When I started this blog with this post, I had no idea where it would go or the path we would take. I had always hoped it would lead to this miracle, but in reality I knew that may not be the outcome.
Hubs and I are a rare case.
We moved right from infertility testing to a major medical procedure without having to endure failed procedures in between.
We have insurance that covered a huge portion of our medical costs.
We had one medical intervention to "treat" our infertility.
We got pregnant after only one IVF procedure.
We brought a healthy baby boy into this world after a very easy nine months and a very fast and uncomplicated delivery.
We are beyond blessed and lucky and we have not taken one second of those blessings for granted.
Yes, I am feeling sappy and emotional today. Yes, I am staring at my son (my son, people...never thought I'd get to say those words) as I type this while he sleeps next to me. Yes, I still marvel at his perfection and feel immense joy every time he opens those eyes and looks at me.
I am a mother and there is no greater honor in this world.

My plans for this blog will evolve as our family does. I still want to provide updates on Liam and Max. I would like to write about motherhood and its highs and lows and the in between daily happenings. I want to do some product reviews of what we have found helpful during these first few weeks and upcoming months. I want to talk about food and new recipes and summer get togethers.
Those are the plans. Who the hell knows what will happen as I navigate this crazy parenthood thing. I want to continue writing. It's a great outlet for me.
Thank you to all of you who have traveled on the getting pregnant, staying pregnant, and becoming a family of four roads with us. Your support means so much to me.
I may not blog as often as before, but I am still reading blogs during 3 am feedings and will continue to write as often as I can.
And because I just can't resist showing him off...
Hope everyone has a fantastic Memorial Day weekend and that your weather is better than ours (it's cold, rainy, and crappy here).
