Hope

At times I still can’t believe this is real. And then I look down.

If you had told me a year ago that I’d be pregnant today, I would have called you crazy. One year ago, I was recovering from surgery that diagnosed my stage 4 endometriosis. For over a year, I went through a string of pessimistic, unhelpful infertility doctors who gave me anything but hope. All they gave me was the runaround. I wanted a baby so badly, I made it my full time job and mission to make it happen. And eventually it did happen. I persevered and went on to find the most wonderful doctor and clinic in the universe. I didn’t give up hope.

It just goes to show that if you really want something badly enough, and if it is humanly possible, you can achieve it. It could take you longer than it might for other people to get there, but your journey is your journey. Yes, you will resent the people who seemingly get whatever they want at the blink of an eye. But sometimes, if you have to struggle to get that thing you really really desire, you might even learn something about yourself. I sure did.
