I can't even put into words the emotional roller coaster of today. I was so thrilled to have "EXCELLENT!" bloodwork and to be officially pregnant. After months of prayer and waiting.


Then, an hour later, I was crushed to learn that my sweet friend is at the end of her life. There are no words . . .


She sent me a card the week of the embryo transfer saying she was praying for us and that things would work out. I'm so glad I was able to tell her, among other important things, the good news today. Her prayers were part of the many that carried us through . . .


I have lived the cycle of life today. I experienced the indescribable joy of new life. I have grieved the end of life. And the meeting of the two was painfully bittersweet.
