“I walked in and there was Aaron, sitting quietly with a 6-pack. ‘He’s only had a couple,’ I told myself. I said a silent prayer.”
“We knew it was going to be our greatest adventure yet, but we had no clue the highs and lows we were about to experience.”
“Our tiny baby had an IV in his foot. Watching a team of nurses poke your baby with a needle is such a helpless feeling.”
“I did catastrophic damage to my bones trying to live a normal life. It’s all I wanted, just to be normal. Soon, I lost the ability to walk.”
“The doctor said, ‘He may go home on oxygen.’ Little did they know the stubbornness I had. The love of a mother determined to get her baby home.”
“Most women have at least 9 months to prepare for a child. I had less than an instant.”
“My twin said, ‘If you needed a kidney, I’d give you a kidney. You just happen to need my uterus.’ This is more than a gift. It’s a dream come true!”
“No one told me I’d have days where I’d cry for no reason at all. I had no idea I’d have to give myself injections in my abdomen. But I knew I was meant to be a mother.”

“We had our boy, we had our girl. We felt complete, but the desire to be pregnant again still lingered.”
