I’ve been here since the condo days… and this is just so amazing for you guys. Dr Hatch’s willingness to get alongside you guys is so great… Phil said it so well, her ethics are soo soo commendable. Also. Thankyou for teaching me to be so much more grateful for my 3 children, who came along extremely easily. I knew nothing about infertility until years later, when friends went through it. I so appreciate this empathy I now have for these situations, as well as not taking my easy journey to parenthood for granted. ❤
It took me 5 doctors and a move across the country from Washington to Clarksville, TN to finally find a doctor that cared and wanted to help. I found y'all around the time we were moving in 2018. We were pregnant at the same time. It felt so familiar to watch and feel all the emotions at the same time of struggle and celebration. May God bless y'all in all your adventures to whichever path y'all choose to take.
Love this.. I went to one of the best in my area years ago. The Dr said we had a 1% chance at natural conception after we went through the numbers.. I went through 2 failed IvF treatments.. a couple years later, we conceived twice without any medical intervention. unfortunately, 1 of those pregnancies we had a preterm loss.. but Im sitting here feeding my 10 month old miracle lunch right now 🙌🏽
The right doctor can literally be a matter of life or death. I am so thankful for my doctor who caught my oldest sons lack of growth in utero and is most likely the reason why he and I are still alive ❤️ Praying for you in your journey, I am so glad Dr Hatch is supporting you ☀️ god bless!
Oh my goodness, I cried when Dr. Hatch saw Cassidy. Such a precious moment. I love and admire your courage and dedication to follow your heart and continue to try to grow your family. I will be praying for your family. Thank you for sharing your story and journey with us.
I am not a fertility patient but I have been with you for years. I have to say, when I saw Dr Hatch I teared up. I wish it wasn't so but her level of compassion is too rare
I am OVER THE MOON for you guys!! This video was so full of Hope! It’s been 6yrs🥰 I have laughed, cried, prayed, rejoiced, cried some more and have loved every minute. You are part of my life, part of my extended family. Thank you for sharing & coming into my life just when I needed you 😘
I've watch you guys when you first started and you got the girls. You encouraged me and my husband keep our faith in God. We went threw IVF and we now have a beautiful little girl who will be 1 on the 18th. Thank you both for Bing a light this world needs. You bring so much love to this crazy world. Thank you guys for everything ❤️. You are sooo loved and appreciated!!
20:40 This is why I became a bereavement dula. After my daughter was still born in 2008 I did volunteer a few years to do photos in hospital for losses. But the talking and the listening and the nurturing I was doing winddoing photos naturally led me to this other way to help. Also right before that you were talking about doctors that don't care the only one that I've ever really felt cared about our infertility was a doctor that we saw in Germany when my husband was stationed over there in the Air Force in the early 2 thousands.
Okay, why did I get emotional when I saw Dr. Hatch?! I felt like I was seeing an old friend again too, haha. I'm so happy that you guys are working with her again to help figure out what your next steps are! (I've been watching you guys since you adopted Callie. Also random, but we have an awesome pediatrician for my girls after an awful experience with their old one, and the things you say about Dr. Hatch as a person and a doctor, sounds very much like her. Doctors like them are a gift
Hi friends. I've been watching you for so many years and I want to thank you so much for gently sharing about your faith. I've been far away from Him for over twenty years and my usual response to hearing about others' faith was to be negative in some fashion. Your gentle ways gradually softened my heart and then God really moved in my life in a way that I couldn't deny His greatness! I was recently baptized! I needed to thank you because you played a part in my journey back into the Lord's arms. I'm very grateful
Hey I have been following you for years. Found you while going through my own IVF journey , when I was really lonely. I finished med school last summer. This video was so inspiring to me. Sometimes after years of studying, the stress and difficulties through this journey, you ask yourself why you chose this to begin with. Thank you for reminding me. Im not even Christian but I still love listening to you guys. Your faith and respect for one another is inspiring. Let your love multiplies. ❤
Omg I want to fly out to see Dr. Hatch ❤she’s so empathetic and compassionate!!! I’m so happy y’all are going back to see her 🤗 and THANK YOU for sharing your journey . You are the channel that made me realize I am not alone . Also, side note ; Phil is hilarious “ crazy is our love language “ 😂
I am so glad y'all are back with Dr. Hatch! I am not at all surprised that just hearing her voice and talking through next steps was incredibly comforting to both of you. So so happy!
