I try to make sure that I write in my journal daily along with reading my bible. The past couple of weeks have been so challenging for me that I’ve been having a hard time focusing and even when I do focus, I seem to write the same thing. My last couple of entries have … [Read more…]
Well, we decided to go ahead and have a semen analysis done just to see if any progress has been made.
