Yes, I am thankful for my infertile friends. Of course I would not wish infertility on even my worst enemy but having friends in your life to share the biggest challenge we have faced to date is, in a word ... AMAZING!
We laugh together, we cry together, we talk about gross personal female things, and we pray for one another. We love one another through every new pregnancy announcement and Facebook news feeds filled with baby pictures. We help one another laugh at the comments that were said with the best of intentions but cut like a knife. Infertility is pretty private and until recently it was almost never talked about. Odds are you know someone who is battling infertility and if you are looking for ways to be supportive here are two awesome resources.
For those of you looking for a serious read please check out the
Dreaming of Dimples blog. There is a lot of good information here that will help you understand us difficult and complicated infertiles :)
If you have a fantastic sense of humor you need to check out
Maybe if you Just Relax blog.. Jennifer is hilarious and makes this whole infertility thing seem almost comical.
Back to being thankful. To each of my infertile friends please know that I LOVE and pray for you daily. One way or another God will answer our prayers and we will be able to switch to comparing hours of sleep, loads of spit up soaked laundry and diaper changes without being pooped or peed on.
I only wish there weren't so many miles between us :(
