I’m usually really excited about the holiday season but with the recent death of my sister, I’m finding it hard to be excited. She was at my house last Thanksgiving. In the midst of my grief, I wanted so badly to be pregnant so starting my cycle shortly after I received the news was also … [Read more…]
A few days ago was the worst day of my entire life. My baby sister was murdered…not sure how I’m even able to write this blog but this has been about me sharing my life and obviously, this is my life. She was shot during a robbery. This is by far the most devastating thing … [Read more…]
There are a lot of forums and Facebook pages for women who are having fertility issues. I’ve actually spent a great deal of time reading and even chatting in these forums. I’ve also been invited to some infertility support groups but just hadn’t gotten to a point where I was ready to speak so openly … [Read more…]

My husband ended up getting an offer from the company that he has been interviewing with. I’m glad he got the procedure done when he did because we did NOT expect him to start interviewing and receiving offers this fast. I guess this is what happens when you pray and ask God to open doors … [Read more…]
This has been such an interesting season of life for my family and I. We’ve been trying to get pregnant for about a year now and although that may not seem like a long time for some people, it has felt like an eternity for us. In addition to having fertility challenges, my job will … [Read more…]

The first day Stanley was really sore and one of the incisions seems to be draining more than the other but the nurse said that it’s normal. The urologist … [Read more…]
After taking a few months off from obsessing about becoming pregnant, my husband and I are revisiting everything.
