The beginning of the tour
It turns out that like any newly married couple, we planned that we wanted to start a family with many children, as is expected, our married life was going wonderfully and as time went by, the usual question from family and friends was always present: When do you think have a child...? At first it was very funny because we joked about the fact that we were practicing a lot to look for some brunettes... but as time went by and after looking for all the existing means and remedies provided by grannies and by empirical experts in fertility matters from both families, from friends, acquaintances and even referrals... that is, a friend of another friend who knows a man who prepares a home remedy that worked for so-and-so and so-and-so, from the most reasonable to the most crazy, some even make me sad count them (I reserve those for personal summary).
Returning to the famous almost obligatory question to which I got a lot of anger, as the years went by after so much trial and error, we were already avoiding acquaintances and also some very scathing and inquisitive relatives on the topic of possible motherhood, With this, it was added that every Mother's Day that passed, my wife cried in silence for not having achieved that honorable status, it tore the heart and we suffered in silence with a fake smile in the face of the insensitive comments of many who were always on the sidelines. order of the day to make us uncomfortable without realizing the damage they were doing to us.
On the edge of the precipice
Of course, this situation that we experienced affected us greatly, so we decided to undergo various medical evaluations with professionals in the gynecological and urological area, being subjected to all the necessary evaluations and reviews in order to determine our availability and compatibility for procreation. To our surprise everything was in perfect condition, but even so the miracle of conception did not occur...
Balm for the soul
One day, without thinking about it, we found ourselves in one of the many medical consultations we attended in several states of the country (Venezuela), the fertility doctor, upon interviewing us and listening to our story, explained to us all the assisted fertility procedures that his clinic offered with its effectiveness margin and the amounts referred to for them; We asked him what was the most effective? being truly surprised by the warmth of his response; He told us that this question was relative since each of the procedures had its margin of probability, however none guaranteed a pregnancy as such, that only God offered that possibility; Those words were a painkiller for our hearts. At that precise moment it was not what we heard but the feeling of calm and tranquility that was generated in us, something difficult to explain but unforgettable.
When we returned from the trip everything was different and we left that frenetic and stormy search that was doing us so much harm, we simply dedicated ourselves to living each day to the fullest and enjoying our love and company. After some time everything was going better and we were emotionally more stable.
Valentine's surprise
I remember as if it were yesterday that at that time I was doing my postgraduate studies in the city of Barcelona - Anzoátegui State and I traveled weekly from the State of Sucre to my study day, I quietly happy trip that weekend, I said goodbye as always to my wife and I noticed a certain mischief that I did not understand at that moment, she had some suspicions and wanted to be irreversibly sure before giving any news, according to what she tells me that she looked for an ally in her younger sister and asked her to accompany her to the doctor to undergo surgery. the corresponding tests to see if she was truly pregnant.
With my heart in my mouth and on the point of an emotional collapse, I went to the doctor with my sister-in-law and after finishing the whole process she told me that the most exasperating thing came; read the result of the blood chemistry or HCG in the blood, of course the nerves did not allow him to open the envelope and he gave it to my sister-in-law so that she could do it, both pale from fear, anguish and desperation of the result, my sister-in-law I look at her and shout, "We're going to have a baby!"...imagine them living that movie and me oblivious to that surprise.
Maternity accomplices
They kept it a secret and until the other day, which as a matter of life was February 14th "Valentine's Day" and I received the million dollar call, my wife called me and after a very short conversation she told me; You know I have a Valentine's gift for you but I can't wait for you to come back, I wonder are you sitting down? and I said yes, having a coffee. Why? She couldn't find the words until she told me between laughing and crying, I'm pregnant, I'm 4 weeks... I almost fainted from emotion, I don't have words to describe what I felt in my heart, I was left speechless, with a peace and unique plenitude, our pleas were heard and I couldn't wait to have my wife in my arms so together we could share that sublime news. From that moment on, a roller coaster of emotions and continuous scares began because we were first-timers and scared, so to speak. .
The expected moment
A very rewarding experience that came to fruition on October 1, 2012, my first son was born, whom we named Rodrigo José, for us a beautiful gift from God, our first and great unconditional love, of which there are still many things to tell. but I'll leave them for another time, thank you for making it to the end of my TBT, I love you a lot.

Oh, my, I got a tear in my eye while reading how your wife called you to give you the best ever news!!! Those questions you faced for years can hurt and harm, people don't even realize that. Unfortunately. But what happiness, when we don't feel pressure then miracles happen, right? :))
very true friend, miracles usually happen when the causes seem lost, I really appreciate your words 🙏😊, for me writing this post was once again facing mixed feelings and I tell you it was not easy at all, since the tears in my eyes and the knot in the throat they accompanied me at all times and to my surprise, even trying to summarize those six years of history, there were many things left to say, well they will remain for some other time... we are reading each other, friend, greetings and blessings.
Greetings and have a nice weekend

STOP¡Hola hermano!. Leí tu post ayer y hasta ahora tengo tiempo de comentar. Primero quiero darte la bienvenida a los Jueves de #tbt y muchas gracias por estar aquí, puedes venir todas las veces que gustes y que tengas algún recuerdo especial por rememorar.
Yo también he soltado algunas lágrimas de alegría igual que mi amiga @mipiano con esta hermosa historia. Las palabras que te dijo el médico fueron clave porque siempre he escuchado que mientras más crece el estrés es más difícil concebir; por otro lado, jamás entenderé por qué las personas no tienen más cuidado respecto a la intimidad de las parejas, creo que es normal que se hayan alejado un poco para no lidiar con tanta incomodidad.
Creo que todos estamos de acuerdo en que amamos este post, es maravilloso y un #tbt muy valioso. Mil gracias por compartir parte de tu intimidad con nosotros. También puedes agregar la traducción al español de tus posts si gustas, puede ser bilingüe, por eso te respondo en español 😅 ¡Que tengas excelente fin de semana José! ✌️
Saludos, mil gracias por esas palabras mi estimado, son muy importantes para mi de verdad, me siento muy satisfecho de que consideren importante el valor de mi relato, fue realizado con todo mi corazón, tomare en cuenta su sugerencia para próximas publicaciones, gracias y espero seguir compartiendo mis recuerdos en adelante y por supuesto disfrutando de sus post, siempre dedico tiempo para disfrutar de la buena lectura, recuerden que recordar es vivir...
I am dying of tenderness with this publication. 😍
What a story full of pain, anguish, unconditional love, worthy of admiration and respect for all the love between you, that despite the bad vibes and bad dispositions of some people, you knew how to move forward and be blessed with a beautiful baby ❤️
What a wonderful story with a happy ending, or better said, a happy and wonderful beginning.
Blessings to your beautiful family ✨
