A year goes by…

A year ago today we nervously, excitedly went to our very first fertility clinic consultation. We started the journey to baby Smiley not knowing how long or short it would take. How expensive it would get. How it would change us, individually and as a couple. 

Now, a year later I sit on the cusp of 19 weeks pregnant. Everyone remarks how quickly it all happened. During the struggle months in the summer I didn’t agree with that, I want it right then. But now, I can’t help but be amazed at how fast time really goes. 

Grateful for a healthy baby. Grateful for my own return to somewhat normal. Grateful for a wife who is the most perfect support system and knows just what I need. 

Looking forward to the next 21 weeks and feeling nugget move, finding out the gender (if baby cooperates) and meeting our baby in August. 

A year in itself seems like a long time but it was definitely worth the wait.
