I went searching for IVF layouts and came across yours. What beautiful journaling. I know your heartache as my first round of IVF worked but lost the baby at 7 weeks. My second round was tough on me, but it did work. I pray that you have the luck that I have had, and if not, that you are blessed with continued love from your beautiful daughter!
oh your DD is gorgeous!! And this LO is too! Those papers go GREAT together. I love how you did the green on the ghost letters!! Great job, and good luck hun!! Your a shoe in:)
I think this is great! Beautiful pp, colors, and embellies. The journaling is incredible, and should be cherished by your dd as she gets older. And just so you know, you are not alone. My ds will be an only child, so I just say a prayer of thanks for him every day.
This is beatiful, and I love how you included the letter to your little girl she will truly treasure this when she is older. I love the whole design here!
Jenn, this LO is beautiful!! What a heartfelt piece of journaling. I like the creative way you hid your journaling. The photo hangers are a great idea! I love the lil rhinestones you used, too :) Such a meaningful page...Good luck!
Wow, Jenn, this LO is so touching! The journaling is heartfelt and I think it is wonderful that you are preserving ALL aspects of your life for future generations, the good time and the hard times. Good luck as you continue on your journey to have another child.
I created this layout when I was trying to get pregnant this past January. Please read the letter to my daughter for details.

My Dearest Julia,
You bring such light into my life. Just when I think there is no hope, you are there with your smiles, hugs, and kisses. You just know, when I need them the most!
You see, my darling daughter, daddy and I are trying to have another baby. We would like to grow our family and give you a sibiling. Someone you can play with and grow up with. Unfortunately it’s not that easy for mom and dad to get pregnant. We need to go through a medical procedure called Invitro-Fertilization (IVF) for a chance at pregnancy. You were conceived through IVF and I can still remember the day the nurse called and told us we were pregnant! IVF is a very expensive procedure and it doesn’t guarantee a pregnancy. We can only go through the cycle and pray we are blessed. This cycle is especially hard for me. My response to the medication wasn’t as I expected and we retrieved less eggs for fertilization than any other cycle. My day was filled with tears. I didn’t understand how this could happen to us, why we can’t just get pregnant like everyone else, why it’s so hard, and why we always have obsticles. It was a VERY hard day for me, I felt like life had done me wrong. Why did I have to be put through so many tests, why couldn’t I be normal. Why do we always struggle.
....Then daddy brought you home. You ran up to me, yelling “mommy, mommy” and gave me a great big hug. At that moment I forgot about my day and all the bad things that happened. You are the center of my world and you made it all better. You my dear, are the best medicine. NO matter what any doctor could give me to make me feel better, it wouldn’t have helped. It was you that brightened my day and my spirit.
Did we get pregnant? That is still unknown, but I do know, every time I look at you, I am thankful for what I have been given. My beautiful little girl, full of life, spirit, and spunk!
I love you!
mommy
