Success after IF

Today was my due date:(

I've been dreading this day all month but I'm doing better than I expected. I cried a lot this week. I had my first OB appointment yesterday and as they were going over my history the nurse messed up and said I had 2 full term healthy babies. I burst into tears as I corrected her. When my OB walked in the room I started crying again! The good news is the baby looks great he/she was wiggling and kicking so much it was hard to get a measurement. I declined any genetic testing this time. I can't put myself through that again. Today we are at our cottage and I think it's a good thing that we aren't at home because I'd probably be more upset. I miss my sweet boy every single day and I hope and pray that he knows how much he is loved.
