Graduation Day

I've had some time to do some thinking - which is always quite dangerous - and I've decided it is time to close this chapter of my life and move on.

I've always played the role of infertile girl. Even when pregnant, she was still present. My fear was evident. I couldn't let her go.

But now I'm no longer that girl. I have what I've always dreamed of. I've crossed the finish line and graduated from IF hell. My fear manifests itself in a completely different way now. It only makes sense to shift my writing to reflect this change.

This blog began as a sort of diary. A place for me to vent about TTC and loss. It was a "preconception" journal after all. I had no idea I would meet the fabulous women who also shared my unfortunate shoes. I had no idea that I was a member of a community of women just like me. Women who inspire and support me in good times and bad. I had no idea exactly how important this would become to me.

I don't plan to delete this blog. I'll never forget what I went through to get where I am. And I don't ever want to forget. I'd like to think that my experiences could help educate or inspire others who are beginning their journey. Maybe it will be a source of hope. Or at the very least, another voice saying "you are not alone".

So, it's graduation day. I'm moving on to the next phase of my life. Motherhood. Who knows what else is in store.

And I hope you'll join me for chapter two.
