I debated for awhile on whether or not I would write this post right now. But then, I really got to thinking, which I will explain in more detail below, and decided I would.
We found out a few days ago through a HPT that we are indeed pregnant. It is surreal to even type those words. Its been a long time. 7 years of trying, failed IUI’s, surgeries, 4 IVF’s, 3 miscarriages, and here we are again, pregnant.
First, I should start off by saying that we are thrilled. I cant, and I wont deny or take away from that. We are thanking God every minute. And thats exactly why I am sharing this with all of our supporters so early on.
The truth is, from the moment we saw those 2 pink lines show up, our lives forever changed again. We are beyond invested. We already have our hopes & dreams for this pregnancy, we share them with each other everyday. We want to celebrate every minute of this life or lives inside of me that we can.
We know how quickly it all can change. And God forbid it does change, we want the support of those around us. That means more to us then keeping a secret. If our betas dont rise this week, or if there isnt a sac or heartbeat in a few weeks, we will need all the love and support we can get. We are trying not to think that way right now, but we know anything is possible.
We believe in the power of prayer. Please keep praying for us. We really believe this or these are our rainbow babies. We believe we will see them this winter. I have to believe because if I dont, I know thats a really dark place and I wont go there. So, we hope you can rejoice with us today in our news! Today is a good day, today we are pregnant!
You fought so hard to get here and it is by no means over yet – so we will be with you along the way!!! I will be thinking of you each day as you come closer to your dreams….and I am of course hoping we can be bump buddies too 🙂 X

Angela, you are so right about being in the present and taking the joy it offers you. You should celebrate everything that is happening right now. My “babies” are 25, 18, and 15, and I fight daily to remain in the now, because even after all the years, I still worry. And I can’t do that. There are no guarantees, only the time we have right now. Every moment is precious. My continued prayers are with you ALL!!

Congrats! I completely understand the conflict between wanting to celebrate the milestones while at the same time worrying about the what ifs. Enjoy the now because everything else is beyond your control. For now you’re pregnant! May this be the beginning of a healthy, happy pregnancy.

That was very much our attitude too. We wanted to celebrate while we could and that investment made things seems so much more likely to go as we want. Good luck, love!

You don’t know me, but I somehow stumbled upon your story and blog sometime last year. I’ve followed ever since in hopes that you would share an update like this. I must admit that while I cannot personally relate to your story, your story has helped to shed light on so many others that can. Your struggles, hopes, dreams, and prayers….so heartachingly and beautifully written. If no one has yet approached you about turning your blogs into a book, they should. Best of luck – I know just from your words that there is still much to overcome. Thoughts and prayers that you will have your little one (or two!) for Christmas.
