I noticed the other day that there are very few good, close friends with which I have shared my struggles with infertility.
It almost seems strange that I feel comfortable blogging and emailing complete strangers but not some of my extended family.
I think it's because I have set certain criteria in my mind.
If a person meets any of these criteria, then I deem them worthy.
I actually find this practice quite ludicrous and intend to use this post as a way to expose my sillyness.
Here are the criteria that I can think of:
- A person is experiencing or has experienced some measure of infertility.
- A person realizes why having children is important.
- A person cares about me without reservation.
- A person full of faith and inspiration.
I'm sure there are more in my head. But those are at the forefront. I'm grateful for the people that support me through my treatments and struggles.

hi. i found your blog through "beyond the rain"
i just wanted to stop by and say hi. :)
your words are my exact feelings. not too many of our family members know our struggle as much as people/friends i have made via blogging. kind of interesting. though, how could i possibly talk about infertility with my insanely fertile SIL?
good luck in your journey to mommyhood! :
