Shelton & Brandi

Hello! We're Brandi & Shelton Koskie. Since 2006 we've been one of the many couples on the In Vitro Fertilization journey.

We were the first IVF fundraiser blog, and thanks to the generous help of many, in 2009 we had our first successful IVF attempt. We are expecting our first child in April 2010. You're invited to follow along on our journey from infertility to parenthood.  Learn more

Conceive Magazine, Page 60

August 19th, 2010

I could not be any more ecstatic to share with you that the featured success story in the fall 2010 issue of Conceive magazine is ours!

I submitted the story just a week or so after Paisley was born and have been anxiously awaiting to see it in print. Imagine my overwhelmed surprise when I found a three-page layout. The photos done by local photographer Melissa Mullinax illustrate the story beautifully.

I’ve already received a message from one Twitter  (@StorkonStrike) follower saying “Grt story! Inspired me to think positive.” That’s the best feedback I can hear.

If I may – I’m really proud of myself right now. Having a little healthy pride is completely acceptable. We’ve worked so hard and every day I’m reminded how abundantly blessed we are. If our story helps even one other person cope with their infertility, then mine was just a little bit more worthwhile. I’ve often said that as odd as it sounds, it’s one of the best things that’s ever happened to me.
