Hello!

This blog is more like a diary for me. At least that's the goal here. I've been sad that I haven't been keeping a journal or diary since meeting my wonderful husband. I wanted to have something to always look back and see how our life together began. Then there were more and more things happening and I decided that starting up a blog to document everything would be perfect. I tend to be an open book in general, so you'll probably find you're getting way more information than you need. But that's why this is MY blog, right? I get to decide what to write, you get to decide what to read. I hope you find some entertainment, if nothing else, from reading about my journey through life.

Where do I even begin?

I'm not quite sure how I want to handle getting everyone caught up to my current life situation. I guess I'll just brief you on a few things and then I'll fill in some blanks as I go.

Things I'll most-likely write about in this blog will be:

  • My job - I'm a nanny for a great set of parents (both doctors), and their 3 children. I have a very hard time with the oldest child - a 6 yr old girl. The middle child (4/5 yr old boy) is a happy-go-lucky guy who is just starting to become a bit more aggressive and less fun and more work, and a 10 month old baby boy who is an absolute joy!
  • My husband - I've been married for almost 7 months! I got engaged to Ed after 2 months of dating, and we got married 8 months later! Fun stuff!
  • Our fertility journey - we realized soon after we got married that I was going to have trouble (mostly a hunch, really) getting pregnant, so we sought medical help right away. We were almost immediately sent for testing and I was diagnosed with a problem that needed only minor surgery, but would prevent me from every getting pregnant naturally. We were told right away (at our follow-up appt after all the tests) that our only hope would be IVF. We've since gone through one unsuccessful IVF cycle, and we're going to start our next cycle in about 20 days. It hasn't been too terrible (yet!), but having an outlet like this blog to chat about the daily happenings will be very helpful, I'm sure!

Those are the biggest things I anticipate writing about. Other than that, it'll just be about my life! I've been creating this blog for about an hour and 40 minutes (and reading old posts from my past blog!) and I really need to get some things done around the house. I see the biggest challenge being finding time to actually sit down and type. Currently, Ed and I are into way too many television shows. I'm going to have to weed out some of the shows because less reading is happening and I've never thought lots of tv was great. Somehow, I'm a total tv-head. I do NOT want this to be my norm. That being said, I'm going to try my best to get back on tonight but it may have to wait for Elijah's nap tomorrow. I'm thinking I'll bring the computer and type away during what I hope to be a 2 hr nap. We'll see. Goodnight, friends. It's nice to be back!
