Do You Believe in Miracles?

We sure do! After over 3 and a half years of fasting, praying, surgery, testing, drugs, herbal remedies, fertility procedures... we are ecstatic to announce that we are having a baby!!! It has been a long, hard struggle to get to this blessing. The Lord took us to the 11th hour and we were a month away from doing the big IVF treatment. Then we were shown the greatest tender mercy of finding out we had a miracle baby on the way. We have so many friends and family members to thank for this miracle. Thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts. We have felt so blessed to have had so much support during this time. We are still in shock that this has finally happened to us. I can't even explain how blessed we feel. I had another ultrasound this morning. It was the coolest thing in the world to see such a perfect little baby moving around like crazy and to know that it is growing inside of me and is ours! Baby Hutchison is due August 28th.
We have so many friends who have been or who are going through all the fertility struggles. Please know that you are in our prayers and I hope that our miracle will give you all hope and strengthen your testimony that the Lord has a plan for all of us. He loves and cares deeply for us all. How comforting it is to know that He is in charge. That knowledge helped give us the patience we needed to endure this trial. Now that I am pregnant, I would not change a thing about the past years. I have loved all of the time I was able to spend with Andrew and to travel together. I feel like we learned a lot, or at least I sure hope so. Give yourself a pat on the back if you finished this whole thing. Just know that the Hutchisons are pretty happy these days! And this is why:
