I can't help but reflect on how this Christmas is so different from any other. Sure, I'm more exhausted than I've ever been and I missed most of my dinner tonight because I was busy feeding the girls, but I wouldn't change it for the world.
I got the best presents of all this year and my heart is so full of love for my little girls. Merry Christmas to everyone. Hoping you have a great Christmas.
My name is Liz, I'm 31 and I live in NY. My husband, W, is 33. We are raising twin girls after 2 1/2 years of fertility treatments.
Our journey to get the girls included:
2 Reproductive Endocrinologists,
1 Reproductive Immunologist,
5 Fresh IVF cycles,
4 FET cycles,
3 miscarriages,
2 laparoscopic surgeries,
2 IUI's.
I have some blood clotting issues, PCOS, one fallopian tube, and my husband and I have 6 HLA matches.
So incredibly true, and it only gets better!

ReplyDeleteIt truly is amazing to realize where we are at now with our babies, that it is our new reality. What incredible gifts we've been given.
ReplyDeleteMother is always mother. Neglect thing for her kids. I also sometimes got exhausted but time passed quickly and they grew up :)
