I was thankful for lucky number seven. Seven eggs. That became six embryos. That became three transferred embryos. That became two fetuses. That became two fragile premature neonates. That are now two thriving infants.
We are blessed, and grateful.
But here, in this place, I must admit that while this day brought us all we could desire and more, it also is a reminder of all we went through to get here. I went back and read the next few posts that followed that day. And I was struck by the outpouring of love and support I received. And of all the women who were going through the same emotions. Of all my cyclesistas from that month, I think I was the only positive outcome. And that makes me sad, especially since many of those same women are still struggling and hoping.
Thank you to all of you for giving me this place to feel safe and supported, and most importantly validated. I hope I was able to give the same to some of you. And some day, when I have a little more time, I hope to do it again. Thank you just doesn't quite seem like enough, but for now, it will have to do.

I remember that time so well, and for now I am so lucky to be at 20 weeks. You were so very supportive to me and I so appreciated it all.
Oh, I LOVE looking back, especially on years like yours.
You're probably very grateful for the changes that have happened since then, and also grateful that you lived through all that upheaval!
Smile.
Your link is broke, but I bet they're just beautiful,
