My Journey Towards the Pursuit of Motherhood

I did this layout as a challenge for the local scrapbook store, for May you had to use quickutz and it had to be related to Mothers. So I decided to tackle what a tough journey that is for some people like myself.

Journaling reads "

Growing up I always thought I'd get married and have four children. We began trying as soon as we got married. Here I am 9 yrs later dealing with unexplained infertility and have 4 babies in heaven. Our first loss was twins at 19 weeks that we got pg with after IVF #2. Going through the pain of labor and delivery knowing your babies won't make it is one of the toughest moments in my life. Eight months later we had an early loss after IVF #3. Nine months after that we got pg on our own, but I needed emergency surgery due to an ectopic and ruptured left tube. I hope one day I get the chance to be as amazing a mother as my stepmom."