Oh Alex 😭 This is an unfathomable journey for you and Phil and anyone else going through this. I would think having a very compassionate and dedicated doctor would be of utmost importance! I’m so so glad you are talking to Dr Hatch again. If I were going through this, hands down that’s who I would want! She is a beautiful soul and so are you and Phil! Praying and sending all the positive baby vibes! ♥️
Encouraged about your journey with Dr Hatch! Our last ditch effort resulted in our second son who I’m currently 39 weeks pregnant with. ❤️ Pray for a peaceful and safe labor and delivery. 🙏
I'm SO, SO, SO happy for you that you're back with you California doc!!!. So relieved and calmer. And I don't know why. When I read the title of this vlog a calmness came over mel. Good vibes, good luck, God's Grace be on you all.
Dr hatch I think brings that sparkle back in your eye and the hope that you need! She believes in you and the process and she wholeheartedly wants it to succeed! ❤
Oh she is such an amazing and caring Doctor. She was the first Doctor I had 'experience' with on infertility. With you explaining your latest experience with her things really struck me how important each step is. What a blessing to have her as your Dr.
I have been with you guys since Callie was maybe 1 or 2, my daughter is a few months younger than Callie. It’s so amazing the journey you have been on. I love that Dr Hatch is back!
Oh it was so good to hear Dr. Hatch talking with you both! Her reaction to Cassidy was beautiful ❤️ Alex & Phillip I pray that wherever God leads you, your dreams will come true! I love the relationship you both have with Dr. Hatch, so if that's your choice & where you feel God is leading I sincerely hope it works!
I remember commenting when you first started as I was adopted and also had had fertility problems due to Endometriosis and PCOS. I was so blessed after being told I would never have children and I did and I have the most amazing 26 year old daughter. Seeing Dr Hatch and remembering her love and care of you guys was just so inspiring. I have just been thru years with a genetic eye disorder that left an eye after 3 cornea transplants and it perforated so painful with no sight. For two years we tried every surgery every trick every medication but the pain horrific. I asked to have it removed and I understand needing to save an eye but sometimes the overall health of a patient outweighs the saving. Finally one guy truly LISTENED and removed my eye a few months ago and I am a totally new human. Life is fantastic. Sometimes we need to follow our gut and our own intuition and fight but sometimes you just need a Dr Hatch who is compassionate and looks at the whole patient. Sending you so much love Leisa Western Australia xxxx
Thank you for sharing your journey. The connection you have with us really creates a support system. Your words are so encouraging. Holding your hand through this. ❤️❤️
So happy to see Dr Hatch again 😃 Literally made my day! Everyone needs a Dr Hatch. I understand the conveyor belt feeling and the frustration of clinics not giving appointments on weekends, even if that's what would be best for you and your cycle. It makes an upsetting situation so much more stressful, at a time when you want to stay calm and positive, you can instead feel like you're having to fight your corner. Sending you love and light, this feels so positive for you and your wonderful family 💖
You are so lucky to have a doctor that cares. I have trauma from my mother’s uncaring heart surgeon. Thankfully she came through major heart surgery, but it was due to a lot of prayer. She is a grandmother now.
