Too much sharing...

Lately, Brian and I have been struggling about just how much to share about our infertility struggles and if it's something that we want to blog about at all. After going back and forth for a while, we've decided that we are going to continue to blog about all the ups and downs of it all. Here's why:

• It's part of our history as a couple. It's a story of innocence lost, but also a strength and determination that has been gained through our journey as a couple. We are different people now than we were before, and I think it is a positive change in many ways. We take nothing for granted, we cherish every moment possible, and we put ourselves, our marriage, and our new family first. We know what it is to struggle, to cry, and to want something so badly that comes so naturally to so many couples.
• It's a great way to be able to educate our family and friends about what we're going thru. So much is misunderstood about IVF and we hope that they can learn along of us.
• Someday, when our emotions aren't so raw, we will be able to use our story to help other's going thru simliar experiences
• To document our struggle, so that when the time comes to share our story with our children, they will never have any doubt about how much they were wanted! We want them to know that we were fighting for them before they were born and always will fight for them.
