Journey of a Lifetime

The short version: I was born with Cystic Fibrosis, lived the life of a dreamer, only to find out as an adult that dreams do come true. This is my story of being a CF patient for 30 years, married to an amazing man, dealing with infertility, creating our little girl Scarlett through the help of a great friend and gestational surrogacy, and during all this, waiting for the gift of new lungs to save my life and to allow me to be a mommy. More than anything, this is the story of great hope.

We're having a.......

* GIRL *

Today was by far one of the best days of my life!! After this past week going as it has, and the sorrow I felt last night, today was just incredible!! I will write more about the day tomorrow, but wanted everyone out there to know the good news!!

Today inspired me so much. To continue my fight against CF with the spirit and the honour my daughter would want of me.

We love her so much!! And Martin....well he's so SO in love already!!
