The Broken Road Led To A Miracle

My husband & I were married 10 years ago. I was 28 at the time and we talked about having children in the near future (we just wanted the first year or so to get familiarized with the married life)! By the time I turned 30, I was pregnant. YEAH!! We celebrated by inviting our parents over for dessert, we presented a cake to them with the words: “GUESS WHAT…YOU ARE GRANDPARENTS” written on it. Wow, did the tears start to shed. About 3 weeks later I had an unbearable pain in my stomach and within minutes, I had a miscarriage… we were destroyed!

Three years later, we met Dr. Kiltz through a friend of mine who became a father to beautiful twin girls. He referred to him as the ‘Maker of Miracles’. Although we were skeptical, we shortly came to realize that this title is deserving. Once again, we told both sets of grandparents that we were having a baby and as my father gave me a big grizzly bear hug he said to me “I am so happy, my heart can never have too much room for my grandchildren” and his tears shed once more (this time they were happy tears). The day after we told my dad we were pregnant, he passed away unexpectedly. This was the hardest time in my life and now our precious little Zachary is in our lives and we know that Grampy is watching over him.

Thank you to the wonderful and caring staff at CNY Fertility and to Dr. Kiltz, the ‘Maker of Miracles’! We hope to work with everyone again in the near future!
