My husband Brooks & I were married May 23rd, 2009. Soon after, we were excited about starting a family and were ready for the next chapter in our lives to begin--with children! Sadly, our journey to parenthood was not an easy one. Over the last four years, I endured numerous fertility treatments, surgeries, and miscarriage. During this process, we lost 4 babies- one singleton, and 3 identical triplet girls. We finally made the decision to try In Vitro fertilization with a wonderful surrogate (gestational carrier) and on the 4th try it was successful! On April 28, 2013, Bronson Wyatt Miller was born. He was a healthy 8lb2oz, 19.5in baby boy, with a good set of lungs! We chose the middle name ‘Wyatt’ because it means "Little Warrior", as we see him as this strong little guy, our only baby who has survived and made it into our arms! Infertility is very difficult, emotionally, physically, financially, spiritually and affects so many couples, who often suffer in silence. But throughout it all, we have trusted God and knew He had a perfect plan for our lives (Jeremiah 29:11) ...we just never dreamed it would be THIS perfect! Bronson is almost 3 months old now, and we feel joy everyday taking care of this beautiful baby boy sent to us by God. People ask me all the time if parenthood is what I expected…and all I can say is that it’s MORE than I ever dreamed of. Of course there are those nights where you get little or no sleep and you feel so very tired- but it is in those times that I turn my thoughts to God and say with a grateful heart, “Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus, you heard my cries numerous times at 3am, heartbroken over my babies that never made it into my arms…and now I am holding Bronson with tears of joy at 3am” as I’m feeding him, rocking him, holding him close cheek to cheek. God has allowed Bronson to heal part of my heart that was broken over our losses, and for that I am so grateful. I am also so thankful that God gave us a son, as it gave me a new understanding of the love of our Heavenly Father, and how much he loved HIS Son, and to sacrifice Him for us is truly the greatest love of all!
We thank God every day for Bronson and will never take for granted the true miracle & blessing that he is!!! Our little Prince Charming sent to us by the King...Jesus!
“For this child I have prayed and the Lord has granted the desires of my heart”. ~I Samuel 1:27
