New Beginnings!

I stopped writing on the blog for what now feel like stupid reasons. Stupid is a word that I don't like to use because I am constantly telling my high school students to not call themselves or each other that. However, in this case I don't feel like there is any other word to describe my inability to write on this blog for 1 billion 7'ish months.

Reason Number 1: I have no time.
FALSE, I had plenty of time but I chose not to use spare time to blog.

Reason Number 2: Baby (or I guess the lack there of)
This is the most important reason for why I have been slacking. When I started this I had the idea that it was going to become more of a pregnancy blog than anything else. I have been following two amazing blogs Little Baby Garvin and Being Mrs. Riley for quite sometime now. Both of those amazing mama's started their blogging right before they became preggo. I guess I thought that starting a blog would mean that my dream would come true and I would get pregnant right when we began trying. I was so excited to start doing pregnancy chalkboards and nursery decorating. Unfortunately, that was not the case. We have been trying now since the beginning of February last year and although to some that may not seem like a long time... for me or for anyone else that has been in this position knows, it feels like an eternity! I wont bore you with my medical history of uterus problems dating back to when I was 13. We are now having some help from an AMAZING specialist team in Boston. I have been seeing them for years for normal lady stuff but now they are helping us in new ways.

So here I am writing again. It's time for me to realize that it is OK that it is taking us a little while to get the baby we know we are meant to have. It's good to write about the entire journey because there are many other women that are in the same predicament. I am proud to say that I haven't given up hope yet. Even though I cringe every time that I hear the words "infertility treatments", It doesn't get me down. After all, this is a blog about beginnings not just babies. I have so many other things to offer readers which is what I want to focus on. When I do become pregnant... well than that will just be an added bonus.

Well that's all that I have for now.