To hear Phil say that I’m the crème de la crème because I use my brokeness to help others going through or before they go through the same things makes me feel so seen and special ❤❤ Thank you two for everything that you’ve done for all of us by sharing your journey through infertility! You’ve helped me get prepared for my own fertility issues! You’ve made such a *HUGE* impact on my life and mental wellbeing!(:
Man watching you explain the experience you had during your most recent transfer breaks my heart! Dr. Jeffrey Keenan at Southwest Fertility in Knoxville, TN is a brilliant man, has such a kind heart and you can tell he cares deeply for every single embryo that he gets to transfer. Our experience with 4 transfers were always positive, the TV screen was on the wall where you could watch and he was explaining everything he was doing along the way. His fertility clinic works in conjunction with NEDC which was the process we took as we couldn't naturally conceive. Faith-based and the most amazing staff that believes each and every embryo is life and works their hardest to honor them throughout the entire process. He is world-renowned for his work with frozen embryos and teaches at a local university as well. Can you tell I am so passionate about the work he does?!?!?
ahhhh!!!! 🎉 i’m screaming on the inside like a crazy person with soo much excitement I have watched since the very beginning i literally think it was video 3 or 4 that y’all ever even put out i’ve walked infertility hand and has with y’all shared y’all with friends who over time have had there own fertility struggles and cannot say how much i loved dr hatch. I actually made my husband watch some of your videos and experience dr hatch before we sought out the specialist that ultimately helped bring our two babies to us. your 100% accurate in that desire to find someone who feels like a partner in your success! thank you for sharing and being soo raw im no longer in the thick of infertility but i’m eager on the edge of my seat hoping,praying and cheering on your journey becuase you gave me that strength and support during my journey when truly no one in our immediate lives was dealing with what we were! ❤
I remember when you lived in California and you were going to Dr. Hatch and went to see another doctor and immediately went back to Dr. Hatch! Praying for the best!
Hey Alex and Phil I got told after my middle daughter was born I got told I couldn't have any more but I have a beautiful 8 almost 9 month old daughter God is good
Ok, this was a welcome back feel good video. Was good to see and hear Dr.Hatch . She is a rare doctor by todays standard. All nurses and doctors used to be like that. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and am so up to this journey. Your family needed to touch base with DrHatch your friend. Wishing you all the best.
100% agree with what you said about a doctor’s bedside manner. The first RE we saw was super results driven. He didn’t care at what cost he got results. Later found out he hyper-stimulated a friend’s ovaries and she nearly lost an ovary. He *made* everyone sign a contract to say they’d selectively reduce above twins. How heartbreaking after years of infertility to make someone choose which baby to terminate?! It definitely felt like a conveyer belt there and we left without treatment from him and got a second opinion. The second doctor was so kind and compassionate. She showed us a picture of her family (all different races) and said there was more than one way to grow a family (ie adoption). Also relate to desperately wanting to be in the center of God’s will with whatever we did (wait for healing, adopt, IVF, childless). We went to Brooklyn Tabernacle, NY to their prayer meeting with high hopes of God speaking to us. He sure did! It was SUCH a blessing to hear from Him and have that evening to pin our hopes on and recall those promises after losses and a long wait. God is faithful and He is good. Praying for you guys as you continue on this journey. 💕
You two are wonderful parents--whether you give birth or adopt, you've got to hang in there. You have so many wonderful attributes to share with little ones!
When Phillip was talking about taking your brokenness to create something positive:.. I was actually stopping and restarting the video so I cld write down exactly what he said. Very inspiring
Good luck Alex and phill..Alex ..u r a strong woman..I'm also fighting with infertility...had 3 miscarriages...and your strength ,your beliefs, your positivity give me so much strength to fight...all the best honey ....god bless u both
I'm so excited for you guys. I had goosebumps when I watched this vlog. Hearing Dr Hatch again and seeing your facing during the call was pure love. If you can, go for it. Sending hugs.
