I started this blog back in 2006, when I first began treatments for infertility. At that time, it had been three years since we had started trying to begin our family. Once treatments began, it became clear that infertility was not a quick detour on this road of life; rather, it's a journey.

But at the end of it all, when those beautiful children finally come into my life, I want them to know that they were loved years before they were mine.

So, I am writing this for me and for them. And if it allows you to peak into my world, then that's good too.

UNEXPLAINED INFERTILITY

"You will come to know that what appears today to be a sacrifice will prove instead to be the greatest investment that you will ever make."-Gordon B Hinckley

Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them, and the fact that we wanted them a long time makes them all the more precious when they come.

- Joseph F. Smith

Faith in something greater than ourselves enables us to do what we have said we'll do, to press forward when we are tired or hurt or afraid, to keep going when the challenge seems overwhelming and the course is entirely uncertain.

- Gordon B. Hinckley

What we consistently desire, over time is what we we will eventually become and what we will receive in eternity.

Neal A. Maxwell
