July 2nd will always be an extremely special date in my mind. One year ago today we were finally celebrating the news of a successful pregnancy test. The morning was pure torture. I'd been feeling pretty confidant that IVF had been a success, but then the morning of the blood test I woke up spotting. It was just gut wrenching. I didn't even want to go in for the blood test because I'd convinced myself the results would be too much to bear. But off we went and then it was back home to just wait for the phone to ring. We waited and waited and then finally during lunch time the phone rang and it was the best news anyone could have ever told me!
Here I sit a year later with a beautiful little boy. His conception was a miracle, not to mention his fight to survive during his first week of life and now he brings me joy each and every day. I know that as long as I'm alive, each July 2nd will bring back memories of such gratitude and elation.
The difference a year makes....

Wow, how amazing - from that little cell looking blob to a beautiful baby boy!!! xx, Mindy
I'm pretty sure I boo-hooed more out of shear happiness for you and Mat that afternoon than I did when my own tests came back positive! I feel so blessed that I got to watch the miracle of young Mathew unfold! He's a lucky little boy to have you, and I think you're even luckier to have him, he's an angel! I think his smile could sucker just about anyone. :) XO, Nancy
Yes, what a difference. He is SO much cuter now!!!
