Louis and I have been married for FIVE years now. On November 18, 2000 we finally said “WE DO”. We had tried to get pregnant since that day and it took us over four years to get a positive pregnancy test. It was a tough road but we helped each other on the emotional rollercoaster.

Last year at this time I recall how devastated I was to get another negative pregnancy test. I wanted those two lines to show up so badly and be able to give Louis a wonderful anniversary present. I started my next round of Clomid and the pharmacy had given me three extra pills. I did some research on the Internet and found that it would be OK to take one extra a day.

I guess that was all my body needed because I was present just three weeks later. However I wouldn’t know this until New Years Day and thus I was still depressed throughout the holiday season. I had taken a pregnancy test on Christmas Day hoping to share good news with both of our families but the test was negative. It wasn’t until a week later that our lives would change for ever. On New Years Day I took another test and finally saw the two lines I had dreamed about. I jumped on the bed and Lou woke up to me screaming “There are two lines” I just kept repeating myself and cried tears of joy.
