HI-
This is my first time on your site-I LOVE IT!!! Your home is gorgeous and boy do I need you to decorate my home!!! Your Amazing! Thanks for sharing your innermost struggles with fertility. I too had trouble conceiving my second child-it took over a year which seemed endless at the time. I went to acupuncture and by the second visit-I was pregnant!! Think about giving it a try-find a good chinese medicine/acupuncturist and good luck!!

Sadie, I just found you in Artful blogging. You could be writing about my life. I am a professional photographer. We purchased a home 2 years after we were married and began tearing it up and remodeling it. I had a plan about what should happen when but God had other plans. We waited 3 years to start a family but it took 5 more before we had our 1st daughter. I spent ALL of those 5 years making us miserable. Liz is now 19 and as I look back I wish I would have relaxed and enjoyed that time with my husband and our Freedom lol! My girls are wonderful but parenthood is not for the faint of heart. It is true that your anxioety can cause problems but try telling a desperate woman not to think about it! I will keep you in my prayers. I haven’t read your latest so for all I know you are already pregnant. I will pray anyway but try to relax and trust God. His timing is perfect. Take it from a woman who has been through a lot! Love your work and style.

I don’t know the particulars of your fertility issues but I hope that my experience will offer you some hope. After 5 years of trying and 6 unexplained miscarriages, I finally gave birth to the most beautiful, vital, and healthy baby boy at the age of 38 – without medical intervention. It was a struggle and heartbreaking and there were plenty of times I felt like giving up. I have since come to realize that everything comes in its own time. Enjoy the creative journey you’re on at the moment. There are plenty of chapters left and still time for you to have all of your dreams. Good luck!

Stop the world. Now.

Can I marry you and live with you in your white house? I can be a maid. Or your butler. I totally don’t care, I just want to live in your beautiful home!

Hi Sara -
What a sweet blog you have. I stumbled upon it – and am new to the Blogging world. Like you, I am struggling with infertility (for the last 3+ years) – and have used my passion as an outlet/distraction and have found my voice through the Blog world. I find your Blog inspiring, moving, vulnerable and real. It is so nice to “see” real life transmitted through the computer, and packaged so beautifully – even though we know it is a mess. You are a breath of fresh air. You are living in my hometown of OC – I live in Pasadena, now and I know “the OC” is in good hands with you & your family. All the best to you, I look forward to future posts….

Hi…I just came across your beautiful blog and read a little about you to realize that we have alot in common. I felt your anguish about trying to have children. I am almost certain I will never be able to have children…I have endometriosis and had major surgery that removed 1 ovary. I also just turned 42 last week and fear that I am having symptoms again. You are only 33 and don’t seem to have these health issues. Despite all of this, I am very happy and lead a full, blessed life. I am a kindergarten teacher and, perhaps, that is why I don’t feel an emptiness. I involve my husband in so many school plays and productions…it never ends. Sometimes we laugh and think, thank goodness we don’t have any children because we are so busy! We love to travel, and spend so much time with each other. I think we really have developed a much closer and deeper relationship with each other that only two people can experience. It’s funny because all of my friends have children, of course, and their children are growing so fast. They only stay little for a short time and then now I must listen to them complain about how difficult they’ve become. They are all teenagers that are only interested in growing up and beginning their own lives. My friends are experiencing a loneliness where they want to keep their family together but their “children” are ready to begin their own lives…a lonely feeling I’ve never had. Ironic.

I would love to have a child but if it is not for me then that is fine and I have accepted this. My grandmother always told me, “How can you miss what you’ve never had?” she’s right, at least for me. God bless you and may you find happiness. P.S. I have the let the maid clean it up mentality, too, and it’s so great when “she” finally comes.
