I was recently on Aly’s blog, The Infertility Overachievers, where she now writes about raising two IVF miracles. I loved her newest post The New Sound of Infertility because I have lots of similar thoughts. She also included a link to a beautiful song “I Won’t Give Up” by Jason Mraz that I wanted to repost here for my Blog Love post a day early. It really resonates with me and the struggles I’ve had with infertility. I especially love the part, “I don’t want to be someone who walks away so easily. I’m here to stay and make the differences that I can make…” because it stikes a chord with everything I am still trying to do for the IF community. And I love the part, “At least we did intend for us to work, we didn’t break, we didn’t burn. We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in. I had to learn what I’ve got and what I’m not and who I am.” It made me cry and smile so big at the same time! This just very well may be your new empowerment song! I love it!! 
So, in the words of the song, “I won’t give up on us, even if the skies are rough. I’m giving you ALL my love. I’m still looking up!” Have an amazing week!
Chime in on other songs that really resonate with you. I’d love to hear them!
As we wait for an adoption, Clomid, IUI, IVF or other type of cycle to begin, progress or be finalized, it can be very hard to play the waiting game. We can drive ourselves crazy with obsessing as many minutes as our minds take us there or we can distract ourselves just enough to get through each day or even each hour.

So I’ve been doing some bloggy house-cleaning and organized my sidebar! I’ve added a few things like a search bar and a list of “Favorite Stress Free Posts.” I’ve moved around some blog links (but there all still there), moved down my buttons and moved up the categories and tags. I think this will help navigate to other posts better.
