Alright, I know, I am the worst, (Emmi)

Blogger that is. I just can't keep myself motivated to write in it all the time. It is so much easier to record a video and upload it than to sit here and write. When I sit to write a blog, I dont even know what to talk about.


Well...we did go on a great vacation! Me, Jonathan, Jhielysa, Bobbert, and Chris all went to Gatlinburg and had a great time. On the the first full day there we went rafting, and much to my amusement Bobbert and Chris both fell out of the raft. :) We spent a lot of our time go karting and playing putt putt. But, one very important thing, the Ripley's Fertility Statues are on a world tour right now. ANDDDD they just happened to be in Gatlinburg. :D Of course we went there as well! It was over all one of the best vacations so far.

I have done nothing but work since we got back, but hey, it builds character right? Right now, just so you know, I am waiting on AF and I hope as soon as that shows up I have much better things to talk about. :D

Wednesday, I thought we were friends? (Emmi)

Let's start by saying this is scheduled to be the worst day ever. I am working for 2 hours this morning for my boss, to come home and stay up until noon, wake up Jonathan, and then he gets to wait for someone to come look at a puppy. Then take the puppies to the vet. While I sleep until 4. (We both work 3rd shift, by the way) So the deal is that we both get to sleep for four hours before we work tonight. And poor Jonathan is working 10s.

So, we are talking on the phone during his break, and then he goes "My car won't start." Wonderful. :( We are hoping its a little problem, and nothing major. We have a big trip planned for next weekend, plus the injectables next month. This is set up to be a tough month. But I am sure we can squeeze through it.



Ugh, this whole day sounds awful, and I haven't really started it yet.

It's Nice to Meet You!

Hello there! And welcome to our blog. Let me introduce us. We are Jonathan and Emmi. Met in high school, and were friends. Emmi went onto graduate in 2005, and we lost contact. Then after what seemed like a year that lasted forever, we found each other again in April of 06, and have been inseparable ever since. We dated for awhile, and then got engaged in August of 07. Then we got married a year later. We are one happy couple. I don't mean to brag, but hey! We have 3 beautiful dogs, and 1 hilarious cat. Our own little house. You know, the usual. Now, onto the reason for the blog.

This blog is intended to document our fertility journey, which started 2 long years ago in July of 08. We have always wanted a baby together, and as irresponsible as you may all take this we hardly ever tried to prevent the making of our future baby from the beginning, if you catch my drift. ;) Emmi always knew something was wrong, and her periods were never regular. In January of 07 she was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). It was one of the hardest time in her life, coping with the possibility of never having children.

We have collectively done 6 failed rounds of Clomid, and have even spoken to potential birthmoms about adoption. We have an appointment with our 4th doctor, and hope to start injectables. We want this blog to be here for our friends and family (and whoever else may come across it) to open their eyes to our experiences, and exactly what its like to be a young couple struggling with infertility. So that we can share exactly what is going through our heads. We can't promise every blog will be about baby making, but will either be from one of us or the other, maybe both. We want you all to see who we are, and the things we go through. Jonathan may make a post about his new favorite computer game, or Emmi may make a post about dinner. Just our lives in general. And then, when the soul of our baby finds us we are going to show you all of it. The good, the bad, the ugly.


We hope you all enjoy it.

And thanks for watching!

-Jonathan and Emmi
