First and foremost, more good news today. Keli's levels went from 163 to 391. We needed them to double, so this is great news. Believe it or not, we do not have to go back now until July 22nd!!! This seems so strange as we have been going 3-4 times a week for the last month.
I have been holding back on writing waiting for this day. I told Sharis while she was here that the fear of something going wrong was still greater than the excitement at that point. That pendulum has finally shifted just like I expected. I had not been able to focus on the excitement for fear that I was going to need to be consoling Keli at any step along the way. In a way I do not think I will every truly understand, Keli needs to be a mom. During the process so far I have felt my role was to support her and be the best husband possible! I am so thankful that phase has finally ended. We have reached the point where I feel the risk we have left are the ones every couple faces when pregnant. Though I always will support her and be the best husband possible, I feel like I can focus the majority of my engery on being excited!!
I want to thank everyone who has been so supportive along the way. I know the journey has only begun and I also know how far we have come.

Yeehaw! I've been away for a week at church camp with the boys and, I must say, took a deep breath before checking your blog to catch up on what you all have been through these last seven days. I'm so grateful you've been experiencing some highs to offset all those low moments along the way. Think happy mommy thoughts, Keli, as we continue to pray for you.
MUCH LOVE,
Aunt Beth:)
We are also so elated for the both of you to join the "parent club". I do also enjoy reading the blog every chance I get. Do we know how many are developing yet? I know it is really early for a lot of things. Keep in touch!
Love ya, Becky, Jason, and Abby
Just got back from West Frankfort and my first priority was to check the "numbers", hoping it would be posted! Thanks for posting and YOO HOO! I continue to hold you ALL up in prayer. Keli is blessed to have a supportive husband. Keep up the good work and keep us posted even though you aren't going as often to the doctors, we still need frequent updates. Love to you both, djm
I wish I could hug you both!! I'm so happy for you, enjoy this time as much as possible! My things haven't arrived yet in Aus so I don't have a computer at home & since I'm a day ahead of you, I had to wait until Monday morning (Sun night your time) to read your blog & learn the news! It was WELL worth the wait! Best wishes you too, xoxo....Mindy
Although I got the info thru texting while we were camping, I couldn't wait to get back and read the blog entries for Wednesday and Friday! Of course I am so happy for the both of you and hope you will continue to blog as a way to keep us posted. I have so enjoyed your words and the comments. Though there have been scary moments it's been so encouraging, these babies are already so loved and we will continue to pray for them! KW
