Our story starts a little different than most....... Charles and I new that we wanted children soon after we were married in May of 2004, but after a checkup we found that this could be a difficult task. I began to take fertility drugs in October of 2005 and continued until January 2006 before going to visit a fertility specialist in February. After our visit we felt as though our chances would increase after undergoing exploratory surgery at the end of the month. The surgery revealed stage 3 endometriosis and I felt helpless. Our best option was In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), so we began the process. We found out that in May 2006 that we were expecting twins and we were so excited. Life continued as normal and we began to prepare for the arrival of our twins. In September 2006 the twins were born at 22 weeks and 1 day and our lives were forever changed. After this devastating tragedy in our lives we decided to start fertility treatments again. In July we went back to the doctor and he decided that IUI would be the best option for us. We started the process and found out on September 4th that it was successful and we have been so happy ever since that day. Not only did we find out we were expecting, but that the Lord had blessed us with triplets. We were overwhelmed and filled with so much emotion. Initially baby c was smaller and the doctor felt as though it would not fully develop and when we returned 2 weeks later for another ultrasound baby C was not growing and we were officially having twins. We are just so thankful for these two wonderful blessings and we thank God everyday for what He has done for us.
