4 Years

I didn't realise that last week was my 4 year blogoversary !! If somebody had told me back then I would still be writing in my blog I would have thought, yeah right ! The fact is, I love my blog, I love that I can tell my story, I love that I can express myself, I love that you read, I love that you comment, I love other bloggers, I love my lurkers. I just love it ! I don't think I write well, that is why I never thought I would still be writing ....but I try and get things out there the best I can.

The reason I first started writing my blog was because I was feeling lost and alone. We had found out that Max was azoospermic and we were considering using a donor. Who do you go to to speak to about such taboos ? Male infertility. It was easier to get it all out here rather than to embarrass family and friends about such a topic. I found other people in the same boat I could connect with. It took a while to pluck up the courage to actually leave a comment on someone elses blog but soon realised that that was the only way other bloggers would also connect with me. They would read my story and feel less alone, we would learn from each other. There was and still is so much support it is amazing. Thank you to all for making my journey a little easier. I know I have lost some readers along the way now that I am pregnant. I totally understand that but I have some new readers who connect with the present and that is the way life goes. We all cross paths at different stages depending on which road we are traveling.

There have been a hell of a lot of ups and downs in the last 4 years with many posts written through the blur of tears but I have also shared wonderful times had too, usually by means of photographs.
My blog is no longer just about IF there is now pregnancy and cancer involved but it is still my space to come to when I am feeling lost and alone or just to tell my story, which is what it was always about. I am not sure where my blog will go once Doudou arrives, I haven't given it much thought yet. For now we will take one day at a time which is our motto in life these days.

My blog has gone through some make-overs over the last 4 years, this look is by far my favourite and I am happy for it to stay like this for some time.

I have met so many wonderful people through my blog, not only internet friends but also in real life and from all parts of the world. There are still so many of you I would love to meet and hope to one day.

I ask for one blogoversary wish from all of you and that is, please leave a comment. From long time lurkers, regular readers and those of you that have just stumbled across my blog, yes that means you ! Just pop in and say G'day.
