I've gotten really into reading blogs lately. One of my favorite ones that I've been reading for a while is Jenn's Journal. I found her blog through her husband who is a Movable Type developer (MT is the web software that powers this blog. I love Movable Type). Anyway, she's been writing about her struggle with infertility.
Infertility is one of those things that no one really talks about. It's almost like there's this perception in the back of people's minds that infertility is contagious and if you talk to someone about it, they might catch it. Reading her blog has really helped me deal with my own struggle with infertility. That's the other thing. People think that when you have a kid you automatically snap back to zero, like you never had to deal with infertility and you'll never have to deal with it again. It just doesn't work that way. It's incredibly scarring. Infertility molds you and shapes you in ways I never fathomed before experiencing it.
Right now Jenn is expecting twins after losing two babies to miscarriage. It's strange, I know she's someone I've never met in real life, but I'm just on pins and needles with excitement for her. She'll be having two little boys.
