You usually never realize when you are about to be hit with one of those “life changing” moments. More often than not, they sneak up on us, disguised as an unfortunate event, a bad day, or-occasionally-a happy accident that we just didn’t see coming out way.  Sometimes we acknowledge their life changing reality immediately, understanding […]

 A few weeks ago I wrote a post about how hard it can be to be overly excited for your pregnant friends when you yourself are having a hard time getting pregnant.

But that didn’t […]
