We haven't really talked about it openly, but Hy and I have suffered through infertility for a long time. We have taken a few mental health breaks here and there: I got my degree, Hy switched careers, we took vacations, and expanded our puppy family. About two years ago we made it our main priority again to work on our family. We found a specialist, did endless tests and exams, ultrasounds, and had a few excruciating cyst ruptures ( and their corresponding blackouts).
But here we are! It all started to come together with this beauty:
Something we hadn't ever seen before! That was only the first of a few beautiful signs. Our lives officially changed on July 20th ( which was my due date when I was inside of my own mom) !! Because of the medication I was on, I had to do a test on a certain day which was the 20th. I was hopeful but didn't think it would ever be our turn. But then this happened:
I have never been more excited in my entire life! I ran to the doctor for blood confirmation and to buy more tests at the grocers! Hy was beyond thrilled and his reaction is one of the most special moments of my life.
We got to see our baby at 9 1/2 week and I was petrified that things were going to be okay! Then we saw this and everything became very peaceful:
Everyone in our lives have been so supportive and this has been a really wonderful experience! I first felt the baby move about 16 1/2 weeks and it felt like a little cricket was hopping along in myM belly. We got to find out the sex of our baby at 19 1/2 weeks and I just knew it was a boy. Boy, was i wrong!
Right before our appointment:
Our little baby GIRL Johnson!!
