Purpose

As Carl and I have been seeking fertility treatment to try to have a baby, a friend suggested I start a blog. She was joking, but the more I thought about it I decided it was a good idea for two reasons.

First of all, I’d like to share our progress with a small group of family and friends. Some of the steps are complicated and emotional and this will allow me to keep those closest to us informed of the details as they unfold.

The second reason is purely selfish. The blog will be a journal for me to remember this time and the act of simply recording what I’m going through is cathartic.

I hope this record is helpful both to me and you, my dearest family and friends.
