First of all, thank you to our family and friends who have supported us, encouraged us and prayed with and for us. We cannot thank you enough for the love and prayers we felt during this time.
Unfortunately, I am writing this blog post with bad news. This cycle did not work. We are speechless, devastated and really, to be honest with you, angry. Why? Why can’t this go our way?
Even though we said this was our last chance and our last cycle, Clay and I have decided we are not giving up. We will grow our family. We will find the money and do another fresh cycle. To date, we’ve spent over $17k on trying to have a family. How does that seem fair? We’ll pick up the pieces, God will provide the $7k more and we'll try again.
I am emotionally EXHAUSTED and DRAINED. I am weary. I know the Lord hears my prayers but I cannot help but question. Why this? Why us? I’ve dreamed since being a little girl to be a mommy.
I am SO thankful for my sweet Reese and will certainly hug her a lot tighter this afternoon – she is truly a miracle, after 2 failed cycles, she truly is such a blessing. I am thankful for Clay, he has been my stronghold.
This makes 7 of my babies in heaven. We rejoice in the fact we will be reunited with them one day, but our heart will hurt until then.

So sorry to hear this Jobeth. I can't even imagine how difficult this must be. Praying for you all.
Oh, JoBeth... I'm so sorry. The words I could type are ones I'm sure you've heard time and time again. You are such a wonderful mom and I know God has great plans for your precious family. I pray that you will continue to find strength, courage, and peace. Hang in there, you're an inspiration to so many people. You have such a sweet, humble, Christian heart!
I'm so sorry, Jobeth. I don't even have words reading this... Please know that we are praying for y'all.
