or get together my news slips out. After two years, one miscarriage, fertility pills that have made me crazy, many many tears and prayers we have finally been blessed again. I am so Grateful for this gift that has been offered to me again and hope and pray that when July comes we will be holding our tiny baby. In this struggle to get pregnant I have had so many amazing talks with women who have tried for years and years and have held their head above water despite their deepest desires not being met.Thanks to all of you women who have helped me keep my head above water during my trying times. I finally get another chance and am so so happy and humbled for this opportunity. Being a mom has been a goal that I have worked so hard to reach, what amazing blessing it will be to hold my baby in my arms for the first time. Words can't describe our excitement for this opportunity. My heart goes out to all of you still trying and will always remember the tears I cried when I heard of a new friend or family member being pregnant and wondering why it couldn't be me. I will still be posting on my infertility blog until each of you reach your goal of motherhood. July 19th couldn't come any sooner. Despite the terrible morning sickness I am going to cherish every day and count my blessings.I'm going to be a mom.... What an incredible feeling.

YEA FOR YOU!!!! When Trevor told us the good news at the Christmas party, no one else wanted to share anything because we were all so excited for you! This has been a long time coming and as soon as it gets here, time will go faster than you can even imagine. I am absolutly thrilled for you and know that the Lord in his mercy has a plan for all of us and if we are patient, we can eventually see his wisdom. You will be a great mother and I hope that the pregnancy is normal and easy for you. Wishing you the very best, easiest 9 months possible, and then after that, a quick easy delivery! Love, Talya

Oh YAY!!! Your post brought tears to my eyes. I remember feeling the same way when I was pregnant with Mason. One of the positive things that comes out of going through fertility struggles is that when it finally happens for you you don't take anything for granted and appreciate every little thing so much. I really think it has made me a better mother. I truly am so happy for you and Trevor - you will be awesome parents, and I can't wait to meet your little angel when he/she arrives!
Everything I want to say has already been said, so DITTO TO WHAT TALYA SAYS!

Abbs, I am so thrilled for you and Trevor! I literally have chills right now after reading your blog. You are such a sweet person, and this is the luckiest baby to be so blessed to come to you! We may never understand Heavenly Father's reasoning in this life, but I'm sure that you will cherish this baby (and even this pregnancy!) more than a lot of women because of everything you have gone through. Congratulations, and I hope and pray that you will have a WONDERFUL seven more months!!! I sure love you!!!
Abbie, congratulations!!! This is so weird. I had this feeling that I needed to check your blog because you were going to be pregnant, and I almost died when I read your post. Something about our childhood best-friendship has made me in tune to you!! :) Having a baby is the best thing that has every happened in my life. You are going to be a lot like me, and love every single moment of it. We should go to lunch soon so that you can meet my little guy and get even more excited!!! I am so happy for you.
Abbie.. I am so happy for you! That is awesome it is just a reminder that miracles do happen and Heavenly Father does watch out for us. You are going to be a great mom and from what I know of Trevor he will be an awesome dad. Congratulations!
Abbie, I have been reading your fertility blog and I just happened to check your blog today and I am glad I did. I am so happy for you!!

We are only 6 weeks away and are having a blast preparing for our first as will you! Merry Christmas, what a wonderful gift!!!

I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU! YAY YAY YAY! I hadn't checked out your blog for quite sometime. I'm so glad that you left a post on mine!!!!! As for us no news yet. We have been taking some time off from trying (by birth control) since the last misscarriage in August. I have been enjoying the break and have felt peaceful about it. I am so thankful for my two miracle kids. We will start trying again in about March or so. I still want another baby or two but I just needed a break for awhile. As you know miscarriages are hard on mommy. You'll be in my prayers during your pregnancy. Again I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!!! I can't wait until your little one arrives!
