At the end when surrogacy was in the question I was so excited for you! I had to find out more, so I began my stalker search on google! I am so very very happy for you guys! You deserve it! You'll be the best of parents! <br />I also wanted to share a story, My sister and her fiance have wanted a child for so long that my sister considered everything when the doctors told her she wouldn't be able to carry a child. When they finally gave up hope and stopped trying so hard so they could face reality, she stopped tracking her period and stopped worrying. One day I got a phone call and she was crying and laughing at the same time I asked what was wrong then it went silent for a moment and I heard "I'm pregnant. I'M PREGNANT! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT I'M PREGNANT!! I have waited so long I am the happiest woman alive!" It was probably one of the most exciting moments of my life as a sister, I was so happy for her. She is now 22 weeks pregnant and is having a girl. She is due May 10(: And I couldn't be more excited to meet my niece. Sorry this was so long and information you really didn't need to know, I just felt so overwhelmed with joy! Congratulations you guys(: Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13654427544295373782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361187431293443941.post-581663874720212672014-01-04T19:15:25.657-05:002014-01-04T19:15:25.657-05:00Not crazy at all.

Many of our friends, loved ones and especially our followers are still in the trenches of their baby journey. I did not want it to seem as though we were gloating but more of a defeat and that the path to parenthood is not always easy.

You can imagine the hot mess that has been my state for the past couple of months. Thank you for the BFP love. IF is so incredibly hard. Not sure if I inspire folks but I certainly hope to encourage them to keep swinging while on the way down of any fall. I do not know this from experience yet but I am pretty damn sure that when our miracle does arrive every tear, needle poke and dollar was worth it.
