Well hello there!
Was my last post really my 20 weeks update?!? I've officially earned the title of worst blogger ever. What a crazy 7 months it has been, let me tell you!
I've been trying to get an update up for ages but life has just been crazy!! More on that later...
On February 28, 2014 we welcomed our beautiful daughter Kadence Lillian into the world. She was 7lbs13oz and absolutely perfect in every way! I was 40 weeks and 3 days with absolutely no signs of her coming out on her own, so we went for the induction which is pretty common for IVF babies that go past 40 weeks. Labor was quite scary actually, I'd like to say that it was a smooth delivery, but it wasn't. We had a very close call, but I was able to deliver vaginally still so that was good. I still plan on doing a labor and delivery post, hopefully I will have more time soon. But she is just over 3 months old, and doing well. She's had some reflux issues and colic, but overall she's a very happy and healthy little girl. She's truly a miracle in every way!!
So onto other news...Travis got his dream job right at the end of my pregnancy and has been commuting 4+ hours every day pretty much since Kadence was born. Not to mention he was gone completely for 2 weeks in CA for training. Luckily, we have now sold our house, and found one closer to his job, and will be moving in just over a week. Crazy, crazy!!
I cannot believe how much my life has changed in just one year. It was June 10th last year that Dr. Surrey transferred one beautiful embryo into me, and now one year later here we are. I am so grateful for all of our struggles because I know if it wasn't for my infertility I wouldn't have Kadence, and I just can't imagine living without her. She is my whole world and I know everything happened for a reason, she was meant to come into our lives this way.
It's hard to see the big picture sometimes, especially in our darkest hours. I just want to send a huge virtual hug to anyone struggling to conceive, please don't give up hope. Even miracles take a little time!
XOXO
