[@alistairrae9807]

Why can’t we have more people like Liv in the world proof that Angels exists

[@AMANDA-rx5xc]

You guys are two of the kindest souls if ever seen. The amount of love and compassion in this video warms my heart. I wish you both the best during this journey! 💕🤞💕

[@TimandCeleste]

Aww such a lovely thing to say! Thank you for your kind words and wishes! xx

[@sj2451]

Melted my heart when Liv said she would be open to using her own eggs. 🌈♥️

[@alistairrae9807]

Same Liv is the definition of a great friend we need more people like her in the world

[@cassiforest9191]

Me too! Celeste really had no clue she was going to say that and it gave me chill bumps.

[@cdesjardins1988]

Same!

[@ladylauder3972]

Hi Celeste and Tim, Tonight while watching this video my husband called out from the bedroom and asked "Any baby yet?" Even though he does not watch your videos, he now recognises your voice and and is invested in your journey. We are wishing with all we have that this next transfer is successful and you have your baby in your arms soon. Sending all our love xxx

[@TimandCeleste]

Awww thank you both. Your support means a lot! Xxx

[@paddlekick]

Wow, amazing how two of the most kind people found each other. Fingers crossed for this next round. xx

[@eaglefoot23]

3:17 y’all are so cute, saying the same thing at the same time! I love your friendship! I hope we get to see lots more of you and Liv together over the years!

[@a.b.5590]

I've been following you and Tim's journey for about 3 years now and I have so much hope for y'all. I struggled with infertility for years and I now have a sunshine daughter, 2 angel babies, and a rainbow son. I can't wait to see you guys with your long awaited "little dream". 💕 My favorite thing about Celeste is her ability to celebrate other people's pregnancies. I, unfortunately (and embarrassingly), didn't have that level of grace during my infertility struggle. So I know how much strength it takes to separate yourself and feel genuine joy for someone else's achievement when it's something you want so badly for yourself. I went through very rough bouts of depression when I was trying to conceive and I didn't want to see or hear about other people becoming pregnant (intentionally or not)... So I envy your ability to feel joy for others. ❤

[@TimandCeleste]

Thank you for your lovely words! It’s definitely not always the easiest for me to feel genuine joy after hearing pregnancy announcements, and there have been plenty of pregnancy announcements over the last 6 + years that I haven’t handled with a lot of grace! It’s so tough seeing others achieve so easily what you’ve been fighting to get with every ounce of your being. It’s definitely hard and I’ve had my bouts of depression also. For me it’s easier to feel joyful for those who’s journey to baby hasn’t been easy. Infertility sure does change your perspective on things! ❤️

[@a.b.5590]

@@TimandCeleste I totally understand what you mean. I found you guys and others on KZbin after I got pregnant with my firstborn. I didn't want to hear about people that tried one month or slipped up and got pregnant. I dealt with alot of sadness during my attempts to get pregnant. At first I was hopeful and I over thought every minor symptom... but as months and years ticked by, I started to get bitter. I finally came to terms with the idea that I'd never be a mom. And, of course, the same month I gave up, I conceived my first baby. I found out I was pregnant and I finally wanted to hear about other people trying to conceive. I binge watched KZbin videos about people that had also struggled with infertility.... and that's how I found you. I didn't want to watch live pregnancy tests from people that fell pregnant easily because I didn't feel like I could relate to them at all. As time has gone on and I've lost two babies (after my firstborn) and finally had my rainbow, my body has sorted itself out. I no longer struggle to conceive, but I remember the psychological pain and disappointment. So my heart goes out to you. I've even considered being a surrogate for someone... mainly because I want to help others achieve the thing I struggled so badly with. Anyways, I'm rooting for y'all and I hope the next transfer takes! 🤞🏻💕

[@samiqbal2005]

Everyone needs a Liv in thier lives what a amazing soul she is xx

[@leannadanna17]

Two beautiful women inside & out, and this friendship is so unique and inspirational. There's no doubt in my mind this combination was created by angels and the best is yet to come♡♡♡

[@laurajohnston8392]

Such a beautiful friendship. All the luck in the world! I’ve been following your story for a while now. Live in Sydney but I grew up in Inveraray, Scotland! Couldn’t believe it when you uploaded a video of my wee town :-) xx

[@TimandCeleste]

Thank you! Ahhh we LOVED Inveraray! We want to go back! Such a beautiful place to grow up - must’ve been strange seeing me upload a video of your hometown! Xx

[@lilithssilvermoon3208]

I’m so excited for this to Happen

[@TimandCeleste]

Thank you so so much ♥️

[@shellsfacebook]

Such a very special friendship.. ❤️

[@cdesjardins1988]

I'm so happy you both did this q+a! Loved getting to see how you and Liv are together. You two are sunshine on a rainy day. (Couldn't think of another way to put it) Well I guess I could have said delightful! 😂 And I want to thank you both for being so open and honest about all of this. When Liv said she would even let you use her eggs just made me tear up...she is such a wonderful friend! Much love and hope for this upcoming transfer! 🤞 💜💙

[@TimandCeleste]

Aw thank you! So glad you enjoyed watching our q+a! 💕💕💕

[@amywells9570]

What sweet souls you both are! Wishing you all the luck in the world for your next transfer. I’ll be starting my first IVF cycle after 4/5 yrs ttc and 4 losses at the same time so hoping the fertility gods send positive energy our way! X x

[@TimandCeleste]

Thank you so so much! Wishing you all the very best too! Xx

[@sainters31]

Two amazing women! Best of luck guys, I really hope this is it. How lucky are you both to have such an amazing friendship.

