Today marks the one-year celebration of the first time I had to give myself an injection for our IVF treatment. It was a day of SO much emotion, so much suspense, and of course, so much hope. I remember giving myself the pep talk about the injections -- This is nothing compared to what labor will be like (and I kinda called that one). It got easier each time, especially as I found others in the blog world who were going through the same thing as I was at the same time.
I would do every single thing again, multiple times, if it meant I got to find my way to Charlotte. This girl is my own living, beating heart, outside of my body. I am so thankful to the team at IHR here in Chicago for all of their kindness, support, and knowledge. The team at IHR helped Porch and I start our little family and we could never fully express the gratitude we have for that gift.
I am still thinking of those who are in the midst of their journey to parenthood, those who have decided to live child-free, and those who have made it to the other side with their (rainbow) babies. Each of our stories are so different, so unique, but we all came together for a moment of time and I am so thankful for the support I have found in the blog world.
I am hopeful that someday Charlotte will have a sibling from our IVF cycle, but I am also so thankful just for the love I have found as her momma.
