Birthday Week Photo


Well, maybe I should call it conception week photo. This week a year ago Matthew and I were in Oklahoma City for the embryo transfer which was on February 12, the day before Matt's birthday. Today we were reminiscing about the past year, all the IVF protocols we went through, and feeling grateful for having these two beautiful boys at the end of it all.


This has been a pretty stressful week. I picked up a cold and have been really under the weather. The boys also have runny noses. Although we haven't been getting them out for anything other than required doctors visits, last week we had one at the hospital and I think we all got exposed. So Grandma has been staying over to help ease the burden. TGFG. Thank God for Grandmas!


Joseph is approaching 8 pounds and Benjamin is not quite 12 pounds yet, but both are growing every day and we are falling more in love with them every minute. Thanks for checking in on our blog! We appreciate your interest.

Hi Matt and Renee,

Its so good to see how well your family is doing! God is so good! To borrow Ron Saladin's favorite expression!

My husband and I are from the group here in the St. Louis area. We have kept you in our prayers are so excited to see how God has moved in your life and consequently in ours as well

Just wanted to tell you thank you for your continuous faith, as it helps all of us (your spiritual family) to continue stronger as well. Ah, yes and thank you most sincerely for the update photos of your dear little boys.
