We saw our specialist today, and boy did we luck out with our doctors! Every step of the way we have been blessed with the most professional, caring, understanding, and giving doctors you could ask for. They truly have taken such special care of us and Im grateful for that. As we were watching the doctor navigate the ultrasound today, i was just in awe of what really is happening to us. As he focused in on each heartbeat, and we watched on the screen the little organs beating rapidly, i couldnt help but stop and think what a miracle it is that we are living. To experience the last 8 years of life tirelessly exhausting all avenues to start a family of our own to staring at the ultrasound screen today watching 4 separate heartbeats that are the start of our family is an experience i just dont have the words to describe. As i stared at the ultrasound screen today, the doctor asked again how long we had been trying, and i flashed back over the last 8 years. Some of those years brought about some extremely trying and painful times for Ashley and I. I remember vividly both of us being so frustrated, we wanted to just give up and throw in the towel. How grateful i am that we didnt. Life is so interesting to me. We want so badly for our wants and needs to be met in an instant moment. We want everything to just fall into place, for their to be no struggle. How grateful i am for struggle. I want everyone who knows me to understand that i appreciate every struggle i have had in my life. Every struggle i have had has shaped who i have become as a person. Every struggle Ashley and i have had in our marriage has shaped who we have become as a couple. I know my Father in Heaven has a plan for us. Every struggle we have been through has shaped our personality, our character, our mentality, our emotions, our outlook, our understanding, and our relationship. Its funny how in that moment you are ready to throw in the towel, the Lord gives you that strength you need if you allow it.You pick yourself up off the ground, dust off your clothes, and fold the towel and put it back on the shelf for another day. I want all of my friends and family to know that i believe in struggling. It makes you stronger. It allows you to search within yourself and find strengths you never knew you possessed. It teaches you humility and empathy. I thank my Father in Heaven every night for what he has blessed me with in my life. I know that i will be a better Father today because of what i experienced yesterday. I want to thank all my family and friends who have supported me my whole life. There are people in my life that have never let me down, not once, and that is rare in this world. I love you all! Thank you for the overwhelming support you all have given Ashley and I during this pregnancy. We feel like we have an army behind us, and that makes it pretty easy to tackle the next day! Never give up! You never know what tomorrow will bring! -Tyson
