And so it begins

After several months of going back and forth about when to start IVF (In vitro fertilisation) - we have finally decided to start now.   We are going to REACH -- a leading clinic that specializes in treating infertility.   It has been a very hard time in our household as we are starting a journey that will with any luck permanently change our family forever. 

It is hard to imagine that all these drugs are going to be put into my body for the next month.


However, there is light at the end of the tunnel - my very good friend Krista went through this process, and now she is expecting twins.    Thanks to her for being such a great example.  There have been moments when I felt that I have hit my brick wall, but then I see that I am still here and moving forward.    We also really want to thank all our friends and family for supporting us.  Your smiles, friendship and laughter really do make a difference.

Here's for hoping...........

OH my - that is a lot of drugs - a little overwhelming. BUT, if anyone can do this - it is YOU!!! We love you both and know you'll sail through this trial like you have over the past few years!
