The way you interweaved the end point of pregnancy with the darker moments of infertility really just shows how intense this journey is. Your videos have shown every emotion and I'm so happy for you that now you get to be joyous with your little one. So thankful for your raw honesty along the way and even more thankful you received your precious daughter.

Enjoy every second and a massive congratulations to you both. ❤❤❤

Thank you 🥹🤍🤍🤍

[@martacruzaparicio291]

You made me cry so many happy tears for you and Tim. You are brave Celeste, such a warrior!!! You never gave up till getting your dream come true!!! ( I am not saying that giving up is a bad choice, everyone should do what they feel is right for them). God bless your family.

[@soulandiasaab8727]

Absolutely beautiful. I started crying 2 minutes into the video 🥺 She is the symbol of the hope and light after what seemed to be years of darkness and despair. I am so happy for you both. God bless your “Little Dream” that is now a reality ❤️🙏🏻

[@TimandCeleste]

Thank you so much, lovely 🥹🫶🏼

[@09gamecock]

I have followed you for a long time I wish I saw this video when it was first posted. I wish you all the joy, happiness, safety, and peace in the world you all deserve it.

[@dianebridges6256]

She is adorable! The clip where Tim was holding her and crying made me do the ugly cry. It was such a beautiful moment. I pray God wraps your family in his arms and keeps you as safe and happy as you are now. You were the 7th and final lady on my fertility prayer list and now you have all been blessed with a little angel. Time to make a new list..though I rather there was not a reason to, but there is so we will continue to pray for others who need it. You're going to be wonderful parents for little Mabel and one day when she's older maybe show her your journey so she will truly understand how much she was wanted and loved. God Bless

[@TimandCeleste]

Such a beautiful moment! 🥹✨ Thanks you so much for your kindness and prayers 🤍

Anytime I’ve felt blessed looking at them I’ve never forgotten about infertility vlogs and ivf journeys that gave me comfort …I still cry for all the couples who are still fighting for their future child/children! I will say almost everyone I watched eventually became parents! Y’all finally being parents is the best thing! My journey was 7 years …you will never ever forget and sometimes you will stare at your child in disbelief even when they are 3! I’m so happy for y’all! God bless! Please film your journey as a mom ..if you get time! Lol
