Well, let's start back with about 7 years ago when we thought we would be smart and plan when we would get pregnant. My husband Scott and I had finally reached a point where we thought it was time to start having children. We thought it would be good to have the child's birthday between our birthdays so we were shooting for sometime in March. So we waited until June of that year to get started. Well one month passed, then two, then three and still nothing. During the first couple of years the months were endless and I cried at the end of the each of them when yet again I was not pregnant. I bought books so I would be ready and learned alot of things about how lucky anyone is to ever get pregnant. There are just so many variables that have to be exactly perfect that when you get pregnant it is truly a miracle. Of course, these books are now gathering dust because I just can not look at them without wondering why not now. There are so many things that I want to talk about concerning my journey through infertility and they all come at me at once but I will try over the coming days to not rattle on without a topic. Just learn from this post that waiting is not necessary and there is never a perfect time to get pregnant. If you want children don't plan just do it! And if all else fails get a pet. After 2 years, I said let's get a cat if I am not pregnant by June. Well, we now have two cats - Sebastian and Cassidy (see pic). They are our boys and they have taught us how to accept change in our household. Hopefully they are preparing us a little for our future children.
