If you’ve read this post, then you know we’ve had quite the journey in our little family. And in the midst of this post, there’s a more current update about what’s been happening. That was from the fall. To be honest, we planned to be done after a failed IVF attempt. It was heartbreaking. And expensive. And so much to ask of my body. But we were contacted by my doctor and offered a very generous opportunity to try for a round two.

Have you seen the movie Up? In case you haven’t seen it, or you have and just need a refresher, let me give a quick recap of how the movie starts. We meet Carl and Ellie, children at the time, and follow their story for a bit. We see them live a whole life together in the first ten minutes of the movie. They dream, they plan, they deal with disappointment and heartbreak. To be honest, it’s a lot. My husband and I both cry over their desire for kids, loss and eventually Ellie’s death.
