Infertility and Pregnancy Loss support and information

Hey gals, this is a personal note from me. I have not had the pleasure of meeting all of you personally that follow this blog but I want to put this out there. I have been contacted by several wonderful girls that are going through the nightmare/rollcoaster of infertility and pregnancy loss. I just want to tell anyone who needs it, I am available to talk about anything at all concerning either subject. I am infertility and multiple miscarriage survivor and I know what a silent and lonely struggle both can be. I am putting this out there because since being in contact with several of our sisters about what they are going throw helps renew my strength after our long journey to parenthood! I always joke with people that used to ask Preston and I when we were having a baby already??? I would answer it is not as easy as it looks!!!

As information, Preston and I tried to have a baby for 5 years and endured surgeries, procedures, tests, losses and endless waiting before we finally got and stayed pregnant (with massive medical assistance) with our first, Kaiya, who's name means "long awaited child". Along the way we have lost three babies (before and after successful pregnancies)and also had our sweet Cassie with no medical help at all. I am saying all this to say - you are not alone, and I would be more then happy to help with questions or just discuss fears, or even just talk a bit, I also will add some websites to look at if you need them. But always feel free to email me about anything! Just email the blog directly and I will email you back, confidentiality assured.

Also - here are some websites that have been helpful for me in the past:
