My name is Stephanie. I am not a writer by any stretch of the imagination; however, I found that journaling my thoughts has helped me in ways that I hadn't realized before now. At the suggestions of some family members and friends, I decided to put it all out there for you to see. Some of the content is TMI - how can it not be when you're ultimately talking about s-e-x and making babies, so for that, I apologize. This is my/our story of how we're going about making our dream of starting a family a reality. Enjoy.
I have been married to Josh for almost two years (April 2010 will be our second anniversary) and we've been together for almost five. We met at work in 2004 and instantly became good friends. We did the "friend" thing for about 10 months before we decided that even though we worked together, we needed to take our relationship to the next level (at my utter delight!).
Josh got down on bended knee on August 2, 2007 and asked me to be his wife. I was completely surprised and without hesitation said "YES!" We were officially married on April 13, 2008 and had our wedding in Playa del Carmen, Mexico on June 8th of the same year. Both weddings deserve their own blogs - what a nightmare! - but I have neither the time or the energy for that! Maybe one day I'll write a book about it because, believe me, it's quite a story... But I digress...
Fast forward to January 2009. We began in ernest to try and get pregnant. Sadly we had a heartwrenching miscarriage in June. This was one of the darkest periods in our relationship. I still think about that lost baby on a daily basis. After the miscarriage, on the advice of my GYNO (who is AMAZING), we began seeing a fertility specialist in October 2009. This is our story...
