Why we choose to share

So I feel like I have been a bad blogger lately!!! Im not talking with you guys like I used to. I know you guys understand but I promise to get back into the swing of things!!

With that being said, my first blog post, unrelated to what cycle day I'm on, will be about why Wesley and I chose to reveal our pregnancy so early, why we don't regret it, and why we will reveal to the world our next pregnancy as soon as we know there is a little Pav in my womb!

Ok...I feel like when women reveal they're pregnant early on in their pregnancies, they get a lot of flack (maybe not to their face). And I am going to be completely honest..I used to think women were CRAZY for revealing it so early. I mean, WHY ON EARTH would you do that and then potentially have to go through the process of having a public miscarriage?! It's hard enough as it is, why would you want the world to know?

Then I started blogging our fertility journey.

Now I get it. 

It's not about me.

It's about the life I was carrying.

I would rather blog every second of my pregnancy and miscarriage than to hide a precious life from the world. I want the whole world to know that I was pregnant and that my child exists.

I got a TON of support from my readers and I'm not sure how I would've dealt with it all without you guys!

My husband is my other half. My rock. My everything. Without him, I would probably still be sitting in bed crying. He let me know that this isn't the end. Its the beginning. We WILL get pregnant again and we will bring a baby Pav into this world and we will be amazing parents!

I love how I am usually so positive, but when I can't be, he reminds me to see the positives and to look to the future. 

But there is a special place in my heart for my readers! No matter if I know you personally, if you found our journey on Facebook, or you stumbled upon my blog on pinterest...you give me support in a different way. I cant even describe it. 

So from revealing our pregnancy and miscarriage, I gained support from people that I didn't even KNOW before. Its just awesome.

But would we do it all again? Would we shout to the world that we're pregnant and then potentially have to tell them that we miscarried again? Could we go through all this publicly again?

Yup. 

100%. This next pregnancy will be just as much as a gift as the last and we want the world to know about it. We don't do it for attention...we do it because we refuse to hide our child from the world. 

Is this right for everyone? No. Not everyone is comfortable telling people that they are on their period, let alone that they made a baby with their genitalia! ha!

But for us...it is/was right.

So thank you guys for the

Positive thoughts and prayers!
