As we get closer to Anna's one year birthday, I can't help but think back on our struggles to get her. I missed posting on National Infertility Awareness Week, but honestly, shouldn't we be aware all the time? One in seven couples will have problems conceiving a child. We were one, and there are many more who struggle. I am grateful everyday for my sweet Anna. Everyone deserves to be a parent who wants to be.
Currently, I have friends who are trying, but need to raise some money. Infertility treatments can be very expensive. Check out their video and donate if you can. Every dollar goes a long way! I can't think of two people who would be greater parents!
Also, if you have the time, stop at their facebook page and lend some support. We all know how much a kind word can mean on a bad day.
I am a contradiction. I listen to rap while I crochet. I am shy, yet loud. I can be empathetic, but also uncaring. I love with my whole heart, mind and soul. I stick up for those I love, and am willing to do anything to make them happy, even at the expense of myself. I am college educated, but don't feel as though I fit in with the "educated stiffs." I'd much rather spend my time experiencing life, than reading about it. In contrast, I read as much as I can about the world, hoping to one day experience it on my own.
