it worked for her....

I received the sweetest little package and card in the mail last week. And it made my day!
Thank you Christy!!!


Erin,
Here is a "magic onesie" for the nursery closet. I bought this from a random store in Paris right after I got divorced in 2004. I saw it and thought to myself "someday things will work out and I will have a family." So I bought it and took it home- and it hung in closets in Provo and
San Diego.
I'd get it out and look at it and wonder how I would ever put a real baby in it! After each discouraging loss I would think about the little onesie and get motivated to try again! I never wanted to buy a lot of baby things when I was pregnant for fear that it would backfire...so this was pretty much the lone staple in the closet for a LOOONG time! It was every baby I lost and every baby I wanted so badly! I hope if you hang it in your closet it can be a little reminder of why its worth it to keep trying!!! My pregnancy with Brigitte was an absolute miracle and the hardest 9 months of my life. Bleeding, bed rest, every pregnancy symptom in the book-I endured them all. She was the hardest and best won victory I have ever battled for. Everything was worth it. And now the onesie is clearly getting TOO powerful to live in my closet. Two babies in two years- all to the girl who was told she would chronically miscarry.

So I pass it on to you! I hope it helps you envision the little person who will someday call you "mama."
Oh it will melt your heart!!!

xoxo Christy
