IVF Results
We’re pregnant! Our IVF was a success. We are a little over 8 weeks, which may be a little daring to reveal since some say it’s too early, but we feel really good about this. I was MIA for about a month on social media because I didn’t want people to ask what were my IVF results, so my apologies for leaving you out of the loop.
I never thought in a million years I would be able to post an announcement photo. Going through social media and seeing all my friends and family post their announcements made my feelings feel like it was on a roller coaster. I was bitter by the fact that it was so easy for them, but my heart was happy because they were going to receive a blessing and it was also another person I get to love.
On the other hand, if my husband and I were able to get pregnant, I thought of a million ways on how I would announce it. I looked on Pinterest and thought about putting the sonogram inside a heart, made by injection needles since we created our baby via IVF. That one was creative. The other idea was having Peanut pose with the sonogram. That one was my favorite. I think we’re still going to do that when Peanut shares the news on her instagram that she will be a big sister. Side note - peanut.the.poodlette has over 23k followers.
I wanted to tell my family first before they found out on social media so I planned this dinner at my place. Due to last minute party planning, only about half of my cousins were able to attend. The other half already had plans, which was totally understandable. We ate, we laughed, we caught up. We shared the news. I can tell everyone was really happy for us! My nieces and nephews gave me random hugs throughout the day, which of course made me already feel like a mom. I felt loved. At the end of the party, we took a group picture. My cousin brought over the sonogram and we all took our last picture with it. I looked at it and instantly thought this was perfect. Everyone in this picture is someone I love so deeply and knowing I was going to bring someone into this world is already loved by all these people is such a blessing.
Baby Mac, this is your mom here. I’m so excited that God blessed us with you. Just wanted to tell you that I will love you unconditionally. I will support you in every decision you make and your papa and I will make sure you have an amazing life full of fun and adventure.
My husband and I already know the gender. Can’t wait to throw our gender reveal for all my cousins so they can get all their hand me downs ready! Lol!
So which burp bib will I be using? Stay tuned!