I’ve never commented but found you during our infertility journey years ago and I just wanted to say you guys are so inspiring and I am so excited for you and hopefully Dr Hatch will come through again because you guys deserve allll the beautiful things in this world ❤❤
out of the 5 doctors over multiple states I had the same experience you all had there in nashville, I had 1 doctor tell me to sell my eggs to pay for my IVF cause I was so healthy and I would give people beautiful babies, but didn't care that my IVF didn't work. others refuse to conduct simple procedures like a biopsy of my lining to see if baby was implanting into good ground because "if you ovulate well it will stick" my regular gyn was the one who finally did the biopsy 10 years later and found my borderline endometrial cancer and said no baby could grow in that environment. 2 years later after her getting me the treatments and me recovering I got pregnant naturally and carried my rainbow baby, on record #9 he will be 5 in may and 3 years later conceived and delivered my 2nd rainbow naturally. I'm so glad you went back to dr. hatch and i'm praying for your hearts desire to be fulfilled!
I am to the point of bawling. Sooooo happy to see Dr. hatch and to know you guys will be with her this time just warms my heart. She is so special and so are you guys.
Prayers for all of you. I appreciate how you share your lives with us. My hubby and I had infertility issues, we had three pregnancies resulting in miscarriages, we adopted our son and I still wanted to try IVF but I had to have a hysterectomy. So we adopted a another baby and made our lives complete. Believing in the best for you all
So glad to see you talk about your journey with Dr. Hatch! She is literally the best! Praying for you guys and this journey! I have been with you guys since the beginning and have watched all the struggles and good times with your IVF journey and am hoping for the best for you guys.
I'm so happy your channel is growing. There aren't many (real) family channels out there. I will be praying for this Ivf journey to go smoothly. God bless you and your sweet family ❤️
So FUN seeing Dr Hatch again❤️🤗... I think this is absolutely the BEST way to go... I live in Corona, California Alex & if there is anything I can do... Pick you up... Take you to your appointments... A place to stay your Welcome here & I would be honored to drive you or hold a friendly hand if needed... Watching your Family grow since baby Kinsley has been AMAZING... then Calle & The miracle of Cassidy as well as many "Fur babies" has been an honor & Blessed being a part of the outside family looking in... Hugs & Blessings while you negotiate this next adventure... GBY ALL 🙏❤️💙💖💖💖🐕🤗✝️
I totally understand the feeling of the big fertility center. I went to one when we first started our journey and due to these feelings we moved to a smaller one. We were not able to do ivf due to low/bad cells. I pray Our God blesses you with another baby. I know i have been blessed by OUR God in many ways. I love watching your stories and family. Thanks for sharing your lives with the world. HUGS!
I've been part of the family since 2016 when I was trying for my 1st baby. I now have 3 thanks to my brilliant fertility specialist. Go with what feels right. Sending all the love ❤️
32 now, was told at 17 I would need medical assistance to conceive. Very true. No success story here, but I still love hearing and seeing your beautiful family.
Am beyond joyful that your care/faith is with Dr. Hatch! I can only imagine what this will bring to your next journey! Wishing all the best and praying for even more 👍💕
I’ve been a loyal viewer since you adopted the girls…Dr Hatch is one in a million and I’m so happy you were able to connect with her again. Praying for you continually ❤
What a huge blessing that Dr is!! I declare that 2023 is going to be YOUR YEAR OF MIRACLES!! Your miracle baby boy is on its way guys! God says he will give us the desires of our hearts, & I will keep praying 4 ur family 2 grow ❤️🥰🙌 in Jesus name AMEN!
SO excited. Have followed you since the beginning, since then doing 4 rounds of IVF ourselves and getting our 3 year old daughter. No more for us but im so excited and have the butterflies for you watching this!!! AHHH!!! Yay. praying for you guys
We did 2 retrievals and 4 transfer with a total of 5 embryos. We have 1 healthy 3 year boy 💙 So so thankful, but would give anything to be able to do it all again!
I can remember your first consultation with Dr Hatch. Been following you since Callie was tiny with her braces on for her hips, and have been riding along with you on your journey through IVF let's hope Dr Hatch can work her miracles again.
You are so blessed to have a doctor who really cares! My doctor is the same way (maybe because she felt with infertility herself) and I had the best results with her for now.
