Happy Mother's Day (even if your test was a BFN)

I would also like to say happy Mother's Day to the girls like me. The girls who have taken hundreds of negative tests and sobbed alone in the bathroom. The girls who have cried over a baby that didn't exist yet. The girls who hurt for something that they need in their arms. For someone who feels like it's all out of reach, it will never happen, and you are all alone in this. 

You are not alone. That baby is here with you, even if you do not see it. The very idea of your baby that you will one day hold in your arms whom you already love so much MAKES YOU A MOTHER. The tears you've cried, the sleepless nights, the disappointment in your husbands eyes MAKES YOU A MOTHER. The hurt, the anger, the frustration, doctors appointments all MAKE YOU A MOTHER. You are a mother. You are strong. Continue to push forward. Happy Mother's Day.
