I took out my blanket today :-)

I just wanted to share this with you ladies, Bc I feel like this is a huge step for me in my emotional journey through IF towards adoption.

During my first 3 year bout of IF, a few months before we started seeing our current RE, I started knitting a baby blanket. I was so hopeful and I knew I was close to finally meeting my baby. I knitted that blanket thru all of my 2wws and not long after I was blessed with my one and only BPF. By the time he was born I was finished (I might just be the slowest knitter in the world! Lol).

So after I had my surgery last year, I just knew it would be the same and I started my baby blanket for #2. As surgery progresses to IF treatments, and as they failed, I worked on my blanket less and less, and in November I put it away for good, half finished.

This week we were accepted to the domestic program at the agency we have been researching and decided that we definitely intend to pursue a domestic adoption. We signed up for an orientation in April and I am so excited!

This morning I woke up, and it occurred to me that I had better get to work on my LO's blanket!

I feel like this is huge emotional progress for me. I couldn't even look at it for months, but now I am just filled with so much hope and excitement for the future again. I'm sure my wait will be lengthy, and that this will be every bit the emotional rollercoaster that IF treatments were, but I know I will meet my LO at the end of this journey. I'll just keep knitting till its time. I'll have the warmest baby ever! LOL

Sorry this turned out so long. I just wanted to share my new found joy with you guys.