It sounds like your Dr. Hatch is humble enough to be the instrument in the Lord’s hands to bring about answers to fervent prayers and gives the glory back to him. She’s a keeper for sure 👍🏻👌🏻🫶🏻😁❤️
Not that my opinion really has weight or matters, but it really does FEEL right for you guys to do this with Dr. Hatch again. I really do feel like you’ll have completely different results going back to her. I’m so excited for your family!
So happy you are back to Dr. Hatch! I have been following your journey for a long time- years before you conceived Cassidy. I can see the real excitement in you Alex, and some optimism in you Phil! God Bless Dr. Hatch!
I love Dr hatch! Been watching since your miscarriage when the embryo split. The same thing had just happened to me and no one took the time to really explain in depth what had happened. Your video gave me such comfort at the time . She is so kind and caring. I now have a nearly 4 year old. You couldn't be in better hands I'm sure xxx
I cried when you said “you are not alone🥲”. A lot of the times I’ve felt so alone. I know I have my husband and he wants kids as much as I do but sometimes it just feels like I’m alone.
I so thrilled that you have such an amazing relationship with Dr. Hatch. I feel the same way about my RE. (We’re in North Georgia) Our IVF miracle rainbow baby is about 3ish months younger than Cassidy, and we’re toying with the idea of starting another transfer cycle towards the end of the year. I look forward to watching your experience and I hope, more than anything, we’ll get to be baby bump buddies again this time around. Best of luck to you and Phillip!
We've been at a "conveyor belt" clinic for years. We are finally moving on after going through all of our embryos. It's so nice to see a Doctor who knows their patients so well. Ours couldn't even tell you our names.
Just beautiful ❤ having the right people on your team during infertility is the most important part. Just had my 14th egg retrieval and my team are incredible and are not giving up on my dream. Wishing you all the best on this next step in your journey. Hugs from Australia ❤
I am really loving the more structured and calm videos you guys are putting out these days. I have a question - which I ask with the utmost respect: with your kids getting older, do you guys give them the choice of being on the internet or not? I am just curios about it. I have been here since Kingsley came along, so I am so excited for this next phase in your IVF and homestead journey. I pray for success in everything you do.
thank you so much for inviting us all into your lives and struggles.Sadly iv'e been thinking this about doctors in general for a while now. They don't seem to care if your healthy they just do the bare minimum. If more patients were like you and stood up to it we could change that.
I have been watching you since the days in the condo. I still remember...a lot. I am super excited about Dr. Hatch being involved. She was determined for you to be pregnant as you and Phil were. ❤️ Love the reunion.❤️
You need a doctor who wants this dream as much as you… that person is Dr. Hatch!!
I second this!!!!
Yessssssss
I could have said it better.She is amazing 💖
Is there more information about Dr Hatch?
Infertility x 3 children.
I’ve been here since the condo days… and this is just so amazing for you guys. Dr Hatch’s willingness to get alongside you guys is so great… Phil said it so well, her ethics are soo soo commendable. Also. Thankyou for teaching me to be so much more grateful for my 3 children, who came along extremely easily. I knew nothing about infertility until years later, when friends went through it. I so appreciate this empathy I now have for these situations, as well as not taking my easy journey to parenthood for granted. ❤
Been here since Kinsley was an infant. I’m so grateful for Dr. Hatch. Her love for y’all is so evident. 💜
Same. 💕
Me too!!
I started going to Dr Hatch back in 2019 thanks to you guys! I now have a 15 month old and working on another transfer. LOVE HER!!!!!!
It took me 5 doctors and a move across the country from Washington to Clarksville, TN to finally find a doctor that cared and wanted to help. I found y'all around the time we were moving in 2018. We were pregnant at the same time. It felt so familiar to watch and feel all the emotions at the same time of struggle and celebration.

I’m so happy y’all are going back to see her 🤗 and THANK YOU for sharing your journey . You are the channel that made me realize I am not alone .
Also, side note ; Phil is hilarious “ crazy is our love language “ 😂
I honestly might consider doing that when I try for my baby in two years
I am so glad y'all are back with Dr. Hatch! I am not at all surprised that just hearing her voice and talking through next steps was incredibly comforting to both of you. So so happy!

