It has been such a long and difficult journey to parenthood for Mo and Will. Little Magpie will be here very soon! So many of us in the blogosphere have been hoping with them through each cycle, cautiously celebrating each BFP with them, abiding by them through each heartbreaking loss. Then this pregnancy happened. We checked the blog incessantly whenever there was an ultrasound scheduled, when there was spotting, and now, as we await Magpie's birth. This is truly a time to celebrate!

As I told Mo, once Magpie arrives it's all about the baby. So I'd like to, in these last days of this much wanted, long awaited, miracle pregnancy, to celebrate Mo. I would love it if you would write your congratulations to their family, or maybe the best bit of newborn advice you wish you'd known, or the odd baby gear you found invaluable, or whatever. Please email them to me at dorasblog@gmail.com, and I'll post each one as its own post. Join me in this virtual baby shower to shower Mo with love.

From Jen at Barefoot and....

Welcome to the world, Magpie, and welcome to parenthood, Mo & Will!  Words cannot express how excited I am for all of you....especially Magpie, who has two of the most tenacious and dedicated parents I have even "known."
 
As for newborn advice....please don't be hard on yourself if, even after all you've been through to get here, you still have moments of sheer, sleep-deprivation-enhanced frustration where you think (lovingly, of course): "Why did I think that THIS was a good idea?!?" It's so hard to see in those early days that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and that you will, at some point, feel like you know what you're doing (sort of).
 
And I second the comments below to try and savor every minute....it does go by so fast, and at some point you'll realize that you've forgotten half of the things that were the CUTEST. THING. EVER. at the time. Luckily, you'll also forget some of the not-so-cute moments as well!
 
All kidding aside, I am beyond thrilled for you, and can't wait to keep following your journey with your little Magpie.
 
Sending lots of thoughts for an uneventful birth, an easy transition home, and a peaceful first few weeks.
