Success after IF

My birth video!!!!

I was so fortunate to have my mom film my labor and then immediately after Brighton was born (couldn't have a video cam in during delivery).

And finally today I was able to edit a short 3.5 minute video of it and I am SOOO glad I have this!!!! I was getting so choked up just making it!!

So I just had to share.

WARNING I look like a moose :) 

Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

  • so beautiful!! thanks for sharing.
  • How beautiful, your videos always make me cry. 

    What a deserving family, I always followed you in the TTTC board and was so sad everytime you had a setback.  It's so great to see how far you have come. 

    Congratulations....btw you look beautiful!!!!

  • Okay, now don't laugh... I saw the VIDEO not the slide show!  It was so beautiful.  Your husband looks like a total goof all sweet and cute and I cried when you get the first view of Brighton.  Boy, it looked painful though.  Too bad she couldn't have video taped the whole thing.

  • Bawling....

    The part where you are holding him and then put your head down on his was prescious.

    I barely remember that moment now.... holding Dylan for the first time, looking at him, checking every inch of him out, falling in love in a way I'd never dreamed possible.

    I'm so so happy you have this captured like this.

    Congrats again on Brighton!

    And... you look like an amazing Mother giving birth to a piece of her own soul.  Nothing is more beautiful!

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
  • That was beautiful! Congrats again!
  • So powerful. I'm not much of a crier and I started tearing up at the shots of you right after Brighton was born. Amazing.
  • you are so talented. we all aspire to be you!!!!
  • Crying   Just beautiful.

  • It is SO awesome that you have that to remember it by.  What an awesome thing to be able to watch.  I was in tears watching it.  I knew that having a baby would change my life and I was ready for it but I don't think anyone can ever explain to you how much you will love your child.  It's truly amazing.  It's funny because in the last few weeks of my pregnancy, I was so uncomfortable and so exhausted and I was scared that I would never want to be pregnant again.. now.. I can't wait to do it all over again.

  • What a beautiful video and you look beautiful
  • I should have known better to NOT look at your video.  All your videos have tugged at my heartstrings, but I am a complete and total blubbering mess now.  DH is going to come home any minute and find me bawling on the couch and think something is wrong.  :::lanie tries to get it together:::

    That was SO amazing to watch!!!  Thank you for sharing.

  • That was amazing. Each time you post about his birth I am a little closer to having mine and it just makes me more excited. And by the way you do look beautiful. Its great that you will have this for years to come. So happy for you and Joey.
