why write a blog?

When I started to push everyone around me away because I was hurting so bad inside I had to start venting somewhere besides my husband and one faithful friend. I started this blog to just let me blow off some steam about how unfair this was. I started reading other infertility blogs and felt a bond, a sister hood. It was very helpful to see what others have gone through and made me realized I don't know how long this trial is going to last. I don't know when I'll hold my babies in my arms, and that is why I opened this up. We don't need to cry alone at night and fight our battle alone. Having this blog has helped me realized I can do so much more then complain. Although, I warn you I still have my angry days and vent, but for the most part this is a place to share infertility feelings. Please feel free to email: Aubs03@gmail.com
