The Beginning

One year ago...

.....on 7/18/2012

.... an egg and sperm were fertilized in a petri dish....

..... and my amazing Beanie was created!

It would be 5 more days of waiting, hoping, wishing and praying before our lives were intertwined forever and our journey together officially began.

But I just wanted to acknowledge today's date too....because its so special.

Looking back at my post from last year, I remember being scared out of my wits knowing the eggs were being fertilized and terrified of receiving the fertilization report the next day -- wondering if I would get any good embryos!

The next day I got the good report that all but one egg fertilized. And that night, I dreamt that I had a baby girl -- how freaky is that!

To cap off her "creation" anniversary week, Beanie is now rolling from back to tummy all. the. time -- including in her sleep. She is so quick and doing it in such a smooth graceful movement that I am amazed.

As I expect to have another sleepless night, while I keep waking to untangle her when she finds herself on her tummy, I am so aware of my feelings from a year ago.

I gave her an extra special cuddle today.

BTW -- I ordered the Angel Monitor last night. Thanks for the recommendation.
