We created this to share our journey.
It has definitely not been an easy one and I will update soon with more specifics.
I decided to share this journey so you can have a little insight into our lives as we continue down the path. This journey is difficult, but I would like to share anyways. 1 in 8 couples experience infertility at some point in their lives. My hope is to bring a little light as to how to support a couple going through infertility.
When talking to someone who is dealing with this keep in mind these things, We know you mean well but they may not come across that way.
- Asking if they have thought about this or that is not helpful... they have considered most options at one point or another, they may be still looking into them and need time to make the decision, or they are just not ready to talk about it.
- Asking if we are pregnant, Though I know you would like to know, it will likely just remind us that we are in-fact not pregnant. When we are, we will definitely let you know :)
- letting us know you are thinking about us, will make our day :) We love to hear we have family and friends close to us, supporting us.
- We would love to see your comments, Please do not hesitate to comment on a post. Ask questions, I would be happy to answer whatever you are curious about.
One last thing.
Though this journey is difficult, we believe that God has put us on this path as a blessing. Through this we have become a closer stronger couple, We have come to know God's character in a deeper light. We have also learned more about ourselves as individuals.
Lastly, we have NO FEAR that we will one day have a family. Its the journey to figure out when and how we will become a family that is the difficult part, and we would like to share that journey with you.
Hope you learn something from our journey!
