The Difference a Year Can Make
A year ago today I was thrilled to start the day by getting second row centre tickets to the Weird Al concert. I hoped it was a good omen for what would be occurring later in the day, yet another embryo transfer. But what an embryo transfer it is! That little embryo is now having a nap. I feel like crying with happy.
It would be nice to go back in time and whisper in my ear that all would be well. It would be nice if I could have believed that whisper and enjoyed having Sparky on the inside instead of spending the whole time worried. But I don’t think my history would have allowed it. And it wouldn’t have been very ‘me’ to actually enjoy myself.
Here are some images of Little Spark a year ago today and today:
Eskil, 26 November 2011:

Goodness, that child’s cuteness has taken my breath away! Happy days! Enjoy.
awwwwww!!
Oh, wow, what a cutie! I love his eyes … so full of joy, and maybe a little mischief.
He’s much cuter now!
He is exceptionally gorgeous! I wish I’d take embryo photos. Eskil looked remarkabley similar to Tilly at the 8 cell stage.
Well he’s certainly much more cuddly looking these days…
It would be great if you could go back and tell yourself that all would be well, but a year of not being able to enjoy one’s self for fear and worry is a small price to pay for the joy this little man will give you for the rest of your days.
I am so in love with this beautiful little man of yours – look at that cheeky smile!
go Eskil!
it might have been nice to know ahead of the time, but – the most important thing is – all is great now and Eskil is so cute and healthy
