Today is a bittersweet day for me. December 11 would have been my due date had our last invitro procedure worked. Its just another day on the calendar now for us.
Its weird to think about what might have been had those 3 precious embryos taken and grown into beautiful babies. I still think about our embryos. All of them. Those we transferred the first time and the ones we did the second time. We are blessed to have pictures of both sets. Two the first time and 3 the second time. The pictures were hanging on the fridge and we looked at them every morning. We were blessed to get pictures of them. In my mind and heart they were living beings. Eventhough they never got to see what its like here on earth, I will still think of them. Our little embabies as we called them.
God has a plan for our lives and it is different then we had expected, but we are thrilled and excited. People make plans and God laughs. His plan is much bigger for us.
I began this blog while we were waiting to adopt our first child. It started with a 6 year battle with infertility and resulted in an amazing roller coaster ride to parenthood. We are the parents of two little blue-eyed rambunctious boys thanks to the incredible gift of adoption. This blog continues to be a journey through parenthood and open adoption. It has it's share of ups and downs. I'm happy to be enjoying it with God and my husband of 15 years. We hope you find joy in our journey.
