    Absolutely heartbreaking, yet inspirational

    First in a series of three articles about the journey of a little girl's last months with an inoperable and incurable brain tumour, and her family's celebration of her life:

    Given 3 months to live, Stella delights in the moment - thestar.com

    You might not want to read this if you don't want to cry, a lot. Read with a box of tissues!

    Hug your little ones and cherish every moment. You just really never know. It sure puts into perspective all those little things that annoy us just don't matter that much.

    I thought it was particularly heart achingly beautiful how the moments of new life and death were intertwined here. Very powerful piece indeed.

    I'm off to hug my kids now.
    Me (38) and DH (38)

    SAHM military momma to DS1 (2004), DS2 (who's all boy but loves to dance, though not in a tutu!) (2006), DS3 (2009), and our rainbow baby girl DD1 (2017)

    early m/c Jan 2013

    Cycle #1 @ HRC (Oct 2014) - 6 retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilized and biopsied. 1XX and 1XY abnormal. 1XX no DNA found, rebiopsied and found normal, frozen.
    FET attempt #1 (Nov 2014) - cancelled due to functional cyst. FET attempt #2 (Jan 30, 2015) - NT. Remaining embie failed to thaw.

    May 2015 - started infertility treatments at OFC. Femara 2.5mg
    July 2015 - BFP after second round of Femara. Aug 4 2015 - 6w4d
    Dec 21 2015 - mmc 7w1d

    Apr 2016 - IVF Cycle #2. Converted to IUI because of uneven response and leading follicles.
    Apr 19, 2016 - IUI with 3 mature follicles (2 right, 1 left), post wash: 17mil, 94% motility and 89% rapid motility. BFN.

    June 3, 2016 - 5mg Femara cycle. 5w.
    Sep 1, 2016 - 5mg Femara cycle. 8w.

    Our rainbow baby girl arrived on Mon Aug 28, 2017 - "After every storm comes a rainbow". We are so thankful and grateful for every moment.

    Not sure I'm strong enough (with all these pregnancy hormones) to cope with that right now. Might wait until after baby arrives. I'm sure it's beautiful though.
