Thanksgiving of 2016, Amanda told me she was expecting a baby boy! Amanda had told me that she and Ryan had decided to check just one more time to see if they had any options to have a baby. The news wasn't very optimistic until she was lucky enough to be a part of an invitro study and even luckier because it was successful! When she told me this I started thinking that if she was brave enough to try one last time than I should too.
That, and a little nudge from Jake, gave me the courage to talk to the doctor about affordable options that might be available for me to try again to have a baby. It was January of 2017 and that very day I walked out with a $2 prescription to try and a possible procedure.
Unfortunately, the first round of medication didn't work at all and sounded like it may not be a medication that would work for me at all. But, I had already filled the next round of medicine and decided to take it anyway. Because of some terrible timing and schedule issues, the day I was supposed to have the follow up procedure wasn't going to work and I didn't have it. So, I decided to go for the third and final round of the medicine. Before starting the medication, I took the recommended pregnancy test and couldn't believe it. I didn't believe it. Within a week, I took five more tests. They all came back with the same results. All positive.
Because of Amanda and Ryan and their miracle baby, Rowan, Jake and I got our miracle Baby Clara.
