Mikayla, thank you for carrying her safely into our arms,” she added.<\/p>\n She also reflected on her experience trying to get pregnant, and how she “found the strength” to keep moving forward even when things were dark.<\/p>\n “Looking back on the last five years, I can\u2019t help but think of all those shots, surgeries, multiple retrievals to replenish all of the miscarriages and failed transfers I endured, the miscarriages that felt like they broke me more and more each time and to the times that Todd and I thought are our dream would never come true,” she said.<\/p>\n “I wish we never went through it but I’m grateful that somehow I found the strength to keep going when I thought I couldn’t because we got very lucky,” she concluded. “Georgie, we have thought about you for half a decade. You are so loved. You are EVERYTHING.”<\/p>\n Unable to render YouTube Video.<\/strong><\/p>\n
