when i was 22, i was diagnosed with endometriosis and advised that i would have problems conceiving. i loved my doctor and trusted her opinion when she told me that i would need infertility treatments and that after 30 it would probably be completely impossible for me to get pregnant. around that time there was a tv commercial with a mom changing her baby and kissing his feet. i don't remember what the commercial was for, but i do recall crying and thinking that was all i wanted and i would never be happy until i had that. as my 20s flew by, i started losing hope.

yesterday as i changed cat's diaper, i kissed her little feet and she giggled. i remembered that commercial and smiled. it's more amazing than i ever imagined all those years. she's our perfect little miracle baby and she brings us so much happiness!
