View Full Version : Marathon, not a sprint

I just wanted to share a quick story about perseverance, & a miracle.

My co-worker has been confiding in me over the past 4-5 years of their struggles with recurrent early miscarriages (6 total). Just last week they gave birth to a perfectly healthy little boy, carried to full term! This pregnancy was lucky number 7.

Just holding that little infant in my arms gave me so much peace. It was definitely not one of those "I'm so jealous moments", but rather "I'm soooo happy for you guys!" true, I was jealous a bit, but mostly I felt that they sooo deserve it and knew that they really understand how precious he is and how much they worked for him.

It was a nice change from most of my friends/family who haven't struggled with IF, and have NO IDEA what we're all going through. Have a great weekend, lots of BD'ing! Who cares whether its that time of the month or not, let's just celebrate our love!

That's a great story. I think we all need to hear more of those encouraging stories. I understand your lack of jealousy when someone who has struggled so much finally gives birth. I've been there too and it really is a feeling of hope for yourself and happiness for them. Thanks for the encouragement.
