Miracles Can Happen...even after 4+ years

The first picture was taken as we drove into the city exactly a year ago to pick up my babies.
Its been a year since I brought my miracles home.
Exactly a year!!
Today I hold my miracles in my arms.
I have no other place to share this story.
I stare at the pictures and I still cry over my ice babies.
I cry even as I look at their faces smiling back at me now.
These are my miracles!
So what! science helped me!
They are still miracles from God!
I took a cheapo home pregnancy test at the 3 days after the transfer.
I was silly! very silly!
Took the test and there was a strong line!
"this shit must be broken!"
Did another, heck I had 50 of them!
Positive!
Another
Positive!
Came close to asking husband to pee on one to be sure.
I look at the picture of my thawed embryos and swear I know which is which.
I almost see their faces as I look at this picture.
Difficult to imagine that from a deep freezer came life.
Beautiful life came from a laboratory.
How strange!
How beautiful!
How awesome is God to give man the gift of intelligence and guide him to do wondrous things through science!
I remember that day!
I watch the embryos being drawn into the syringe on the huge screen

The nurses exclaimed" look they are hatching you're going to have twins!"
What a wonderful wonderful dream...and it came true!

I look at them today and it is hard to imagine that these funny little balls of love, smiles, and laughs came from something that was once frozen. Frozen for months.
How is that possible?
It's hard to wrap my mind around it. Thank God!
