When I am getting to know a new blog, the first thing I do is go back to the beginning. I'm looking for that critical nugget of information, the pithy statement that tells me who this person is and why they are blogging. So here goes...
I am a 30-something woman (Christine) married to a wonderful 40-something woman (Sylvia) and we are embarking on the adventure of a lifetime: trying to have a baby. We don't know how it will all turn out or where we will end up, but we are holding our collective breath and daring to hope for a child to call our own.
For the moment, this blog is a place for me to remember things-- events, emotions, everything-- huge turning points and mundane details alike. I have a terrible (terrible!) memory. I have been through several incredible journeys in my life, each time neglecting to keep a journal or log, thinking "surely I will remember this always" only to have the memory whisked away by time and stress and new memories that seem to crowd out old ones.
But I don't want to forget this.
And so here I am, in this not-yet-public space, capturing memories. Some day I may make this blog public. But for now, it is simply this: a place for me, for my wife, for our Adventure.