[@TimandCeleste]

[@cha-ching827]

What a beautiful amazing friendship. I have everything crossed you and Tim get your happily ever after, so much love between you its so wonderful to see. :-)

[@TimandCeleste]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@ksharm777]

You are adorable together. I hope that the fact that you wound up neighbors and friends is proof that all of this WILL work and that God has laid out this scenario for you. What an angel Liv is.....to know ahead of time that you may need a C section and you're okay with surgery and recovery.....a truly unselfish, beautiful woman. Celeste, I can't wait for you to be able to feel your baby moving in Liv's tummy, finding out the gender, all the fun parts of this journey. You will be such a loving, nurturing mommy. Thanks for allowing all of us to come along on this beautiful journey, with the ups and downs, happiness and sadness. I'm so glad you have each other to laugh with. So very special.....Can't wait for all the happiness that is to come! Love to both of you from across the globe.

[@TimandCeleste]

Thank you!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@michellevorster3213]

Will pray everything works out for you this time You deserve to be happy with your own beautiful baby🙏👼

[@TimandCeleste]

Thank you for your prayers x

[@ljv2011]

Liv, is a true Angel from Heaven!!! Wow 😊 Celeste, you are just as much of an Angel 😇

[@wendypudder9745]

Celeste, you have a great friend there. Liv is lucky as well. I believe everything happens for a reason and you two were meant to be friends. I will be praying this one is the one best wishes. Have a wonderful and safe day 💗🤶

[@TimandCeleste]

We are very lucky! Thank you for your prayers! x

[@VoniKoni]

I am following your journey I think for 3-4 years. I am from Germany, so basically from the other side of earth ;-) (Sorry for my bad English skills). I think you have such a beautiful personality and one can see that Tim and you have the heart in the right place. And so I hope for your sake that you will finally be rewarded. That you are finally the ones who can make a pregnancy announcement. That this world is enriched by your children. Because that's what happens when you have such great parents! We ourselves struggled with infertility for 4 years and had 3 IVFs and never enough embryos for cryopreservation. I understand what you said about the pregnancy announcements of people who got pregnant quickly. I have also always been afraid of big meetings with friends (Christmas, birthdays, weddings). It is strangely reassuring that others feel the same way & you are not alone with it. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your dream will come true and I hope for a video in which both of you are beaming over both cheeks. Only the best from Germany ! Btw. I'm also hoping for a German version of "Little Dream", such a wonderful book! :-)

[@moniqueslatton6285]

Celeste your such a strong women that your going to be such a strong protective mother !! It definitely will happen ! Speak it all into existence! I just know we will be hearing about your BFP Lib. (Is it Lib or Liv)

[@TimandCeleste]

It's Liv. Yes, speaking it all into existence! x

[@janeowen266]

Why can’t we all have a ‘Liv’ in our lives. 💕💕💕

[@dianethornton9380]

Hope ur next transfer works u deserve it so much and what an amazing freind Liv is

[@TimandCeleste]

Haha we all need a friend like Liv in our lives! She’s such an angel ✨ Thank you, lovely one - I’m glad you enjoyed watching our q+a! ❤️

[@christykobelt3896]

Beautiful women. So inspiring. ❤

[@mfoth20]

I really hope it works for you this time. We can relate to liv and the epilepsy. My husband has partially controlled epilepsy, our eldest daughter has juvenile myoclonic epilepsy controlled .shes 10 and was diagnosed at 2 years old . The doctors said it was hereditary . We haven't seen any signs in our 8 year old thankgod. Your both have a fantastic friendship. Sending prayers x

[@katya8140]

Such a special friendship and lovely Q&A. I have a question for Liv. Is her Neuro involved in this process and did she have to change any of her AED? I ask because some AED are known to cause problems during pregnancy but then changing any medications is a nightmare for people with epilepsy.

[@TimandCeleste]

Thank you - glad you enjoyed! Yes, the medication she is on is safe during pregnancy x

[@kristinemendoza3963]

LIC, God bless your sweet soul. ❤️

[@veras7137]

Liv, you are awesome ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@andrealee8555]

Best wishes to you all ❤️ May the 4th be with you 😘

[@TimandCeleste]

Thank you! x

[@gabbyola973]

Celestie and Tim, I am earnestly fasting and praying for you guys. I believe this is your season and your moment. You have a wonderful friend as an angel, God sent to make this happen for you. I believed it is going to happen for you and I am trusting God to bless you with twins a boy and a girl. Believe it Celestie it will happen for you this one round. you will joyfully share your testimony. you are doing all your best to have your baby and I pray God will crown these efforts of yours with testimony and success. I am sure you deserve to have these beautiful babies and they are yours in JESUS NAME AMEN.

[@spicyella7367]
