This is the story of our journey to conceive, documented for our future babies so they can know the love that we have for them before they ever existed. I will use it as my journal, to document my personal experiences and the emotional roller coaster of overcoming infertility. I always knew I wanted to be a Mom, but never imagined how hard the process could be. At 26 my biological clock is at it's prime and my internal Mommy clock is on overdrive. Baby fervor is an understatement. My calling in life is to be a Mom, and every month that I pee on a stick and see the negative sign my heart hurts a little more. This type of pain is the worst, nothing people say makes it better, and it feels as if no one can understand unless they have experienced it first hand. I'm not complaining, each person's path is different, but sometimes I just want someone to cry with me and acknowledge the struggle, rather than tell me it will be fine. My family and most of my friends have been very supportive, but sometimes words aren't enough. People so easily assume so much, I've been told by multiple people, including those who don't know us or our medical history,"to stop stressing" and "just relax". The honest truth is this situation has not negatively affected my relationship with my husband, thank you God! If anything it's brought us closer and taught us how to handle each others emotions. I am so blessed to have him and his support through this process.
So the big news of the day is... we just left the doctor's office with a stack full of papers on medical prescriptions (that's a whole nother topic) and a plan for In Vetro Fertilization (IVF). This is huge, and it's our very first solid step to you!!! I'm so excited and hopeful!
Baby Franco is a twinkle in our eyes! Lots more to come!

OMG Sophia I think you are in the wrong field. You should definitely be a writer. I just had chills all over my body and got a little teary eyed reading what you are going through. You are right, I could never imagine what it would be like to not be able to have children and I want to appologize if Ive ever made lite of your situation. I want to understand and cry with you. I love you soo much and Im soo excited for you and Tyson. Im glad you are allowing me to accompany you guys during this next chapter in your lives. Im thrilled to know that there are people out there that want children soo much and I know with out a doubt that God is going to Bless your socks off. He knows the desires of your heart and he is walking this path right there next to you.Everything happens for a reason. Nothing is a shock to God and He will continue the good work that he started in your lives.

ReplyDeleteCrystal - your words were incredible (total tear jerker), you should be the writer! Our friendship is such a huge blessing in my life, you have always been so inspiring to me and there was never a moment that I didn't feel your love and support. There have been so many times I've been down and you have lifted my spirit up, even thousands of miles away. I have been trying to think of the words to say back to you, but nothing is enough.
ReplyDeleteJust know that I love you and you are an amazing women/friend and one day you will be an amazing Mommy too! I can't wait for our babies to meet in the womb and be just like us! Thank you for sharing in this new chapter and for ALWAYS being an ear to hear (Wish it was a shoulder to lean on, but Texas is just too far away!)
Sophia- Thank you so much for sharing the most beautiful and important parts of your lives with us. However long or short the journey may be, you will get to Baby Franco! I'm honored to have the opportunity to accompany you and Tyson on your path to parenthood. Know I'm here for you both!
