Lyrics to song "Miracle" by Celine Dion...
You're my life's one miracle Everything I've done that's good And you break my heart with tenderness And I confess it's true I never knew a love like this 'til you
You're the reason I was born Now I finally know for sure And I'm overwhelmed with happiness So blessed to hold you close The one that I love most Though the future has so much for you in store Who could ever love you more?
The nearest thing to heaven You're my angel from above Only God creates such a perfect love
When you smile at me, I cry And to save your life I'd die With a romance that is pure in heart You are my dearest part Whatever it requires I live for your desires Forget my own, your needs will come before Who could ever love you more?
There is nothing you could ever do To make me stop loving you And every breath I take Is always for your sake You sleep inside my dreams and know for sure Who could ever love you more?
There is hidden journaling on the inside of the "miracle" book...It reads:
Every time I look at the two of you, I am reminded of how you are truly the miracles of our lives. After everything your dad and I went through to just have the chance of conceiving, we know how blessed we are.
In late June 2001, your dad and I decided that we wanted to start our family. After a year of trying and no luck, we knew it was time to seek medical help.
We started testing in August 2002. Three months later, my doctor told us that we had "unexplained infertility". She started me on a drug called Clomid. After four months and no luck on Clomid, I went back to the doctor in March 2003 and had a Post-Coital test done. My test results came back with horrible results. We finally had an answer, but it was still hard hearing the news that we had about a 0% chance of conceiving on our own. She immediately recommended that we see a Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE) in Kansas City.
We had our first appointment in April 2003. We were scheduled for an Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) for the next week. Before we could do that IUI, I had two ultrasounds to look at my follicles. The first one showed that they were not big enough to go ahead with the IUI, and the second showed that my follicles had stopped growing. So, at that time, we found that I was also having problems ovulating. That cycle was canceled.
In May, we found that I had developed one of the side effects from the Clomid. I had a three-inch cyst on my right ovary. The cycle was cancelled and I started birth control pills to try to suppress the cyst. By July, the cyst was finally small enough to start treatment again. However, my body had found a way to produce a one-inch cyst on my left ovary. After that, it took five weeks for the cysts to be completely gone.
In late August, my RE started me on Clomid and an injectible drug called Repronex. This shot went in my stomach. I went to the RE on Sept. 4 for a follicle scan and we found out that I had two very healthy follicles on my left ovary. We were finally able to schedule the IUI for Saturday, Sept. 6. Everything went perfect on that day.
Less than two weeks later, on Wednesday, Sept. 17, I took a home pregnancy test and it came up positive! I never thought in my life that I would be so happy to see two little pink lines appear on a plastic stick.
On October 8, we went to Kansas City for our first ultrasound and found out that were were having twins! We were able to see two perfect little hearts just beating away...our Miracles.
Just like it says in the song, "Miracle", the two of you are the reason that I was born and just to have you here was worth going through all the things that we did. We would do it all over again in a second to get the same perfect outcome. Taylor and Zachary, you are our dream come true and I just want you to know that there is no one else who could ever love you more.
