Happy Monday! Yesterday marked the start of the 19th Annual National Infertility Awareness Week. Since infertility affects 7.3 million Americans (1 in 6 couples--and we happen to be part of that statistic) I thought I would write a post to mark this week.
We have been so fortunate in our journey and have had the most supportive friends and family. How they knew how to be supportive-- I have no idea how, they just knew! I know many out there are not so lucky!! Many out there have to deal with the myriad of questions-- invasive and sometimes ignorant. Resolve.org is an organization dedicated to infertility. For me-- it has been a great resource!
I came across this site last night and it touched me deeply. Whoever created it-- surely felt the pain and heartache that infertility can bring. I wanted to share with you all b/c I thought it was beautiful.
Thank you to all our friends and family that have supported us-we couldn't/ can't make it through this journey without you!

My mom is devoted to St Gerard. She had a hard time getting pregnant, so she turned to his novena... All 3 of her children were baptized with Gerard in their names (for us girls she picked Geraldine!).
I prayed the novena during our IVF cycles and during our adoption wait...
Good luck to you guys!
i'm so glad you have supportive friends and family, that makes such a big difference. hugs.
