As Charles and I sat waiting in the lab last week {I had to drop off my lovely 24 hour urine sample, different story}, we were sitting directly across another couple. She had already had blood work done and he was waiting on his turn. They were obviously together...
As I sat there, my heart ached though. I just had a feeling they were there for infertility related reasons. Nothing was said between them and us yet I felt the need to try to hide my belly. As they were leaving, she made a comment about needing to go make a follow up appointment and I watched as they walked into Dr. Ahlering's {Reproductive Endocrinologist that I actually saw for a short time if you recall} office directly across from the lab we were sitting in.
At that exact moment, I wanted to run to them and tell them our story. I was not just another "fertile myrtle" that gets knocked up the first time trying or heck, on accident. No. I remember the heartache and have a journey behind our miracle baby. It was then that I wish all women and babies born after infertility struggles had like a universal sign... Only a sign that other infertiles would recognize in the hopes of lessening the pain by giving hope that miracles still happen.
I hate the thought that our baby will bring sadness to couples still waiting for their miracle. I hope though that for those that know our story do not find sadness but remain hopeful that indeed miracles happen...
