To Tell or Not to Tell

When I started this blog, my goal was to be as honest and open as possible. Truthfully, it's kinda just my personality to be that way. It takes much more effort for me to withhold information or keep a secret than tell the world all of my personal business.

The other day I started considering how I would handle it if I did get pregnant. I had always thought that we'd only tell our parents until I was about 10 weeks along so that I was through the "most dangerous" part. At that time, I also figured I wouldn't even really know until I was 6 weeks along.

Now that I have invited you all in to share in our story, it's impossible to hide something that significant. You've all been there for me during the tears and frustration, it only seems fair that you should be there for the celebration.

So, I've decided that if the day ever does come that I get my positive, I will share it with you all. Knowing that things may still go wrong and I may quickly turn to you for support. With that said, it's been 1 week since my IUI so we have one more week to go! Keep your fingers crossed, the prayers coming, and positive thoughts flowing my direction...

  2. I hope you get your BFP. I pray for you every night. You deserve it. And as far as telling everyone goes. If God forbid something goes wrong it is amazing to have that support.

  4. One more week to go for both us to find out. Like my husband says "prepare for the worst, hope for the best". Praying for God's will for you! I can't believe how fast the 1st week went at least for me.

  5. You will get a BFP (if not this cycle, soon-ofcourse, I'm praying that it is this cycle!) and you must share! I've wondered the same thing as you because I do have some friends and family members who read my blogs, and I'm worried they will blab it or spread it on FB. I don't know what I'll do!

  9. Amber,
    I found your blog through Mendy's (we went to high school together), and I wanted to wish you the best and let you know that I am praying for you. I also have PCOS and had the ovarian diathermy (drilling) with Dr. H. He is just an awesome man and wonderful physician. I now have two beautiful children, Ana (2 yrs) and James (2 mo). I remember how difficult and frustrating PCOS and IF are, and I wanted you to know that I hope you get a + very soon.

Meet Our Little Miracle, Paisley Kate

The post I have been waiting 2 years to write is finally here and I can't really believe it. On Saturday, I woke up at 8:30 a.m. with BAD contractions. By the 2nd one, I knew I was in "real" labor. They were SO different than the braxton-hicks. I got out of bed and decided that I'd take a bath, until water ran down both legs. The pain after that got pretty unbearable immediately and I was having contractions every 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. So, I called Aaron at work to tell him it was "the big day". He decided I was kidding until I nearly leapt through the phone to wring his neck. :) We got to the hospital an hour later and I was dilated to a 4 and having very active contractions. They quickly got me moved to an L&D room. I got my epidural ( AMAZING - we'll talk about this in its own post soon) at a 6 and then my doctor broke my water. (Apparently at home, it had just leaked a pocket of fluid). After he broke my water, labor started picking up ...

The Resurrection

 So here we are.  It's now a blog graveyard.  The followers have long since moved on and infertility is something that I've somewhat put in the past (only considering I don't want any more kids).  So why am I here and writing again?  What's the purpose?   This was my safe place.  It was where I came when everything seemed much too hard and I needed to feel comfort.  I wanted to express myself in a venue that others would reassure me and even understand me.  I still love and have always loved this blog.  It guided me during some of the hardest years of my life, dealing with infertility and miscarriage. And you know... I guess it will help me again now.  Because life is freaking TOUGH.  You know the phrase "I've went through Hell and back"?  Yeah, I feel that in my soul now.  I could have a blowout in the middle lane of the highway during rush hour traffic, manage to pull over my car on the side and call for roadsi...

Santa Claus

I miss blogging.  It's just that I'm trying to minimalize the busy-ness in my life right now because the holidays always make me overwhelmed.  Like I get a bit crazy.  All the gift-giving, shopping, parties, family, friends, drama, food, etc.  Sounds fun to most people but I just do better with simple.   And that word hasn't described my life since giving birth 3 years ago.  Sooo, I go missing from time to time, but I keep up with everyone else's blogs!   This was my mom's attempt at a Christmas card with the kids.  It looks like they were decently enjoying it but the truth is both kids were having fits for absolutely no reason.  She used it anyways. My ornery little stud-muffin playing on the stairs. Graham having a VERY rare fit.  I had to capture the moment. Sweet sibling time in pajamas.  Times like this one melt my heart and make me feel good about my decision to have two kids. Graham was tota...
