As I look down at the sleeping babe in my arms, I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of happiness and disbelief. A year ago today, we had our first true chance to start our family after nearly a year and half of trying. I was feeling so hopeful and nervous at the same time and trying to stay relaxed. Two weeks later we received our first positive pg test and were overjoyed, as well as cautiously optimistic. And as you know, in September we finally welcomed our lovely Kate Scarlett into this world.
Christmas has a new meaning for me now. It's always been a time for family, and now it's a time that reminds me of how our Kate came to us. It was an incredibly hard journey for us, but we now have this wonderful new person in our lives.
My heart goes out to those couples still waiting to start or to add to their families. Your strength amazes me and we think of you often.
Merry Christmas,
Julie
