I'm just happy I found your blog. Your writing has drawn me in from when I started reading you and you have made me think about infertility in a whole different way. And while I wish (and pray) with you that this was already a mommy-blog, I'm so glad you've kept on writing. Thank you.Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350800415772519653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-31832124950929764712012-10-04T15:22:52.775-04:002012-10-04T15:22:52.775-04:00Such a sweet post.

You have been such an encouragement and a source of comedic relief. :) It's awesome how many new friends you have made through this let alone how many lives you have touched of people who may never comment.

And congratulations on 500 fabulous posts! Now Where exactly are those margaritas?! Honestly, THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH for being open and honest, sharing so much of your life, the good and bad, and being a constant source of comfort and joy in my life through this blog. You are the reason I started my own IF blog because for a while I thought I was the only one. Turns out there are, in fact, a few of us. Thank you for giving us a voice!

As someone who is blessed not to have struggled with infertility, it is enormously helpful to have a window into your thoughts and emotions to allow me to be more supportive and loving to those I know who do face that struggle. Sometimes I find that I wish I knew better what to say or do.Camilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13274147156657711565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-36556094431398760792012-10-03T09:51:58.068-04:002012-10-03T09:51:58.068-04:00I was going to comment last night but I was readin...I was going to comment last night but I was reading on my phone, but it was too hard to type through blurry / teary eyes! What a touching post. Like many have said, when I found your blog I must have read for HOURS and found real comfort in your honesty, your strength, and your humor through such a tough situation! You were also the first person I randomly stalked and 'fessed up to, and I'm so glad you didn't say "leave me alone, crazy woman!" I hate what brought me to your blog, but pray every day that - very soon - we'll see some of those mommy posts you've been hoping and praying for!! <br /><br />Happy 500th post!!Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04828215436817989888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-6507759521674247862012-10-03T09:22:03.303-04:002012-10-03T09:22:03.303-04:00Congrats on your 500th Post!!Congrats on your 500th Post!!Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633616302598000329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-10450949356109650412012-10-03T09:04:58.293-04:002012-10-03T09:04:58.293-04:00Happy 500th!

You make me laugh, cry, think and everything in between. And while infertility is never good, I'm so glad that you are able to reach out to others and inspire them. And in turn, inspire people like me who aren't there yet. So thank YOU.

This is EXACTLY how I feel" and hoping he'd "get me" more. He didn't and probably thinks I'm uber weird when I share details of your life, but hey, I love it! Thanks for sharing and here's to another 500!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657607481465480125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-78654801354347280782012-10-02T20:50:32.030-04:002012-10-02T20:50:32.030-04:00raising my glass in a toast of "cheers" ...raising my glass in a toast of "cheers" to you and on reaching this milestone.

She can make me laugh hysterically and sob huge tears and I don't even know her!" That still holds true, by the way. You and your blog are what got me blogging! My husband even asks about you and Matt (yes, by name)to find out what's going on and how you both are. Although I hate that I found you through our common IF thread, I am so glad to know you in the blog world. I'm waiting for your story to take a sudden turn in the direction you want and will continue following as long as you are writing!The Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03728603454627130834noreply@blogger.com
