I am humbled and wowed by your response to my Wanna-Be-Mommy post about infertility. We've been trying to conceive for four years and I was feeling hormonal and tired and cranky and quite frankly nearly giving up hope when I wrote that piece. Your response lifted my spirits.

Excuse me but I needed to fix something that I wrote wrong so I deleted the previous comment. Here it is with the correction. Oh my goodness! Praise God! I am so happy for you and your news and am crying tears of joy. What I would have done to read the word you did on that little test. I can't imagine the thoughts that went through and are going through your head. I love happy endings and can't wait to follow you through your pregnancy. CONGRATULATIONS JUDY AND HUBBY!
