We had a miscarriage back in 2009 and it has been a long road ever since. I'm hoping 2013 is our year, but it's hard to be optimistic nowadays.Kristen Alvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14107398121584969861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-51931875386743069772012-12-10T21:30:00.241-05:002012-12-10T21:30:00.241-05:00Catching up on posts...

You are an inspiration! For all you went through, you are able to see the positives. Had your (well deserved) bitterness or anger taken control, you might have given up well before Magpie. But you didn't let it. And that's why you're an inspiration, and that's why you are already an amazing mother to one of the luckiest little girls out there!

For the timing to line up so we were blessed with exactly who we were supposed to parent. And had someone told me that during our journey I would have been angry and not believed them...but on the other side where I am so blessed to be I see it all clearly now. I'm so, so, so, infinitely happy for you and Will!! Magpie is exactly who you've been waiting for. Though the journey was long and hard you're there now. Enjoy her and your wonderful life together!!
