You are not alone
You are not alone in longing to see those two pink lines on a pregnancy test...
You are not alone in dreaming of clever ways to tell your husband and your family that you are expecting a sweet baby...
You are not alone pinning sweet announcement pictures, gender reveal ideas, and even first brithday party themes in hopes that one day you will need them...
You are not alone in wishing that conceiving a child was an intimate affair between you and your partner that doesn't include needles, doctors, tests, and endless heartache...
You are not alone in praying for morning sickness, aches and pains, swollen feet, and an endlessly growing baby bump....
You are not alone feeling pangs of jealousy when you see pregnancy announcements, weekly bump pics, or cute I'm going to be a big brother/sister pictures...
You are not alone while sitting through baby shower after baby shower, a smile on your face but heartache in your heart, hoping and praying that one day you are the one smiling for the cameras opening teeny tiny baby outifts...
You are not alone wandering the baby aisles aimlessly longing for a reason to buy that pink frilly dress or that cute little suit made for a perfect little man...
You are not alone if you buy those baby things you long for and store them in a hope chest or a special place in your house and pull them out when you need some reassurance that it will happen....
You are not alone when you long to feel baby kicks, see baby rolling, and look over at your partner - with more joy that you can ever imagine in both of your eyes - while they feel those same kicks for the very first time...
You are not alone in wanting to hear your sweet baby's heartbeat during an ultrasound, to see that sweet little gummy bear dancing around, to see 3D ultrasound pictures and wonder what your miracle will look like...
You are not alone in desperately wanting to experience the amazingness that is childbirth, bringing a child into this world and knowing that the very second you meet your child for the first time will be incredible and will be like nothing you could even imagine...
You are not alone wanting to soak in the smell of your sweet angel after a bath, when they wake up in the morning, and when you rock them to sleep at night...
You are not alone longing for late night wake ups, early morning wake up calls, midnight diaper changes, and poo explosions...
You are not alone looking forward to the day when you baby rolls over, says mama or dada, takes their first step, or rides a bike for the first time...
You are not alone in wanting more than anything to be called mom or dad. To be able to experience the incredible, unselfish, amazing love that is being a parent. Stay strong - I won't lie - it won't be easy - it's honestly one of the hardest things we've ever endured - but it is all so so worth it and there are so many - 1 in 8 in fact - that are in your shoes. You can do this - you can beat this - and in the end - you will look back and forget every dollar, every visit, every test and every needle because in the end - it is worth every single thing.
