I gave myself a mission to be kind to myself
I wrote about the deep pain of infertility
and it got a bit of attention

We visited Darwin and I am the biggest scaredy-pants around
march
I got crafty in the kitchen with easter treats (here & here)
I also thought a lot about finding a silver lining.
april
I decided I wasn't going to allow myself to feel punished by my body anymore
I also had a good reminder that we have more friends than we know
and then I thought it'd be fun to do a handmade christmas

My thoughts on motherhood
Our fertility specialist discussed what our next option should be - IVF

I call this month... nausea-fest. 24/7 nausea. but the BEST part of 2013 happened too.
