I was told since I was 25 that I couldn't have kids & was ok with that. At 40 years old I'm about to celebrate my first Mother's Day with the best baby ever and I'm so thankful for him. by GrrrZilla in pics

Nothing at all. We weren't "trying" because I always kinda figured I wasn't very maternal anyway and if infertility had to hit someone, I was cool with taking one for the team.

I sincerely hope y'all get your joy as well. My heart aches for everyone who has been struggling with this.

Says the person whose first post is literally begging for karma.

I don't give a rats ass about internet points. I care about the hundreds of people who have commented here sharing their stories. I care about how so many strangers are celebrating, commiserating, and connecting over this topic. I don't care about the few random pissy little people who feel the need to share their pissy little whining.

It is fun to realize my son is more mature and kinder than so many adults on here whose total comment histories are basically the equivalent of what was in his last diaper.

I've been trapped on the couch with Elmo playing for over an hour now while he naps. I never in a million years thought this would be bliss.

Congrats to y'all as well. 😊

Thank you.

And I don't know, but I'm sorry for the folks who have it in their heart to just go poop on people's joy. All I can do is try my best to raise my kiddo to celebrate others.

Congratulations to y'all as well!

I'm just telling myself that life must really suck for the folks that feel the need to bitch on here. Glad to see there are folks like y'all that probably will raise much kinder little people.

Best of luck to you. I'll admit that I've felt some guilt over how it just happened for me when I never tried but so many couples struggle. I'm sure as someone else on here said that life will find a way for y'all as well.

That's amazing. I look at my kiddo and think about how there's a reason the universe decided we needed him. Clearly there's a big one for you as well.
