Endometriosis, Infertility, Miscarriage and Life in general
I am 35 years old, living with stage IV Endometriosis, possibly adenomyosis and struggled with infertility for almost 4 years. I also struggled with PPD and now struggle with PMDD. I am a mother to a son that was born at 18 weeks and too precious for this earth; and now a mother to a son born in August 2011. By journaling here, I hope to benefit both for myself and for others that are dealing with this disease and fertility struggles. Thanks for visiting!

The real deal
I never saw Wyatt's feet. All I have left are his foot prints. Our photographer sent us this sneak peek this morning of Connor's feet...oh how special it is!
LOOOOVVVE Baby Feet! Lisa's little Noah crosses his all the time while in his high chair. I have many, many pictures of his little feet. So nice to see you enjoying this little boy. :-)
This is the most gorgeous photo and the sweetest blog post. I thought I had commented on it but hadn't so sorry for the very late comment. I am just so happy for you guys xx
I started following you, I hope you don't mind. The story of your son is heartbreaking and I can't wait to read more. I have Endometriosis as well, and I'm looking to follow and have followers with similar situations as well :) Hope to hear from you soon!!
