i wrote a comment on a post today on babycenter and then found myself reading it back a couple times and it brought tears to my eyes.  i thought it would be good to post here for safe keeping :)

of all my life aspirations, i have always said that the one thing i had to do and was meant to do was be a mother.  i was told i would not be able to conceive naturally after age 30 and that thought has tortured me for 8+ years as i struggled to find a worthy man and get to the point where we agreed to and could afford infertility treatments.  as it turns out, i found the man of my dreams AND got pregnant with a surprise baby at 31.  she wasn't planned per se, but she's all i've ever wanted!
