XP - I finally had my little boy!

[jewel]

I'm sure many of you post or lurk on GP, but I just realized that I forgot to post here as well!

I finally had my little boy, 12 days fashionably late.

I will admit, some (sleepless) nights, I get lost in the miracle of it all. I know it's partially the hormones, partially the extreme lack of sleep, but the thoughts of what it took to get to this point bring me to tears. I look at the first picture we have of him before the embryo transfer, and he was only a funny-looking clump of cells. Now, he's the most perfect little boy, sleeping in my arms (OMG, there's something in my eye!). I'm amazed with the technology we have available now, but I'm mostly amazed with actual process of creating a human.

I am so thankful for all of the help of the REs, the support of this board, and for the journey. Although I'd love to give back all of the struggles, I can't help but feel like I have a greater sense of appreciation for where we've ended up. It's been a rough road, for a number of reasons, but I'd do it 1000 times over again.

And enough of my sappiness (which, I swear, never happened before I birthed a child).

It's totally true, lol. Pregnant, I had a few incidents of rage (completely justified, IMO), but otherwise felt normal.

Now....oh man.
