This is not how I imagined I would make this announcement, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Monday I received the best news we had hoped for from our IUI procedure- I am pregnant! I was not expecting these results, so to say I was shocked and surprised is an understatement. In typical Lori fashion, I asked the nurse several times if she was sure these results were correct. Mike and I spent the evening praising and thanking God for the wonderful little miracle that He has blessed us with after all these months. We shared the news with our families, but I wanted to wait until I went back to the doctor today to confirm the results to share with everyone else.
The news from my appointment today was not as good. My hormone levels should have doubled by today, but they have not. While they have risen some, the doctor is still concerned that the levels are not as high as he would like them to be. I will go back in on Friday for another test. While I am doing my best to put my trust in God, I am still very anxious.
Will you please lift Mike, me, and our baby up to the Lord. Please pray for another miracle. That my hormone levels will double by Friday and that God will sustain this precious life that He has given us. That He will bless us with a healthy, full term baby. That He will give us supernatural peace, comfort and hope as we make it to Friday, then beyond. That we will trust in the Lord will all our hearts during this uncertain time.
Once again, I am so thankful for all your prayers, love and support. It means more to me than you will ever know.

Lori, I just found your blog off of Sarah's! I have been thinking about you guys for the longest time, and am so glad to find this blog where I can know how to specifically pray for you. One of my friends had this same thing happen (where after a successful IUI, she became pregnant, and then her hormone levels did not double, and so she was worried she would lose the baby), BUT, she just gave birth to a healthy baby boy in March! Apparently, after a few weeks where her levels did not double, they then came up to where they should be and things were fine from that point on. So I am praying so hard for the same thing for you! Thank you for sharing your journey--your faith is so inspiring. Much love, Maggie
yea! I started praying as soon as i read the news. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
