Reflecting on how much can change in a year ...

I've been thinking all day about how down I was last Mother's Day and how happy I am now. ?

Last year, I had been TTCAL for 7 months and was losing hope. ?It felt like everyone I knew was getting PG and having babies. ?And at Mother's Day brunch my sister announced that she was pregnant with her third baby. ?I must have cried 10 times that day (though luckily not in front of my sister).

Three days later, I got my BFP. ?And I was blessed with an easy pregnancy, and it was so fun to be pregnant at the same time as my sister. ?The last three months since Matthew arrived have been the most amazing time of my life. ?Tonight, as I read him a story and rocked him to sleep, I kept tearing up - I'm just so thankful for him.

I truly believe that the silver lining in all of us having to suffer the pain of a miscarriage is that it makes us so thankful for our beautiful babies. ?Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!! ?We are all very blessed.?

What a sweet post! I know exactly how you feel. I miscarried on Mother's Day weekend 2 years ago, and I couldn't stop thinking about that today, and how lucky and grateful I am for my little Aidan Jake.
