26 Weeks & Counting...

It's amazing how this...


Turns into this...

<3

We cannot even begin to describe how we're feeling with it being about 3 months away until this little boys' arrival! We're so eager to welcome him into our lives and start our little family! These past 26 weeks have flown by so fast it's unreal. It just goes to show he'll be here sooner than you know it!

To have to go through infertility treatments, your mind is made up that it's never going to happen. We went through such an emotional rollercoaster. Will it? Won't it? When? Why? It's difficult to stay 100% positive when you go through something like this. The most frustrating thing for us was the fact that we, as a couple, were classified as having an "unidentified infertility". Meaning, there was nothing wrong with either of us. Just... nothing. All we could ask ourselves is 'then why isn't this happening?' It was just a matter of waiting... and waiting... and waiting. Then one day you hear a voice say 'it's positive' and you're so taken back by it that you don't even believe it at first. But then it sinks in. I remember pacing back and forth, up and down our hallway for what seemed like 10 hours until my hubby got home from work! I couldn't sit still! He finally got home, I told him and we hugged and held on tight for what felt like an hour! I will always remember that moment.

One will never truly understand how it is to have this little being inside of you growing and to encounter all of these changes and feelings. My husband & I instantly fell in love with our little boy since the first sonogram when he was just a teeny tiny speck. Seeing him change from a speck into a tiny human and feeling him kicking and punching just makes it real.

I can honestly say we have never been more ready for anything in our lives. And we both thank God for giving us this chance.
