welcome

My husband and I have been trying to add to our family since May 2008. Call me naive, but I expected to get pregnant immediately. What followed were months of heartache, letdown, and, ultimately, our struggle with infertility. This is our story.

What I write in this blog can get angry and emotional. For those of you who have never experienced infertility, I cannot expect you to understand what we are going through. But I can ask that you respect my emotions. Infertility is a life crisis. It is traumatic, painful, and a roller coaster ride that none of us want to be on.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you will stick around and read our journey. It is a journey that I hope will, someday, have a happy ending.