I have chills all the way down my body I am so happy you guys are going with your original doctor I have such good feelings and I have so much faith
Oh it was so good to hear Dr. Hatch talking with you both! Her reaction to Cassidy was beautiful ❤️ Alex & Phillip I pray that wherever God leads you, your dreams will come true! I love the relationship you both have with Dr. Hatch, so if that's your choice & where you feel God is leading I sincerely hope it works!
Living out of brokenness - amen! God uses brokenness in our lives to minister to other broken people (and we’re all broken in one way or another)!
The fact that Dr Hatch took the time to sit down with you , hear your concerns, and make a game plan speaks volumes.
Good doctors make the biggest difference! It’s so hard to find them, but when you do it is magic.

Been here since Kinsley was little and remember the journey to Callie. 💕💕 so glad to have you back with Dr. Hatch!
I remember when you lived in California and you were going to Dr. Hatch and went to see another doctor and immediately went back to Dr. Hatch! Praying for the best!
I forgot how much we all loved Dr. Hatch!! It's so nice to hear her voice!
Hey Alex and Phil I got told after my middle daughter was born I got told I couldn't have any more but I have a beautiful 8 almost 9 month old daughter God is good
Ok, this was a welcome back feel good video. Was good to see and hear Dr.Hatch . She is a rare doctor by todays standard. All nurses and doctors used to be like that. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and am so up to this journey. Your family needed to touch base with DrHatch your friend. Wishing you all the best.
100% agree with what you said about a doctor’s bedside manner. The first RE we saw was super results driven. He didn’t care at what cost he got results. Later found out he hyper-stimulated a friend’s ovaries and she nearly lost an ovary. He *made* everyone sign a contract to say they’d selectively reduce above twins. How heartbreaking after years of infertility to make someone choose which baby to terminate?! It definitely felt like a conveyer belt there and we left without treatment from him and got a second opinion. The second doctor was so kind and compassionate. She showed us a picture of her family (all different races) and said there was more than one way to grow a family (ie adoption).
Also relate to desperately wanting to be in the center of God’s will with whatever we did (wait for healing, adopt, IVF, childless). We went to Brooklyn Tabernacle, NY to their prayer meeting with high hopes of God speaking to us. He sure did! It was SUCH a blessing to hear from Him and have that evening to pin our hopes on and recall those promises after losses and a long wait. God is faithful and He is good. Praying for you guys as you continue on this journey. 💕
You two are wonderful parents--whether you give birth or adopt, you've got to hang in there. You have so many wonderful attributes to share with little ones!
When Phillip was talking about taking your brokenness to create something positive:.. I was actually stopping and restarting the video so I cld write down exactly what he said. Very inspiring
Good luck Alex and phill..Alex ..u r a strong woman..I'm also fighting with infertility...had 3 miscarriages...and your strength ,your beliefs, your positivity give me so much strength to fight...all the best honey ....god bless u both
I'm so excited for you guys. I had goosebumps when I watched this vlog. Hearing Dr Hatch again and seeing your facing during the call was pure love. If you can, go for it. Sending hugs.
A good doctor that listens is a true treasure!
What a wonderful doctor. I'm so glad you found her.
So happy you are with a doctor who is so knowledgable and compassionate - also who cares deeply. You are in our thoughts and prayers!!
I’ve never commented but found you during our infertility journey years ago and I just wanted to say you guys are so inspiring and I am so excited for you and hopefully Dr Hatch will come through again because you guys deserve allll the beautiful things in this world ❤❤
I am going to pray with you both along the road of this chapter! I praise God in advance for growing your family in this new chapter 🙏🏼!
out of the 5 doctors over multiple states I had the same experience you all had there in nashville, I had 1 doctor tell me to sell my eggs to pay for my IVF cause I was so healthy and I would give people beautiful babies, but didn't care that my IVF didn't work. others refuse to conduct simple procedures like a biopsy of my lining to see if baby was implanting into good ground because "if you ovulate well it will stick" my regular gyn was the one who finally did the biopsy 10 years later and found my borderline endometrial cancer and said no baby could grow in that environment. 2 years later after her getting me the treatments and me recovering I got pregnant naturally and carried my rainbow baby, on record #9 he will be 5 in may and 3 years later conceived and delivered my 2nd rainbow naturally. I'm so glad you went back to dr. hatch and i'm praying for your hearts desire to be fulfilled!
