Their story

 

Here’s my story. It’s going to be cut short and sweet. (Hopefully)

My idea of becoming a young mom was ideally at 23. This is what I wanted to happen and believed it would. But it didn’t, I went through 6 years of infertility. I cried passing by water parks, going to baby showers, hearing about positive pregnancy tests, people avoiding sharing their happiness to me, going to parties and getting asked about children etc. I saw and heard it all. And trust me it goes on and on. But what I wanted to say was, “ It just hasn’t f*cking happened”. Because every damn second I was thinking about it non stop. 

Eventually my situation changed. I was happily married and infertility wasn’t there anymore and BAM I was pregnant with my son Grady. It was an absolute emotional and unexplainable happy experience. So next step was to add a sibling. But no! I was going into early menopause at 32. So now I can’t have a child of my own AGAIN! (What the f*ck, seriously?) So my only viable option was either egg adoption or embryo for our situation. And I absolutely loved pregnancy and breastfeeding so I knew those were our best options. Especially since I can still carry a baby, but just can’t make my own. I have literally gone through infertility almost my entire adulthood. I am ready to have our last babe for Grady to have a full time sibling and complete our family.

Lost our baby girl

At what would be our gender ultrasound we found out our baby girl had no heartbeat. The following day we went in to be induced and delivered Cambria Hope on 11/3.
