I Always Knew I Might Be Infertile

On August 18, 2011 · 27 Comments · In Blogs, Coping and Emotions, Marriage, Premature Ovarian Failure, Reproductive Health

On June 21, 2011 · 27 Comments · In Coping and Emotions, Hope, Marriage, Milestones

Hey love.

I had a wonderful Fathers’ Day with you and your parents. I’m so grateful they don’t feel like in-laws, just extended family. I totally admit I was kind of bitchy all day Sunday.
