An Introduction to the Baxley's

A blog is something I have wanted to do for quite some time now, but I have always wondered if anyone would read my ramblings! I used to write all the time, and I found it was a wonderful outlet for my emotions. So, regardless if anyone reads.....I will write!

Wade and I were married on September 6, 2003.


We have had a wonderful 7 years of marriage, although the last year and a half has been very trying for both of us. January 2, 2009 we lost my mother, Helen Booth. She had been fighting a courageous battle with cancer since April of 2007. Not only was she the most awesome mother, she was also my very best friend. Living life without her has been an indescribable challenge, but with the help of my wonderful support system and my loving God, I have learned to live again.


Then, in June of 2009, Wade and I were told that in order to be parents we would most likely have to undergo in-vitro fertilization. However, due to the incredible cost of such procedures, we knew that this was not an option for us. I decided that I would continue to pray that God would bless us with a child, and if it was not in His will for Wade and I to be parents, I would just be the best aunt I could be! Now, after a 6 year battle with infertility, Wade and I are expecting our first child in March 2011. God is so good! We could not be happier!


This is our little bundle of joy at 11 weeks old! Hopefully in about 5 weeks we will know if we are having a little boy or girl! Although we will welcome either with lots of love, we are anxious to find out!

  2. Oh my goodness Bonnie, I had no idea you struggled with infertility. Stephen and I are just in the beginning stages of my infertility. I couldn't imagine stuggling for six years. It so hard already. Congratulations on your miracle baby!! God is so good, and I am so happy for you!! I am going to follow your blog now!! You can follow mine at allisoncrewsnews.blogspot.com and sosweetsewing.blogspot.com. I will continue to pray for you and Wade, and your pregnancy. Email me sometime at allisoncrews@panhandle.rr.com I would love to hear your story. I find it is so much easier to deal with IF when you have people you relate to that you can talk to. Yay for Baby Baxley!!
