I knew for a big portion of my adult life that no matter what my career successes would be that the title of Mom would still be the most coveted. I struggled in my 20’s watching my friends become parents and me childless with two miscarriages to show for my efforts. Not a single doctor could figure out why I couldn’t have children. It was truly puzzling. Then in my mid 30’s I decided I had to take this to the next level using the IVF process. I found an amazing doctor at CCRM who treated me as if I was his only patient. It was the most nerve racking, thrilling, and scariest time of my life. The result was my little miracle, Chloe! I am so in love with my little girl and knowing how hard I struggled to get here makes her only that much more precious to me.
I know there are a lot of couples out there like us who are struggling to complete their families. I wanted to share this video my husband made for my baby shower as inspiration that it really can happen. I know when I was going threw this myself I was always searching on the Internet for success stories to boost my confidence in the process. I know this is a very personal video but if by sharing it helps inspire one person to know it can happen than it was worth it.

What a great video!! I made a similar one. It took us two years to have our first son so I'm familiar with the heartache of trying to conceive, but here I sit nursing my second son on my lap as I write this who was conceived by accident, so go figure! I make a video of my kids every year for their birthday. The first video started with my pregnancy pictures and leading up to my son's birth. Now he's turning three and I am starting once again to compile all his videos and pictures from the year and put it all into a video montage that we share every year on his birthday. Its so special. I love doing it and seeing how much he grows thru out the year and will be doing the same thing with our 5 week old.
