Success after IF

One Year Ago Today (PIP)

One year ago on this day, July 29, at this time, 8:38 am, my life was given new meaning.  I am not just TJ, I am not just wife.  I am mom.  The past year has been full of with tears (both happy and sad), fears (both real and imagined), and cheers (both her and us).  It has been filled with laughing, rolling, crawling, walking, and running.  I thank God every day for this miracle that has made my life complete.  And I continue to pray for my IF sisters who so long to be where I am today.  Here is the link to her birth story on PAIF if you are interested.  And now without further ado, what a difference a year makes.
