JODI WRITES-
I'm grinning ear to ear and am in awe of life! I saw my precious baby today in an ultrasound. Tim got to be there via speakerphone. Our baby has the cutest fingers and toes I've ever seen. The baby was kicking and moving and so full of life. How can I wait to meet him/her?
I also marveled as I looked at Jill lyjng on the table with the ultrasound camera on her belly. If it weren't for her, this little one wouldn't exist. Does she really understand how significant her sacrifice is? I thought about what my friend, Tracey Wasson told me. She said, "Jodi, you're the only woman I know who gets to experience what it's like to be the husband." She is right! I found myself wanting to open doors for her and not let her carry anything heavy and just so proud of her. We tried to take a peek at the privates, but no luck. Still too young to tell if we've got a boy or a girl.
The whole Whittemore family is coming back to Seattle next Friday. Yippee! I had called Jill about a month ago and said, "Since we're going to be a blended family, what do you think about us coming up for a week over Thanksgiving?" All of us will be going to an ultrasound together while we're there. Chloe and Christian can't wait to see Jill's belly and what's inside!
LOVE, SACRIFICE, & A NEW LIFE
We invite you to hear our story and to share our journey, a journey that began for Jodi and Tim with a desire for another child, and for Jill and Ryan, a desire to help . . .

I had a good cry watching the videos. The kids were priceless and what a gift you gave to your team. I loved seeing your mom in the window reflection with the kids:)
You are clearly giving the glory to God and it is a blessing to your friends.
Praying for you, Jill and the baby.
Wow! I love that you are sharing what could be a private matter with all of your Arbonne family. It is a privilege to know that such wonderful families exist in this world that so freely give of each other to benefit one another. Your bond of friendship will only deepen with this experience. I will continue to pray for a healthy pregnancy, delivery, and baby for all of you. Best wishes always!
