Words do not really work in times like these.  So much has happened over the past year that it intimidates me to try to capture it all.  There are a million tiny stories wrapped up in the bigger one, but I am ready to start capturing these new moments.  So here we go….4 little words sum it up….

WE HAVE A SON!

I can not express what it means to be able to type these 4 little words.  I reread this blog today and felt the pain, and anguish, and determination of the heart who wrote them all over again.  These 4 little words represent everything we fought so hard for.   They represent joy, hope and life!  They represent the end of one of the darkest chapters of my life and the beginning of a  blazingly bright one. Rereading this blog was painful…yet cathartic.  I just want to go back and hug the woman who wrote these words-that determined version of me- and tell her to hang in there, that wonderful things are on the horizon, that it is all going to be SOOOOO worth it (She would probably want to slap me 😉 ).  I am also so proud of her for having the strength to keep going, because now we get to have the most amazing gift…

WE HAVE A SON!

He is an amazing, determined, curious, loving little 6 month old, and I never imagined I could love something so much!.  We is worth, beyond measure, every day of those long 5 years we fought for him to get here.  I want to write all about his story-from the IVF cycle to his birth, but for now I will end with those 4 little words that have forever changed our life…

We have a son….and we are over the moon with joy.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
