I am so incredible thankful for that phone call today. Up until this point, we didn’t even know if creating a “normal baby” was possible. 5 miscarriages, 4 failed IUIs, 3 rounds of IVF, 2 sent embryos... and one golden egg! Today, I feel a little less broken. ❤️ #ivf #ivfjourney #ivfsupport #ivfcommunity #ivfsisters #ivfwarrior #ivfgotthis #ivfstrong #iui #miscarriage #infertility #ttccommunity #ttc #miracles #faith #godisgood #pray #prayer #faith #hope #iamblessed #ihavefaith #lotsoffaith

So today was my 1st appointment with my OB who I love, what doctor gives you a bear hug the minute she sees you She was an IVF patient herself so the sense of understanding she has of the tough journey to get here is amazing. What a great feeling to “graduate” from the fertility clinic! Everything is looking good for this little Halloween baby boy 8 weeks 5 days . #frozenembryotransfer #frozenembryo #fet #ivfjourney #ivfsupport #ivftransfer #ivftransferprep #ivftransferday #day5blastocyst #ttccommunity #ttc #ttcjourney #positivevibes #positivequotes #ttcaftermiscarriage #ttcsupport #ivfcommunity #ivfjourney #ivficsi #ivfwarrior #ivfwarriors #ivfwaitinggame #embryotransfer #embryo #hope #positivevibes #positive #positivethinking#bfp #pgstesting #pgstesting #fetalheartbeat #obgyn

A single pink line. How can a line be full of such pain? Each month when it was time to test was just dreadful, already knowing what it was going to say, instinctively preparing my heart for the disappointment. Taking pregnancy tests while struggling with infertility creates for some of the most anticlimactic moments of your life. Its as if you know you’re supposed to be excited, but the single pink lines from your past haunt you into believing you will never see anything more. How do we come back from that? It wasn’t until I took a break from TTC and I allowed my wounds to heal, that I truly realized the scars that they have left behind. Thinking of the days not far ahead where we’ll begin on part 2 of our journey, I imagine what it will be like to face one of those tests again. I’ll be honest- it isn’t a moment I am excited for. And you know what, I HATE that. I hate that infertility has ROBBED me from the joy of this experience, that I’m terrified to be TOO hopeful because all I have been in the past is let down. So, it’s time to face the scars. I know that opening a door to a new chapter, means that I must close the door to the past. It means that I have to pull these skeletons out of my closet (well, really from under my bathroom sink) and look them straight in the face and BOLDY PROCLAIM that they have NO power over me anymore. That these single pink lines, even though they will always be apart of my story, they have a new meaning today and tomorrow. That I must no longer look at these single pink lines as shackles & defeat, but as opportunities where God can reveal himself. And well, that’s just what I did. I have bags & bags of these silly sticks under my sink. I could throw them out, start fresh and try to completely rid myself of what my past has put me through. But I felt as though my heart will never be able to really escape how the negatives have made me feel. So here I sit, taking CHARGE of my own journey & personally changing these negatives into something positive so I can move on without fear. Reminding myself that my hope lies in a God who is ABLE. And for every step that is ahead, no matter ONE line or TWO- He meets me right where I am.

Oh the joy of #infertilityquestions. It’s hard to keep in mind that most people don’t mean to come off rude, but the questions can still be so hurtful to hear. @sheilaalexanderart brings some big emotions to life in her graphic novel IF: A Memoir of Infertility. Head on over to our blog to find out more about her journey!

How can it possibly be April already? Where in the world has the time gone and how is it even possible that I have almost two 5 month old babies?!? I wish I could freeze or at least slow down time just a smidge. I was taken off work mid September and unfortunately am scheduled to return back to the real world .....the work world a week from today. How in the world do you mommies do it? I get anxiety just thinking about it. I’m doing my best to soak in every single teeny tiny moment I can with my girls. My husband was right, no time will ever be enough. However, I was able to stay at home with my baby girls for almost 5 months. Some new mommies don’t even get that. It was fun pretending that stay at home mommy role. Short lived for sure, but beyond grateful I have an employer that allowed me 1/2 pay parental leave for 12 weeks and a husband that supported the decision to do so. Watching my girls grow, develop and discover before my very eyes has been one of the best experiences and privileges of my life. Being able to witness some of their firsts and be smack dab right beside them 24-7 were the highlights of my days. Most good things come to an end and sadly that’s how the darn cookie crumbles. So, rather than be down and depressed about what I will be leaving behind, I’m going to choose to be grateful, thankful and blessed for the time I did have and the life I never thought I would as a mommy. Wide eyes and big smiles that are happy to see me is what I am hoping to come home to after a long day of work. Now, Please excuse me while I reminisce in tears of joy on these past 7 months.❤️❤️❤️ #allgoodthingscometoanend#proudmommy#maternityleaveisover#adventuresoflunaroseandmilaskye#jaimetwins#myheart#myworld#myeverything#ivftwins#rainbowafterthestorm#ivfmiracle#infertilityawareness#infertilitysupport#ivfsuccess#ivfcommunity#twinmomlife#momoftwins#miraclesfromheaven#onababybugmission

Our sweet boy Stone Hollis Stewart arrived March 28, 2019 at 2:08 pm, 4lbs 3 oz. After 36 hours of trying for labor and at 36 weeks old, he was delivered C-section! He is the cutest little peanut and has filled our hearts with such an unbelievable amount of love already. He has some growing and catching up to do and won’t be coming home for awhile..but is doing awesome! The past 7 days have been filled with so many unexpected things. We didn’t know we would be having a baby so soon, didn’t know what to expect, didn’t know really anything except that a baby was coming, ready or not. What I do know now...we have the most tremendous support and love from our family and friends, that labor and delivery nurses (including via text from my cousin in Denver) are the hardest working people I know, and that the NICU is filled with the most love I have ever felt. Luke and I are grateful for the journey we started one year ago, for today and for the next thousands of tomorrows.

So much pain. ⁣ So very tired. ⁣ Yet so incredibly happy. ❤️⁣ ⁣ As hard as post-surgical / NICU life is,⁣ I gotta give it up to the incredible nurses that help ease your concerns and take such amazing care of your babies. Taking that stress off of a parent who is also healing is an incredible gift. #jackwrandall #3daysold
