In the beginning

Hello all-
I mainly am starting this blog because I know there are other womyn who want to be single mamas or womyn who want children that can maybe use my stories to start their own TTC (trying to conceive) journey. I know about 6 months ago I read another womyn's blog and that helped me...

This has been a 3 yr journey for me. For the longest time I didn't want children. In fact I was very much against it, but then I went to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. And as I was stepping onto the actual memorial it hit me- I wanted children. So badly. I can't remember the stats but something like 1100 young men (ages 18, 19, 20) died within 9 minutes of the Japanese attacking their ships. And I couldn't stop to think that these men wanted so much and they just never got that chance. And I didn't want to miss out on anything that life had to offer...

So here I am, 3 yrs and 2 months later, ready to begin my TTC journey. And as a potential single mama. I have saved my pennies, nickels and dimes. I have completed important personal goals and I have done the pre-req bloodwork/physical examinations. And while the pre-req stuff is just as meaningful I am afraid I am past that point now and dont want to write about it.

So welcome, I hope whatever words come are meaningful and can help you on your journey.

Let the fun begin!
