The Most Bittersweet Day of My Life....

Jackie2200Jackie2200 member
in Pregnant after IF

Today is my V-Day.  I'm 24 weeks exactly.  I am so thankful to have reached this milestone and I feel so lucky to be at this point but today is also a year since my twins were born and lost. 

I have to imagine that there is some sort of coincidence or higher reason as to why V-Day and the boys' birthday coincided on the same day but I can't even begin to explain it.  

All I know is that I am crying tears of both joy and sorrow. 

Please send T&Ps for my little boys and my little one baking.  I coldn't have made it through IF, loss and this far in this subsequent pregnancy without all your thoughts, well-wishes and support.

    Lots of hugs and T & Ps sweetie.  I have to imagine it is very bittersweet day, my beta is scheduled the same day as the twins birthday but I am so happy you have made it to 24 weeks with no problems.  I hope you keep baby cooking for a long time to come.

    Did you find out what you are having?  I am thinking of you and thank you for being such an inspiration to me.
