Thanksgiving🍁
Meaningful for so many reasons 💙
9 years ago, on October 12, my dear Beppe passed away (my dads mom). It was a tragedy that my family will never fully recover from. She was only 79 and healthier than most 40 year olds I know. She got a rare form of leukaemia and passed away quickly. I still can’t quite believe that it happened.
Fast forward 8 years to the day, and I headed in for my first FET on October 12. When the procedure was done, my doctor put her hand on my stomach and for the first time throughout my fertility journey, the tears started streaming down my face. I couldn’t stop them from coming. I wasn’t crying - I was calm - but they kept flowing for what felt like 20 minutes. Uncontrollable. It was like I knew, in that moment, that it had worked. We found out a few weeks later that I was pregnant.
I know my Beppe was in the room that day and I know she helped bring us this beautiful baby boy. I just know it. I am filled with gratitude for this little boy.
Thank you for your help, Beps. He is absolutely spectacular xo
