If you know or don't know, we've been actively trying for 6 Long Years. You can never imagine the heartache infertility causes unless you've been there & walked this walk. It is overwhelming & devastating. So many people take for granted being able to get pregnant easily, without even thinking about it usually. When you've struggled with IF, getting pregnant is truly the greatest miracle in the world.
We've been given one of the greatest miracles in this world & of our lives! We are expecting our first child. On January 7th, 2012 I took a test, never expecting to see 2 pink lines. I shook for 30 minutes straight because I couldn't believe it. Back Info: My cycles have ALWAYS been messed up. I normally go 2-3+ months without a period. I have had more false pregnancies than most people have actual pregnancies. I'm use to the symptoms, I use to seeing negative tests. I say I'm use to seeing negative results but you never get use to it. It hurts every single time. So, when I tested on Saturday, I expected to see 1 line telling me it was all in my head. But I didn't & it wasn't. My symptoms were REAL! I was PREGNANT! I'm getting emotional as I write this because I still can't believe it. I AM PREGNANT!!! I never thought I would be able to say that.
In August 2012 there will be a new addition to the Cosgrave Family. Our first child. A new grandchild for our parents, possibly the first granddaughter for Mike's parents. A new great grandchild for our grandparents! Either the first great granddaughter for Mike's grandparents OR the first great grandson for my grandma. We do not have a preference & that's the honest truth. We know whatever God gives us we are meant to have. Son or Daughter, we will finally be parents!
