There was a time when we thought biological parenthood was going to be something we would not get to experience. Not for lack of trying, but due to some complications. At the time, the only option we were aware of was adoption...and we were somewhat accepting of that option. But the thought left us feeling incomplete.
A little research led us to the reproductive endocrinology clinic at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. We scheduled an appointment, and found out there was an option for employees to get assistance. Jackpot! We were anxious to sign up.
A long process ensued... a journey including many appointments, a barrage of shots, a retrieval procedure, and a "transplant" procedure. Then anxious waiting and hand wringing, culminating in the conception of our first son. Once he neared his second birthday, we decided we'd try again... and were successful in the conception of our second son. They are 27 months apart in age.
Elation is truly an understatement. I honestly feel like I am walking on clouds every.single.day.
I don't just believe in miracles blindly, I have physical evidence they exist. I get to watch two of the most amazing miracles grow and explore their world. Any amount of time I spend with them is cherished... and I love being their playmate. They are literally the best things that have ever happened to me. For them, I thank God every single day.
