Many years ago I was told it would be very hard for me to conceive and I have to admit, as much as I wanted it to happen I just didn't think it possible. Friends and family would tell me to have faith and that by the time I was ready to try there would be help available to make my dream come true. My friends and family were right all along and I couldn't be happier!
Once John and I decided to start trying we knew we could potentially have a long road ahead of us. After going to the wonderful Dr. P and figuring out a plan we got started. After he figured out just the right formula for us, we soon were waiting for that exciting day when we could take a home pregnancy test and see if that cycle was the success we'd been hoping for.
I'll never forget that day. It was a Sunday and we were actually supposed to test on Monday morning. We decided that one day wouldn't be that big of a deal ;) So I did what I needed to do, came out to the den to sit with John, and we just sat and watched that little blinking hourglass for what seemed like hours. Then all of a sudden the big fat word PREGNANT was staring us right in the face. I can say with all honesty that I have never in my life been so shocked. The thought of that moment still brings tears to my eyes because after all of those years thinking this was just not going to happen for me....well, it did. I think I screamed " Is that right??? Is that real??" and then the two of us just sat and hugged and Icried hysterically for probably five minutes straight! Hands down, most amazing moment in my life thus far!
