We are so excited to share this announcement with you…

For those that don’t know, when we adopted our embryos, we adopted 3 embryos from the same family. So Nelly was the first embryo from that sibling group.

Now that you’ve heard the news, I figured I’d share a little bit about WHY we share this with you now. There are a lot of families that choose not to share this kind of news, this early on, but we have a few reasons why we choose to…

  1. If we believe that life begins at conception (which we do), then that means we believe that our embryos are lives to be celebrated (which we do).
  2. Being able to celebrate this little life early on, allows us to stay in a positive attitude (especially me), despite the uncertainties and unknowns.
  3. No matter what, there are no guarantees…whether it be naturally conceiving, adoption, pregnancy or even parenthood. We are not promised tomorrow, so we will celebrate and embrace TODAY!
  4. And most importantly, sharing this news with everyone NOW means we have more people to pray for us along this journey!

So now that you know why we share this early on, we hope you’ll be praying for us, and with us, and you’ll celebrate this little snowflake too!
