Told our parents

schmoodleschmoodle member
in Success after IF

Mine both cried. I tried to manage expectations as much as possible as I know being pregnant does not equal having a baby. I know normal people wait until a heartbeat or 12 weeks, whatever, but I don't trust any time as safe and I know everyone has been waiting with baited breath since we kept this cycle a secret.

 Other than parents I just put it on the blog to let people discover at their leisure. And there won't be any official announcement this time to less close friends or family, if they hear it through the grapevine great, if not, imagine their surprise if they get a birth announcement! Haha.

2 days down, many, many more to go!

    That must have been SO nice to be able to tell them! I love that they cried!

    I have a good friend who lost twins at 20.5 weeks and she's now 31 weeks happily and healthily pregnant with a baby girl. (all after IF).

    One loss doesn't have to equal more! 

    I'm SOOOO happy for you!!! 

    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!
