I hate that I even need motivation because this something I truly enjoy doing for me. I love looking back on posts about my family and reading about our adventures! I'm hoping it's something my kids will treasure when they are old enough to understand. I've thought a lot about filtering- especially with some of the emotional IVF posts- but then I thought no, that's really a part of my whole story. And even though I can now very casually say my babies were all IVF babies when the inevitable "do twins run in. Your family question" comes up, I never want to forget that raw, emotional struggle it took to get to that point.
This Christmas season, I am extra extra thankful for IVF. I get to do elf on a shelf! I got to participate in a family advent ornament exchange with my Sunday school, I get to play nativity and read about Baby Jesus with my family. I get to visit Santa multiple times a week and discuss the naughty list with the twins. I have gotten to shop for adorable Christmas outfits. I get to plan a Christmas time baptism. I am so thankful each day for my babies. Even though this is a hard and extremely busy season of our life, I try to never take my children for granted. I always have a thankful heart for the true miracles God has blessed us with.
Whew! I don't know how this post made it all the way to sappy and reflectional (is that a word?) but like I said before, this is my space and I'm thankful for this little outlet to write about our family, thoughts, and adventures! Here's to posting more!
