Awaiting Ian or Alyssa Taylor!

Who is Ian and Alyssa? Well when my husband (John) and I are blessed with a baby girl, she will be Alyssa Mackenzie Taylor. If we have a Son, he will be Ian Alexander Taylor. I started with the Fertility Specialist last year. I try to share via phone with my loved ones, but the sad, mundane times when I don't feel optimistic about this journey...I usually keep to myself, so this is my way to share with everyone. Feel free to comment, add photos, or just say a prayer for us!

UPDATE

Well, it has been a while since I updated this blog. In late May 2006, I lost the baby at 6 weeks. I was too depressed to even think about udating the blog. We have had six miscarriages since the beginning of our journey. Let me try to catch everybody up.... In August 2006, I happened to be in the right place at the right time....I was doing the custody paperwork for a client who was obtaining custody of her latest grandchild (three months old). This client has a daughter who gets pregnant just to get pregnant and then gives her children to her Mother (the client). At the time of doing the custody paperwork in August, the client found out that her daughter was AGAIN pregnant with another child!! She (client) said she could not possibly take another child, as she already has custody of three children (born to the daughter). I, of course told her John and I would be HAPPY to adopt the child that she is 6 weeks pregnant with! I told her of our unsuccessful journey to have children. Well, in late October 2006, we were advised that she is pregannt with twins. The grandmother, client, Cynthia, whatever you want to call her, then asked if we would still be interested in adopting them and not separating them.... WELL DUH....Of course we would!! What a Blessing!! On December 4, 2006, she had an ultrasound showing that she was pregnant with two baby girls, identical twins!! John and I have already named them. Alyssa Mackenzie Taylor and Alexis Mackenna (or Nicole) Taylor !! On December 24, 2006, Courtney (the Biological Mother)fell down the steps and went to the emergency room, where they did an ultrasound to make sure the twins were okay...They found TRIPLETS. We will name the third one Addison Mckayla. They are due May 19, 2007. What a Blessing that Cynthia (client, bilogical grandmother) came into our life!! We are so cautiously excited right now. We have already went through the disappointment of a Biological Mother changing her mind at the very last minute not to give her baby up for adoption!! I guess everything happens for a reason though. If we had gotten that child in July 2006, we would not have had room for the Alyssa, Addison, and Alexis. We are going to call them Ally, Addi, and Lexi. I just pray that all goes well as planned. John and I have planned on being in the delivery room when she delivers, so we can be the first to hold the girls!! I will update periodically as I receive updates from Cynthia regarding her daughter and the pregnancy. For right now, the daughter has agreed to let John and me adopt the girls directly from her and not have to go through Cynthia and adopt from her. That would be a long process!! Anyway, I have a picture of the latest child that I did custody paperwork for, she has the same biological Father as the triplets. So this picture is a great indication of what the triplets will look like. I will post it later. So the triplets have three bilogical sisters. Ashnia, Shabbia, and Zezzia (the latest). I will post pictures of all of the siblings as well. I want the twins to have pictures of their siblings as John and I will tell them about the blessing that led to their being in our lives. I am keeping a journal to one day give to them. Anyway, I will try to post more often now. For now, please keep us in your prayers !!!
