Chapter Five: Our Dream Come True
The whole thing was like a dream come true.
That’s not to say that there was no pain or discomfort involved.
It’s certainly not to say that it’s all that glamorous lying there
with your legs in the air having an internal ultra sound and a
doctor retrieving your eggs. But none of that mattered to me all
that much because I was focused on our end result.
Billy was born at 36 weeks by caesarean because he was breach and
my waters broke. He weighed 2.32kg and he was in special care for a
week, until he got the hang of sucking. He came home from hospital
with me. To this day he takes my breath away.
I am grateful that I got over all my reservations about IVF. Parts
of it are obviously unpleasant, but no more unpleasant than the
monthly let down we had for five years before we did IVF. It
doesn’t always work, but it did for us, and it was worth it. It was
so worth it.
