Thank you for sharing your touching story. It gives us inspiration and hope that good things happen to good people. Although I do not know the details, my wife's sister has been trying for 5 years and they have just announced that she will be due in August. Similarly, they held off in announcing their news, and I cannot imagine all they have went through.

I wish you and your wife a great journey. Take good care of them!

Great story Chris! Thanks for sharing. Good luck through the last phase. There is nothing better in life than looking into your newborn's eyes for the first time. My thoughts will be with you and your wife.

Thaks for sharing Chris,

My wife and I also had difficulty getting pregnant, but after two successful IVF we have two healthy boys (5 and 3). All I can say is having kids really puts things into perspective, they (wife and kids) are the number one priority and everything else is a distant second.

Congrats and god bless

Congrats, Chris. Thanks for sharing a great story. Bask in every moment, as they grow up fast (that pea size shape in the ultrasound will be running, talking, and playing before you know it)!

Chris!

I haven't posted here that often in recent times, but I have to in this case. Congratulations to you & Pam - amazing story. Btw, I think I did see a gear lever in your baby boy's hand.

Chris......

The 993 model porsche usually comes with two small seats which are behind the front seats check your car, you may have these fitted, I'm sure a man with your technical abilities, along with some foam rubber, gaffer tape and glue, will be able to fashion a set of two 'child' seats from these thus saving $$$$$...s

Seriously...........wonderful news thank you for sharing it and every good wish to Mrs Chris and yourself

Peace and Happiness

Ash

Congrats Chris!!! We went through many of the same trials as y'all so I know how ecstatic you both are. For the record our 2 kids are now in college. Have fun and get your sleep while you can.

Chris,
Hearty congratulations to you and your wife. Parenthood is both an tremendous responsibility but at the same time, the most rewarding aspect of life as we know it. Watching my daughter grow and develop over the last 4 years has been a truly amazing experience for me.

Attached are a couple of pics that show Recaro baby seats...they are very very well built.

An update from Mothers Day. Actually, the day prior Pam had her baby shower. Needless to say we have been inundated with gifts! These little clothes are something I am not used to seeing Our baby has more shoes than I do!



This week we are completing two classes we are taking, child birthing ( I call it 24hrs of Lamaze ) and a newborn care class. We are learning a lot!

Pam see's a Doctor three times a week. One for her recently diagnosed gestational diabetes and the other two for 2x weekly monitoring for contraction activity and baby's hear rate. We've been lucky!

Every day is precious! We are hoping and praying for the luxury of a full term baby!!