I am to the point of bawling. Sooooo happy to see Dr. hatch and to know you guys will be with her this time just warms my heart. She is so special and so are you guys.
We love you guys! We are praying here!! And also lifting up Doctor Hatch, seriously what a woman!
Prayers for all of you. I appreciate how you share your lives with us. My hubby and I had infertility issues, we had three pregnancies resulting in miscarriages, we adopted our son and I still wanted to try IVF but I had to have a hysterectomy. So we adopted a another baby and made our lives complete. Believing in the best for you all
I am crying without this even being over because I'm so happy for you and Phil reaching out to Dr Hatch
I'm so glad Dr Hatch is back!
I loved seeing Dr. Hatch, and I loved seeing you guys light up while reconnecting with her. So special. I'm praying for this new journey 🙏 ❤️
So glad to see you talk about your journey with Dr. Hatch! She is literally the best! Praying for you guys and this journey! I have been with you guys since the beginning and have watched all the struggles and good times with your IVF journey and am hoping for the best for you guys.
I'm so happy your channel is growing. There aren't many (real) family channels out there. I will be praying for this Ivf journey to go smoothly. God bless you and your sweet family ❤️
So FUN seeing Dr Hatch again❤️🤗...
I think this is absolutely the BEST way to go... I live in Corona, California Alex & if there is anything I can do... Pick you up... Take you to your appointments... A place to stay your Welcome here & I would be honored to drive you or hold a friendly hand if needed...
Watching your Family grow since baby Kinsley has been AMAZING... then Calle & The miracle of Cassidy as well as many "Fur babies" has been an honor & Blessed being a part of the outside family looking in...
Hugs & Blessings while you negotiate this next adventure...
GBY ALL 🙏❤️💙💖💖💖🐕🤗✝️
Thank you for sharing with us. Dr Hatch is amazing! She reminds me of my ObGyn. What a blessing Dr Hatch is!! Many prayers!!!
I could just feel the peace in this video. She is a gift from God
I totally understand the feeling of the big fertility center. I went to one when we first started our journey and due to these feelings we moved to a smaller one. We were not able to do ivf due to low/bad cells. I pray Our God blesses you with another baby. I know i have been blessed by OUR God in many ways. I love watching your stories and family. Thanks for sharing your lives with the world. HUGS!
I've been here since Callie"s birth mom reached out to you guys, and followed your journey with Callie's pregnancy to now
I've been part of the family since 2016 when I was trying for my 1st baby. I now have 3 thanks to my brilliant fertility specialist. Go with what feels right. Sending all the love ❤️
32 now, was told at 17 I would need medical assistance to conceive. Very true. No success story here, but I still love hearing and seeing your beautiful family.
Am beyond joyful that your care/faith is with Dr. Hatch! I can only imagine what this will bring to your next journey! Wishing all the best and praying for even more 👍💕
Thank you Alex for sharing your infertility journey. It is so important for everyone struggling to know they are not alone.❤
I’ve been a loyal viewer since you adopted the girls…Dr Hatch is one in a million and I’m so happy you were able to connect with her again. Praying for you continually ❤
so happy to hear you’re back with someone who wants to make more dreams come true. praying for you guys, good luck!
What a huge blessing that Dr is!! I declare that 2023 is going to be YOUR YEAR OF MIRACLES!! Your miracle baby boy is on its way guys! God says he will give us the desires of our hearts, & I will keep praying 4 ur family 2 grow ❤️🥰🙌 in Jesus name AMEN!
