Like a Weed
I can’t believe how much Thor has grown. Well…I can believe it. I just can’t wrap my brain around the fact that he is my son. I carried him for 38 weeks and now he is rolling around on my floor like a goon. He has a sense of humour. He loves to cuddle. His eyes get red when he’s tired and needs a nap. He’s a mommy’s boy. And I love him more than life itself.
Did I think 3 1/2 years ago that life would be like this? That my child would be playing on my floor and wanting me to snuggle him? No. I thought it would never happen. I thought I was doomed to be a slave to the fertility tests and drugs until I finally gave up and realized I would never bear children.
And I nearly threw in that proverbial towel. That last clomid cycle that I got pregnant with Thor was my last round. I had had enough. Isn’t amazing how things work out?

Your 2 boys are adorable!! (:
Sometimes, I think we appreciate our babies more because they didn’t come easily for us. I often tear up, thinking about how I never believed Mason would find us.
Thanks Kriss! And I agree…I think we have a special appreciation for our babies that “fertile” people just don’t understand.
I understand completely. I had almost given up too. So much heartache longing for a child that didn’t come for so long. I will never forget what it was like. Now, looking at Abby growing up, it feels like a totally different calendar. It moves so much quicker now!
He is adorable. I know that when I hold my Princess Magpie that it took me five years to get pg with, I hold her a little tighter, I smell her hair, I remind myself how lucky I am to have her.
