I think the most difficult part of getting started is…getting started! Will I say the right things? Will I be witty enough? Will anybody really care? So I’ve decided to simply jump into the deep end and begin to write. I mean seriously, what’s the worst that can happen?

Someone might actually read this blog.

Which begs the question:  Why blog? At first I really wanted to share my journey of trying to get pregnant after 40, thinking I would start a blog 3 months into my pregnancy because that’s the safe window to announce, “I’m pregnant!” to the world. But as the days turned to weeks turned to months turned to a year already on this journey of no pregnancy, I suddenly realized I could be waiting a long time to share my “success” story.  And what if there is no “success”? And what if there is “success” but it just takes a minute? And what if there might be some other women out there over (ahem) 40 who are also on this journey? Do you know how lonely this journey can be? I do! I mean of course my husband has been with me every step of the way. And my two dogs. And my cat. And although close friends are always willing to listen to my crazy, let’s face it. At the end of the day unless you’re personally involved or are living a similar story, this topic is bor-ing! So I’m writing this blog for all those women out there who are also lonely in their journey. And I promise to be honest. I may omit a few things here and there (nobody needs to know about that!) but for the most part, I’m really going to try to share the good, the bad, AND the ugly. Why not?

Nobody’s reading this blog anyway! 😉
