Congratulations Chris!!!
The wife and I were told that having one the old fashioned way wasn't going to work for us as well. We went through two rounds of IVF with no success and a severely dented savings as well.
We ended up getting pregnant shortly after we figured it wasn't in the cards for us.
Got a healthy 18 month-old boy sleeping in the other room as I type this, who I will someday have to tell we spent his college fund before he got here.
I probably don't love him any more than a normal parent loves their child, but he is a special little miracle to me.
Again, congrats and enjoy the ride...

P.S. My friends get a kick out of seeing the car seat in the back of the car.

Congratulations! Now you'll probably follow this up with lots of babies in the future, now that the pressure is off. Seems to happen a lot with people who try for a long time and end up adopting. 7-months is almost the home stretch.

Congrats! What an accomplishment. I have had several friends in that boat, one currently. My youngest daughter also has Endo, and is devestated. The medication she is on pretty much precludes having children, but she was told she can stop it, then there is a small window where she can try before going back on the medication.
So, knowing that makes me even happier for you, knowing how hard it is. It truly is "a miracle!"

Fantastic story - congratulations!
I think you should have asked for a PPI first and avoided all these problems. J/K - best wishes to you and your bride!

Chris. Congrats. I couldn't imagine how frustrating that was for you and your wife; but I'm glad to hear it worked out for you. Heed this advise, They get pregnant REALLY REALLY easy after their first.... and not just more than once, or twice; ask me how I know
Yes recaro makes some cool car seats. The infant ones will shoehorn in the back. But the tottler ones are even cooler, they'll even fit in a Recaro PP

Congratulations. Your life will never be the same. Time to sell the Porsche and start a college fund! I know, I've got two in college (out of state tuition ouch!) and one still in High school. Thank god the Porsche has a back seat!
God Bless.
God Bless.

Chris, I have not read Rennlist for quite a while, and I just came on today and yours was the first post I read. I always read your posts. Wow. Now that is a miracle in the true sense. Not much I can add but I still want to say "Congratulations!!!" to you both and my very best wishes for you all. It is also good to see that you have been dealt a break and are expecting a boy. Before we had our Little Bundle of Joy I was told how much easier girls are. Wrong. They have 70% of the energy of boys and are 3 times as smart and they use that to make themselves the ultimate challenge. I have met my match and am more than seriously challenged by our daughter and she is only about to turn 5. I console myself in dreaming that she is undergoing early adolesnce. If this is not so and it does get a lot worse I think it will be me running away from home! Seriously, they are the ultimate computer game being challenging and unpredictable. And they can give you moments of simple joy like nothing you have yet experienced.
With my very best to you all,
With my very best to you all,

I know what you mean by girls are a handful as well. We have a very smart and sly 5 yr old niece, she is wonderful, but very smart. LOL --
Truth be told because of watching our niece grow up, we both were kinda hoping for a girl, but I think all guys wish for boys. In the end, and this may sound like a cliche', either gender is grand as long as this child is healthy and normal. And by normal I gather being much more normal that Daddy
Pam and I are both excited, but very scared at the same time! In June we'll be responsible for a human being!!
Good thing we are signed up for two child care classes, I'll need to take notes.
Over the weekend we registered at Baby's R Us. Snap-On didnt have such a program
