Lucky, lucky, lucky

Each day that passes is another opportunity for me to realize how unbelievably lucky I am. I am lucky to have the family I do, to have the parents I was graced with, to have good friends, to have a life where I am not wanting for much and most of all to get to be these precious girls Mom. When I take the girls to a store or to the doctors office and people comment on how beautiful they are and how lucky I am I just want to tell them, 'you have no idea.'

I wish there was some sort of button I could wear that tells people "I survived Infertility and yes, I am one of the lucky ones." I would for a couple reason. 1) So if I come across an IF woman she knows I am not just part of the fertile masses. 2) So the world knows what I had to go through to get these babies. 3) To remind woman who are less appreciative of their own children how truly lucky they are. Having kids is a blessing that not everyone gets and I thank God each and every day for my double blessing!

When those little girls look up at me in the morning and smile because I AM THEIR MOM I could cry each time. Nothing in life could ever replace that. No amount of money, success, fame, whatever could feel as good as that smile.
