One thing I forgot to mention yesterday was how VERY popular Nadia was. Wow! I think that is the closest I ever felt to experiencing what movie stars/athletes/rock stars etc experience. If Nadia was out of the sling a student would say something like "look at that little baby" and then I'd have literally a MOB of students around me admiring Nadia. At the picnic when I went up to the microphone to introduce myself, I took her with me and introduced her as well. At the faculty meeting the Provost was there and he asked if she was our newest faculty member. Nadia had many admirers yesterday, and I let of my colleauges hold her at various points in the day as well as Ashley who will be her babysitter next week. I expected Nadia to be a magnet at church since so many had prayed for her for so long, but I admit I wasn't expecting her to be such a magnet with the college students!
We started trying to have children in May 2002. After pursuing fertility treatments, domestic, and international adoption, our daughter Nadia Renee was born on 6-24-08 (at 36w4d). IVF #2 resulted in Ian Alexander, who was born on 12-12-09 (at 34w3d). Oliver Elliot (IVF #3) was born on 8-7-12 (at 31w6d)! Three other pregnancies (in 2005, 2007, and 2013) ended in miscarriage. Our family is complete! We are so thankful for our three miracles!
