19th Week / Wheel chair ride

I have made it another week. I am now 19 weeks and holding strong. I'm excited and relieved to have made it this far. I will be celebrating each week I get past.

I was so happy tonight to get out of my hospital room for a wheel chair ride around the hospital. My doctor allowed me to take a ride in the wheel chair after I told him I really needed some time out of my room. It was so nice to get a change of scenery and really see what the hosptial is like. We rode up to the newborn nursery and saw some brand new babies. They were so cute. I look forward to seeing our 6 babies when we hopefully reach 30 weeks. I look forward to another outing outside of my room later this week.

I'm so glad you were able to get out of that room for a while! Congratulations on making it this far. I applaud you for having such a great attitude, even when it's probably uncomfortable and difficult to be stuck in the hospital. Your family is in our daily prayers. Hang in there!

About Us

Thomas and I were married in January 2007 in Houston, Texas. About 8 months later, we were excited to start a family. After a diagnosis of infertility due to PCOS and endometriosis, we were devastated. With the help of infertility treatments we were blessed with twin boys (Brian and Brendan), but unfortunately lost them at 18 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. Unwilling to give up on our dream to have a family, we tried again, but our second try resulted in an ectopic pregnancy. On our third try we were surprisingly expecting sextuplets. On August 4, 2009 at 22 weeks 6 days, we welcomed 4 girls and 2 boys - Haley, Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn, Rachel and Kaitlyn. Our sweet angels Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn and Kaitlyn passed away and returned to our loving Heavenly Father. We have been so blessed to have Haley and Rachel at home with us. They have been home from the NICU since February 2010. They are doing well and growing. They are miracles! We love them and have been so blessed!

We have been so blessed to have added another miracle baby to our family. Kayla was born December 9, 2011. She was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. She is a precious miracle and we are so glad she joined our family.

Our last little miracle, Brandon Thomas joined our family on December 14, 2015. He was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. He was 9 pounds, 7 oz (big boy)! He has spina bifida, but he is doing well. He is such a happy boy!! We love our little boy and are so blessed to have him in our family.
