It just occurred to me what date today is - November 11th. Three years ago today, I was going in for my second IVF cycle in Seattle, full of so much hope for those two embies that were waiting for me. When that cycle failed, I was devastated - unsure if I would ever be a mother, and completely incapable of seeing how it might one day happen. Looking at my little girl this morning, I am so thankful for those failures. Because if I could go back and change history, getting pregnant on that day, or choose to relive the pain of those failures once more to find my way to her - I would choose her. Every time. I couldnt have made a baby as perfect as she is, and there is no doubt in my mind that she was always meant to be mine. Always. So today, I am thankful for failed IVF cycles. Because without that hurt, I never would have found my way to MY daughter. The little girl borne from my heart, if not from my womb.
