When you have been trying to conceive for as long as we have, you have lived through a number of 2 week waits. The "two week wait" or TWW in the fertility blogging community is the time from your treatment whether that be injections + timed intercourse, insemination or embryo transfer to the time you take a pregnancy test. Let me tell you, those 14 days are brutal. They feel like they go on forever and they are full of fear and doubt, hope and dreams... it's emotionally draining and we lived through 2.5 years of them. Every month another 2 week wait.
This two week wait was so very different. This was my 38-40 week of pregnancy. This was the two week wait that the only unknown was when we would meet our miracle McCoy. I'm not saying there weren't still a HUGE array of emotions to go through. Excitement, fear ( holy shit we will be in charge of a person!), sadness ( I LOVED my pregnancy and being pregnant. I had become very attached to my bump and was sad to see it go. I loved feeling him move and kick. I loved having him with me all of the time.)
I found the best quote to describe our journey:
"SOMETIMES, IT MAY SEEM THAT GOD FORGOT TO WRITE YOUR STORY, DON'T WORRY, HE'S BEEN SCRIPTING SOMETHING WORTH WAITING FOR"
McCoy Taylor Wiechman was born June 23, 2016 at 1:54 pm via cesarean section (birth story to come soon!) He was worth every second spent tpraying for him, every blood draw, needle stick, heart break, negative test, procedure... During those years of struggle, I could never have known what God had in store for us. The greatest and most beautiful gift.
