This is my life.....(I'm afraid this one is going to be pretty generic since I don't know what direction I'm taking with this blog yet.) My husband and 2 little dogs, Harvey is on the left, and Olliver is on the right with my husband Mike.He is a good looking man! Isn't he?!? I quiver every time I see that smile and those deep eyes. (The husband isn't bad either 8>)) But in all seriousness I do love my husband more than words can say. He's a good smart man with strong morals. And it helps that he's handsome. :)
My dogs are both small mutts under 15 lbs. Ollie is 7 years old and I'm not sure about Harvey. Harvey is full of piss and vinegar and has WAY more energy than Ollie so I'm thinking he's around 3 or 4. I'll get into the dog story more later.
Mike and I met September of 2001, split up for about 6 months, and got married July 31st, 2004 after a tumultuous, drama-filled courtship. I guess the best relationships are the ones that you fight long and hard for.
I stay at home and my husband works for the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in a Juvenile Detention Facility. Big words for- kiddy prison. It is actually quite a fulfilling and rewarding job for him and I love the discussions we have about personalities and living environment. I am very proud of him because I feel that he has the strong patience to really help kids that have gotten off the right track.
We both love kids.... He is amazing and will make an excellent father one day. I feel that I have a lot of love and the morals to bring up a child in not a perfect, but a just and loving household. This has been my goal since I was young. But there's a problem........ No protection and no children..... ever.
Yep. We are infertile and for the longest time I thought that I was the problem. We have other options but we both really want a child together. I just don't feel complete. This is my quest and perhaps the reason why I have started on this journey.
So, I got a job writing articles about natural infertility treatments (which is kind of funny, since I personally am so far beyond what nature could help with!), but I was reading about supplements for men today. I don't know how bad off your hubby is (and please don't think I'm being insensitive, I totally understand when all the natural treatments won't do a darn thing!) but Horny Goat Weed (yep, that's what it's called!) seems to help with sperm count... Might be something to look into if it isn't a permanent solution.
ReplyDeleteAnd, your pup on his hind legs? Adorable!
Sarah, are you guys looking into IUI? It's the cheapest route and since you dont really have "the problem" it should work...I hate to think about it, and there's always the "what if's" but maybe just taking out a small loan or something?? Or a turkey baster LOL...then you can joke to your kid when it's a teen that you bought it or something...:O) You know i know how you're feeling. Anytime you need to talk i'm here :O)
