Let me start off but saying this has been a long hard, exhausting, and emotional road. It’s taken us 1.5 years of TTC to FINALLY get here.. 16w2d pregnant naturally after 2 failed IUIs, 1 failed natural round of letrozole, 1 failed natural round of Gonal F and my 2 doctors telling us that I have suspected endometriosis and my husband having low sperm count and motility and saying we’d have a very slim chance of getting pregnant without <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> (which I am still on the government funded wait list for, I’m in Canada and we get one in a lifetime)

I went for my “sneak peak” paid ultrasound appointment today (in which I was paranoid for) as my pregnancy so far as been quite easy and limited for symptoms. I also don’t have much of a bump and showing yet. But I am a first time mom. With that being said, it’s been hard to me to relax and not be anxious and paranoid although all of my appointments have been great. When you want something so bad and it takes a long time to get here it’s harder to enjoy. You are not alone ladies! But with that being said, I’ve always wanted a little girl, a little mini me and that is what I am having! I am feeling so beyond blessed. For anyone thinking what my heart beats we’re of baby.. they were high and the “old wives tale” applied to me. For reference:

We will be announcing to our families in Christmas Day with mugs that say “promoted to ...grandpa, grandma, aunt, uncle” and I will be wearing a shirt that saying “napping for two”

Little lady due June 4,2020 and couldn’t be happier. I hope everyone else gets their Christmas miracles also, dreams do come true! She has/will definitely be worth the wait!!
