What hit me this weekend


I have many moments when I look at my life & I start crying in complete awe because of where I am

This weekend was one of those moments. I was so grateful for my struggle with infertility. 

I went to a baby shower of a friend who had struggled with infertility & like me had always wanted children. I walked the journey with her, cried tears of sadness for her & literally jumped for joy when I found out she was pregnant. 

And what a complete honor to go to her baby shower. 

As I sat there, I realized without the struggle of infertility, I wouldn't be there. I wouldn't have the bond I have with this friend. I certainly wouldn't have my miracle baby. And the hostess of the baby shower is an amazing friend of mine I met because of infertility & her kids have been in Hannah's life since the day she was born & have been her #1 babysitters.  The family has become our family

A family I wouldn't have without the struggle of infertility. I struggle I HATED for years & now I'm so grateful for. 

Where would I be without infertility? I have no idea & to be honest the thought scares me because I can't imagine my life without my daughter, her babysitters & their family & the wonderful people I've met. 

Thank you God. You've given me so much more than I deserve. 

Here is a picture of my miracle baby holding a miracle baby. This picture brings tears to my eyes every single time I see it. 

I am so blessed.
