To believe in miracles?

[blondiedollface]

I am in total awe, and there is now a part of me that believes in miracles.. Just wow!!

5 years ago I was told I couldn't have children, which as an 18yo is pretty undigestible news as (for me anyway) the thought of becoming a mum not only terrified me but didn't really appear on my radar at all... I was told if I did ever want children I would have to be pumped full of drugs and hormones and most likely that wouldn't work so adoption would be my only option. No issue, I was more than happy to consider this when the time came!

The time came, my wonderful DH and I, newly tangled up in each other started to discuss the future, and having always been honest we started speaking frankly about adoption and all our possible options for the future - and it excited us both :)

In September last year our miracle happened, despite my prognosis AND being on the pill to regulate my cycle in a 400,000 to 1 chance I fell pregnant.

Our little miracle is 16 days old, curled up asleep on my chest and I still can't believe she's here, someone I never thought could exist is snuffling away on me and I have never been happier

I'm a mummy! And my little miracle is beautiful, somebody somewhere worked some magic the day they let DH and I create such a perfect little girl...

How lovely! You enjoy your little miracle. Some things are just meant to be.

My eyes are watering, maybe I have something in my eye. So happy for you

Congratulations blondie enjoy every minute, that's a great story and shows that you were meant to have this little girl

such a lovely thing to read :)

all the best to you - you can talk about law of statistics to anyone :)

How lovely! :)

You've gone and made me all mushy and happy. Enjoy your snuggles with your lovely girl.

Massive congratulations! May I ask her name? :)

thanks for sharing. Wonderful news, many congratulations to you and your dh. x

I am stunned by this thread. OP - I don't know if you've seen the threads about Expat's daughter? Aillish is very sick and I don't know for how many days we've been praying and hoping and telling each other that we believe in miracles. That we will see it. That it can happen.
And then here you are - evidence that miracles happen! I am a blubbering wreck.

Congratulations on your daughter and THANK YOU for the encouragement of your story. I believe in miracles

I've got a wet in my eye too. They are all miracles of course but yours doubly do. Enjoy.

blondie- a truely wonderful thing.
have always been a big believer in angels

enjoy (as if you need telling) your little snuffeling beauty.

congrats from us, lovely lady xx

The days are long but the years are short. Enjoy every moment and congratulations on your little miracle.

Congratulations... I hope you enjoy your life together!

Congratulations and YANBU. I believe in miracles.

I know a 2 year old who had a severe type of meningitis (pneumococcal??). She had a 1 in 10 chance of survival and, even if she survived, she was expected to be severely mentally and physically disabled. She is a healthy, happy toddler and totally recovered now.

I know a woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer. Lots of people prayed and when she went for her next appointment they could find no trace of any cancer.

I don't believe these things happen very often. But they do happen.

OP - I have one of those. Told that it wasn't possible, we eventually accepted it, and spent all the money we'd saved for a baby on 3 weeks in Antigua. 8 months later my hulking 13 year old was born.

Huge congratulations to you and your DH - those early days are exhausting but lovely. Ds remains an only despite no contraception ever, so he truly was meant to be here.

Enjoy your DD - so pleased for you

Op I share your happiness and part of your story. We'd started the adoption process when we found out I was pregnant. I was told at 17 it was highly unlikely I'd have children, and years of surgery, drugs, treatment and pain I never thought it would happen.
But she's going to be 6 weeks old on Tuesday. I can't believe she's here and keep thinking that I'm going to wake up and it'll all be a dream!
The most amazing thing for you, congratulations

What a wonderful and uplifting thread. Many congratulations to you and thanks for sharing your lovely story.

I believe in miracles too .

Congratulations mummy! Enjoy your little miracle. I bet she's a doll face like her mum.

"A baby cried, and a world began"

Aww, congratulations!
This happened to the parents of a good friend, just after adopting their first son, they found out that they were expecting!

Miracles can happen :)

What a beautiful story! Yes, I believe in miracles. Congratulations to you.

Millions of congratulations, blondie. So moving and wonderful.:)

And lovely stories too, mango and SD. Though giving birth to a hulking 13 year old must have been rather a shock, SD!

Congratulations to you and your DH - what wonderful news!

I can somewhat empathise with your feelings then and now due to our history and even though having a new baby is intense I do believe I was given some immunity to the struggle through the hefty dose of disbelief and joy I felt every time I saw his tiny face, even when it was shouting at me in the small hours (not that other mums don't feel that, not what I'm trying so clumsily to say).

This is just the start of the magic, believe me x

Congratulations!

What beautiful news. Something similar has happened recently to a relative of mine and even though we haven't seen each other for a very long time that sort of news really warms your heart. I wish you and you'd all the best OP.
