God Story.
Sorry, I didn’t really give details last night, but I was itching to share our news!! So, a little over 3 weeks ago, on a Wednesday night, I took a pregnancy test totally out of routine, before starting fertility medicine, I always have to do that. I have probally done this 100 times. Well, I laid it on the counter and waited before throwing it in the trash, just to make sure it wasn’t positive before starting medicine. I looked up and clear as day the test said PREGNANT! I walked in the living room and told Allen to come in bedroom, he thought he had done something wrong! I said, “Please look at what this says!” He immediately said, ” You better start drinking more water so you can take another one!!” That is just what I did…and we even thought about visiting my friend Denise at the ER to do a quick blood test…but we ended up taking another test that night and then the next morning, all saying the same thing…PREGNANT! I then called my doctor, and she couldn’t believe it. I went and did blood work to see what my levels were and see what was going on. Sure enough, she called that afternoon, and my levels were so high that she said we could see a heartbeat the next day!!! What, this is crazy, beyond crazy!! Allen and I went that Friday to see a heartbeat and we saw a very strong heartbeat, ONE baby, and measured a little over 7 weeks!!! We went back to the doctor last Friday and everything looks very good.
One thing to know, we had been doing oral medicine, Clomide, since October and nothing really was working. The last time I had done this medicine was the first of January, and I had blood work after it showing my levels were very low and things had not worked. So this is all the more reason to be in all of our Lord’s timing, perfection, and miracles!!
Thank you, Jesus. This is what has resonated in my mind so much. In the mix of preparing to honor and remember the six babies passing just a year ago, to get this news, all I can think and say is, Thank You, Jesus. One thing that has really grabbed my heart is HOPE. I had no idea how much I had given up hope, until we found out we were pregnant, and feeling like I was given hope back.
I will continually to post some things that have meant a ton through this last year as we continue to remember Joy, Hope, Jonathan, David, Jacob, and Evan as well as share how things are going.

Congratulations and blessings to you and your family!
Praise the Lord! What an amazing testimony to His love!

Hey Courtney, You do not know me, but I have heard of your story through mutual friends. Kim Neely is my best friend and Carrie Brown is also a dear friend. I just wanted to say that I wept with you when you lost your babies and now I am sooooo excited for you that you are pregnant! I have 2 children. A 2 year old and a 5 month old. I had a miscarrige pretty early in the pregnancy before my 2 year old was born and it was the worst day of my life. I can not imagine the pain you went through with losing 6. But I know that God is so good and he taught me a lot through my loss and I know he is using yours as well. I am on my knees praying for you that you and your babies stay healthy and strong. From everything have heard about you, you will be such a good mommy! Congratulations!
love, Kelli
I am so excited!!! WE LOVE and are praying for your baby
I have been following your blog since your babies went to be with Jesus way too early. I am so happy for you and your husband. All of my prayers are with you that this pregnancy will be successful and you will be holding a precious baby soon.
Courtney,
You don’t know me at all, but I have followed your blog and prayed fervantly for you, allen and your precious 6 babies last year at this time. I have been so blessed lately by you sharing pictures of them and your stories. You have an amazing faith, that I can see clearing has been a witness to many through out this past year. We lost our 5 child, Samuel Mark, almost 18 mos. ago. He was stillborn full term due to a cord accident they think. So I can relate you the of loss. We also have struggled with infertility as well.
But even with that pain, here celebrating your kids birthdays in Heaven there is such joy with a new baby on the way. Joy and pain, so is the journey of this life. I am praising God with you on this new blessed miracle He is growing inside of you. I am just thrilled for you… just thrilled. I will be praying for the Lord to give you great peace and to knit that precious little one together more and more each day. Praying for you now!

Congrats Allen and Courtney! I have been following you all for over a year now, and this is the most amazing miracle announcement! God has already touched so many lives through your story, and he’s not stopping!!! Praise the Lord for you two.
Courtney and Allen, I have been reading your blog since last March, when I think it was Angie Smith asked us to pray for y’all. I really am so thrilled that God blessed you with this baby in His own miraculous way! That is so cool to know it was all God and not medicines. And his timing is perfect.
I enjoyed reading your recent posts about your other precious babies. They will be remembered.
Take good care of yourself and we will keep you covered in prayer.
Courtney,