Yayyyy! I think this is a good move. The Dr actually caring does make a big difference. Wishing you the best on this next step.
SO excited. Have followed you since the beginning, since then doing 4 rounds of IVF ourselves and getting our 3 year old daughter. No more for us but im so excited and have the butterflies for you watching this!!! AHHH!!! Yay. praying for you guys
This is so exciting. I'm only 20 seconds in but grinning big and thinking big thoughts for you
We did 2 retrievals and 4 transfer with a total of 5 embryos. We have 1 healthy 3 year boy 💙
So so thankful, but would give anything to be able to do it all again!
Not Alex making me bawl the first 8 minutes of this video! We love you guys. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤
I can remember your first consultation with Dr Hatch. Been following you since Callie was tiny with her braces on for her hips, and have been riding along with you on your journey through IVF
let's hope Dr Hatch can work her miracles again.
You are so blessed to have a doctor who really cares! My doctor is the same way (maybe because she felt with infertility herself) and I had the best results with her for now.
It sounds like your Dr. Hatch is humble enough to be the instrument in the Lord’s hands to bring about answers to fervent prayers and gives the glory back to him. She’s a keeper for sure 👍🏻👌🏻🫶🏻😁❤️
Not that my opinion really has weight or matters, but it really does FEEL right for you guys to do this with Dr. Hatch again. I really do feel like you’ll have completely different results going back to her. I’m so excited for your family!
So happy you are back to Dr. Hatch! I have been following your journey for a long time- years before you conceived Cassidy. I can see the real excitement in you Alex, and some optimism in you Phil! God Bless Dr. Hatch!
I love Dr hatch! Been watching since your miscarriage when the embryo split. The same thing had just happened to me and no one took the time to really explain in depth what had happened. Your video gave me such comfort at the time . She is so kind and caring. I now have a nearly 4 year old. You couldn't be in better hands I'm sure xxx
Love Dr.Hatch so glad she will be with you guys again during this journey. I have been here since callie was a baby. ❤
I cried when you said “you are not alone🥲”. A lot of the times I’ve felt so alone. I know I have my husband and he wants kids as much as I do but sometimes it just feels like I’m alone.
I so thrilled that you have such an amazing relationship with Dr. Hatch. I feel the same way about my RE. (We’re in North Georgia) Our IVF miracle rainbow baby is about 3ish months younger than Cassidy, and we’re toying with the idea of starting another transfer cycle towards the end of the year. I look forward to watching your experience and I hope, more than anything, we’ll get to be baby bump buddies again this time around. Best of luck to you and Phillip!
I'm so excited that you're going back to see Dr. Hatch. She sounds incredible. Prayers coming your way
We've been at a "conveyor belt" clinic for years. We are finally moving on after going through all of our embryos. It's so nice to see a Doctor who knows their patients so well. Ours couldn't even tell you our names.
Just beautiful ❤ having the right people on your team during infertility is the most important part. Just had my 14th egg retrieval and my team are incredible and are not giving up on my dream. Wishing you all the best on this next step in your journey. Hugs from Australia ❤
I am really loving the more structured and calm videos you guys are putting out these days.
I have a question - which I ask with the utmost respect: with your kids getting older, do you guys give them the choice of being on the internet or not? I am just curios about it.
I have been here since Kingsley came along, so I am so excited for this next phase in your IVF and homestead journey.
I pray for success in everything you do.
Makes total sense, feels like a production line
I love Dr Hatch! And haven’t even met her. You can just see the care she has for you. Bless you guys on this next adventure if you proceed with her. ❤
thank you so much for inviting us all into your lives and struggles.Sadly iv'e been thinking this about doctors in general for a while now. They don't seem to care if your healthy they just do the bare minimum. If more patients were like you and stood up to it we could change that.
I have been watching you since the days in the condo. I still remember...a lot. I am super excited about Dr. Hatch being involved. She was determined for you to be pregnant as you and Phil were. ❤️ Love the reunion.❤️
