Over the past few days, Hubby and I have officially come out of the "IF closet". In the last few weeks we'd talked a lot about whether we wanted to tell our family and close friends about our upcoming treatments...or if we wanted to keep it (mostly) to ourselves. I think Hubby was a little more concerned about discussing it. I think he was afraid to get the "pity looks" and crazy advice ("Just get her drunk!", or "Just r.e.l.a.x. and it'll happen!").
Thankfully he understood why it was important to me. This is a huge part of our lives. It has been for many months now...and I hate feeling like I was keeping some huge secret from the people that love us the most. I also felt strongly that this isn't something we should be ashamed of. I felt that by hiding it, we weren't doing ourselves (or other going through the same thing) any favors. The people that love us will understand and support us.
After receiving phone calls and emails from our friends and family... I can honestly say it was the best decision. We've always known that we have an awesome circle of people surrounding us...but the love and support we've gotten in the last few days has been overwhelming.
<3 our friends and family...
