3 kids in 3 years :p

This week has been a busy week. This is part of the reason I've not blogged in a while. Tuesday was our 3 yr anniversary! For those who don't know our story when I met Chris the last thing I was thinking is that I would be with that man for the rest of eternity. He was Mr. Cool with an ego and attitude the size of Texas (totally not my type I thought). I was Ms. Independent looking forward to moving and happily enjoying the single life. We had a LOT of fun together those first couple dates and even though we thought the other was totally not our type we continued to go out. One day I think it dawned on both of us that we were very much in love. It was weird b/c I always thought it would be a fairy tale moment but instead it was the slow realization that I wanted to keep being around this man. That he was a good, kind, fun loving, human who I didn't want to be separated from. If you ask Chris I was this quirky, opinionated good hearted, person whom he didn't want to be without. So we got married. Neither of us are perfect and we drive each other crazy BUT I can easily say we are madly in love with each other.




It is so funny b/c when we got engaged we knew we wanted children right away. So after we got married I started doing all the charting and stuff and realized I had infertility. I have a form of infertility known as anovulatory cycles. This means I don't ovulate on my own. I am really fortunate that I got such a clear and easily treatable diagnoses quickly. Each time we tried to conceive we only had to wait roughly 9 months. Many women I know go much longer trying... sometimes years. It makes me realize two things:

1. Is that we are beyond blessed. Anyone who is fortunate enough to get pregnant and have a child needs to realize there is no greater miracle. Enjoy every moment b/c it will go by too quickly!
2. There are so many who struggle with this. Be mindful if you know someone. Support them every way possible and be aware that talking about your own kids and/or pregnancies can be painful to others with infertility or those suffering miscarriages. Let them take the lead in conversations

I am so grateful for everything I have! I never planned on all of this but I couldn't be more blessed. It going through mild infertility, premature babies, and post-partum depression that help me realize even more how lucky I am.
