Fertility Update

Last year I over-shared that David and I were trying to get pregnant in Fertile Soil.  Well, we're still trying and this fertility business, apparently, can get a bit tricky.

At first, when we found out each month that I wasn't pregnant we'd celebrate with an "I'm not pregnant" cocktail (usually a greyhound) and toasted the month to come.

But now I'm tired of cocktails and ready to get this next chapter of our lives going.  We're staying positive and taking a look at medical options but that's the news for now.  No news.  And until there's something more exciting to report, here's a thought-provoking video on fertility/infertility.  It sheds light on this struggle many couples face.

  1. What a powerful video... It made me cry. I think infertility is overlooked by many people, and I'm glad you posted it. Sending you baby dust!
    Much love, Audrey

    Tried to get a google acct but something went wrong... That's why it's under "anonymous"

  3. Noriko, I send my love and magical power to you and David. Relax and it can work. One more tip: go on to www.babycenter.com Put in your your last period and they will give you the dates. Try it once and it may work.
