I married my best friend when I was 27 years old. We always knew we wanted children, and even though we had been dating for 5 years and living together for a year and a half, we still wanted some time to together to be a married couple before we started our family. We spent some time traveling to New York City, bought ourselves a house and settled in to our new life. Friends started having babies by the truck load, it seemed every month there was a new announcement and after … [Read more...]

After having three babies in three years, it's hard to believe I was ever once considered to be infertile.
