Success after IF

AW: 6 years of PIPs

Today marks 5 years since my first beta with Kira!  I had tested out my booster and had secretly been getting BFPs since that Sunday, but I had to wait until Tuesday for my beta, and that's the day I took a digital and announced it on then-TTTC and to DH as well.  With it being back to the same days of the week now as in 2007, it makes it feel like even longer ago, even though I can't believe it's been that long.  (And that means her birthday will be back on Thanksgiving this year -- I've already bought a turkey dress for her. :))

Even though I'm extremely hesitant to be an AW with this, I suppose I can't stop after 5 years, so just for my SaIF friends who collectively have been here from the start, for the sixth March 13th in a row:

  • You can AW your beautiful girls anytime! 

    I reminded DH on Sunday that I found out I was pregnant with Conor 3/11/08 (it was a Tuesday).  Men don't remember those things. Confused

  • Thank you all once again!  I'm such a dork -- we just got back from the same restaurant DH and I went to 5 years ago tonight.  It was as spontaneous tonight, but definitely quicker as a family of four. ;-)

  • Oh my...how can they be so big already?  I feel like I have watched them grow.  Please do not feel foolish for posting here -- so many of us have been a group since we were on T-TTC together, and we have watched each other's successes and heartbreaks.  A post like this reminds me how far we have come.  What beautiful miracles you have!
