Some of you may remember this post:
Today was a very special weekend. The first baby of the "CCRM 9" turned one (and the next two will be celbrating their birthdays next week).

When I think back to when the six of us started a few years ago - all filled with hope, fear, uncertainty and lighter bank balances - and compare it to where we are now, it's unbelievable. We celebrated the BFPs together, we cried for one-another's disappointments, we leaned on one another when we were faced with difficult decisions and we celebrated one another's successes - from all accross North America.
After I m/c during my first CCRM IVF in Septebmer 2010, one of the things that upset me the most was thinking that I would not be able to share the experience with these six amazing women and need to drop off the board because I would be the infertile "outsider."
The thought of these nine children being tucked into bed by their parents each night and staring up at the same stars sends shivers down my spine. Even though I met only a few of their mom's and dad's IRL, I hope that one day - maybe at a CCRM reunion - all nine babies can meet and realize how truly amazing it is that they are now our sons and daughters.
To those of you who are still somewhere along your journey, keep the faith. Dreams really do come true! We are living proof!
Happy Birthday little RachelDiana...and thinking of you A&L Twinks! Can't wait to see First Birthday Pictures...and hope I get to see more for years to come!

Beautiful post Flygirl - hope I can join you on the other side sometime soon :-)
What a wonderful and heartwarming post! And looking at your pictures I cannot believe how fast the twinks are growing!
*Sniffles* Thanks for the post Flygirl...I know I can hardly believe it!! And you can bet we WILL meet one day IRL...we will for sure be making a trek back down to CCRM in a year or two. Count on it.
Very lovely post. It's so important to remember and celebrate what miracles our CCRM babies are. Loved your dedication to them today.
Thanks Jen. Can hardly wait for you to come to Colorado (and maybe meet The Twinks IRL)! It's coming soon! So excited!
Thanks Newbie! It's like living in a time-warp when you have kids...and someone hit the FF button!
I can't wait! :)
I've always considered you (and now L) an "honorary member" of our group. Can't believe it's been about a year since you were here!
