Years ago, when I experienced the extreme sorrow of recurrent miscarriages and then later, secondary infertility, blogging was a very useful and therapeutic tool for me. Quality, private therapy was something I could not afford, so writing and sharing about my experiences was something I began to look forward to every day. I *met* many amazing women who were going through similar situations or life experiences and I never felt truly alone in the darkness.
So, here I am . . . now with a 9-year old daughter and twin boys who are 5. My family is now complete and I am beginning a new path and experiencing a new hurdle: getting my health back on track, becoming a "fit" mother and wife, and learning what it feels like to love myself again. While parenting has been the most wonderful blessing, it has not been without its challenges, some of which I have felt have broken me down to a low I was not used to. In the process of caring for three children while my husband has worked two jobs and I have worked full-time, I have neglected my own health in the process. It is very important for me to be a great example for my children and I realized recently that by NOT making myself important, I was not doing right by my children either.
While this blog is currently just for me, I am hoping I will begin to feel comfortable enough to eventually open it up to others and share my progress as I embark on this lifelong journey. :)
