I cried over some sippys. And by cried, I mean ugly-face bawled. Toddler B’s dentist said it was time to switch sippys. No more spouts, it’s time to move onto the big-boy trainer cups. In the dentist office, I was as cool as a cucumber. In real time, as I took the sippys off the […]

I’m not entirely sure how 8 years have gone by without your jokes, your laughs and by far most important, your love. You loved me like I was your own daughter and I will never ever forget the way that made me feel. Your son has provided me with a life I could only dream of - you would be so proud of him.

We are 20 months into our journey of trying to conceive baby #2. 20 months of paying attention to cycles, peeing on sticks and tracking ovulation dates. 20 months of ultrasounds, pills and aggressive injections. 20 months of terrifying procedures where they put you in stirrups and fill your uterus with a solution that produces “mild cramping” (side note… they lie. The cramping is 700% never mild, I digress). I haven’t written about our struggle with infertility in a while and the well-meaning yet insensitive, “Soooo, when are you having Baby #2?!” questions keep coming. For us, infertility isn’t an anonymous or taboo topic. It’s a topic that Hubbz and I are so open and honest about. It’s a topic that we must talk about. Too many people are struggling in silence and alone. We share our journey because infertility shouldn’t have to be lived in painful anonymity.
