I met FlowerBaby .........

and it's an instant reminder for why stick ourselves with needles.. get crazy hormonal. .. and do whatever it takes.. because I saw firsthand today how in the end, it's totally worth it

I just had to post this. I'm in love. Flowerwife, I'm totally stealing her.



I'm officially motivated to start my next IVF cycle tonight. Think Dr.B would mind if I just injected myself with Gonal a few times before my IVF consult next week? Give myself a head start?

Re: I met FlowerBaby .........

well i cant wait to meet the new pennykitten, and of course all future pennycat litters

seriously though, im glad em can remind you why you're here to begin with. its all about the end result, as painful as it is to get there. in the end you will meet your little ones, its only a matter of time before luck goes your way!!

Re: I met FlowerBaby .........

Ahhh this makes me so happy

Re: I met FlowerBaby .........

So true.

I've said it before and I'll say it again- infertility has changed me.

I hope that we can all share in the joys and happiness of babies in the future TOGETHER.

It is so nice seeing the bond of the infertility board and how it really reminds us all of what we are waiting for. I bet flowerbaby is super cute

Re: I met FlowerBaby .........

I'm SO glad to see someone else post this! When 3 of my IF friends had their children w/in 2 days, I went to see all 3 of them. After I left they told me how they were thrilled that I came to visit, but couldn't understand how I managed to do it.
I was in my 2ww @ the time, and actually I went home and tested that night and had a BFP. It didn't work out, but I was totally @ peace visiting them, and it's as you just said---- besides the fact that they're my friends & I love them, it was tangible proof to me that they got their miracles, and that I won't give up til I get mine. One of them had been thru SO much more than I ever had, and it was such a sense of fulfillment to see her holding her little one.... all of them, but knowing what she had already lost, I was in awe.
So glad you got to experience that! It's a truly awakening experience I think, in it's own way.

Re: I met FlowerBaby .........

I love this post.

I truly think that Flowerwife is an inspiration to all of us over here. I wish her, her DH, and Emily all the love in the world.

Re: I met FlowerBaby .........

Awwww. IDK but for me it's totally different going to visit a baby that was so wanted and took so long to conceive. I feel so happy when someoene on here gets a BFP. It's so special, so wanted. Not that I'm not happy for those who dont suffer from IF but hearing one of you girls get your babies really makes my heart happy. We will all get there. There is a saying in Spanish that says "Dios aprieta pero no ahoga" meaning God will squeeze but never choke and I think about that all the time. We will all get there ladies

Re: I met FlowerBaby .........

I love this post too!!
Flowerwife your story is an inspiration to all of us! It reminds us that our dreams will come true.

Re: I met FlowerBaby .........

So glad you posted about this experience!!! Thanks for sharing it and congrats again Flowerwife.

You and PennyCat are both an inspiration!!!

Re: I met FlowerBaby .........

This is so great to hear! It's so amazing how such a little person (flowerbaby) can give so much hope!

A friend of mine didn't have IF issues, but had a rough pregnancy. After her baby was born she said she would go through everything 10 times over b/c that little baby was worth it. It gave me hope that whet I'm going through would be worth it one day.

Re: I met FlowerBaby .........

FlowerBaby has such delicate little girly mannerisms. She's just perfect.

Every time I've had to see a baby or a pregnant belly throughout this whole road, I instantly remembered where I was supposed to be in the baby process and it would make me feel so horrible. This is my first experience ever where I really understood what people meant by seeing other babies as an inspiration.

I drove to work this morning thinking about how I didn't think I had it in me for another round.... and ended the day imagining how I can't wait to get started.

Re: I met FlowerBaby .........

Aw, awesome post! I get so hopeful everytime someone on this board gets a stickt BFP and becomes a mama. Such wonderful inspiration, and I can't wait until we're all having little baby playdates together!

Re: I met FlowerBaby .........

love this post! totally encouraging

Re: I met FlowerBaby .........

I get asked all the time how I can watch 2 kids and go through IF. The woman I work for asked me if it was hard for me since she has what I want so bad but honestly it reminds me of why Im going through all this. Everyday that I come to work and I get a hug, a kiss, yesterday I was on my stomach and who knew a 4yr old and a 2 yr old can give great back rubs. Every time I go and wake the baby from his nap and I just look at his sweet face and I tell myself this is why Im going through this. This is what I want so bad, the spontaneous kisses and unconditional love that these kids give me, I want my own. I want my husband to know what I feel everyday and honestly this is why I will do IVF or whatever it takes for how ever long to get our baby. I will not give up! We will all get our babies and all these women have reminded me everyday that with the support of each other dreams do come true!
