Our Baby

My name is Danielle

This is my very first blog. I am not really sure why I am doing this and I am even more sure that no one will want to read it. I was inspired to start this blog by a wonderful person who has helped me though so much and she doesn't even know it. Her name is Racheous and I am eternally thankful.

I guess I can start out with alittle about me. My name is Danielle and I am 32 years old. It is hard to believe that I am so very old, but I am. I am not sure when it happened...lol. I have a wonderful husband, Robert, and we have been together for three years and married a little over a year. As for where we live, it is complicated. As of this moment, I am in McCurtain, OK at my mother in law's house. Robert is an industrial welder and we travel for his work for most of the year. So our "home" has been many motel rooms over the years. I really like traveling, although it can be lonely. It is hard to make friends when you are in a new town every month.

Our road to happiness has been a bumpy one. This blog will document our lives. I haven't had a journal or a diary since I was a kid, but I think it would be helpful for me. I have had a lot of difficult things to deal with in the last year and a half. The most difficult, by far, is having a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks in the latter part of last year. That is when I found Racheous. I found her vlog on youtube by doing a google search for "missed miscarriage". Every word she was saying was exactly what I was feeling. And although, I do not know her, just knowing someone out there was feeling exactly like me made me feel better. I have followed her vlog since then and if she ever reads this, I want her to know how grateful I am that she shared her story.

So....Robert and I have been trying to conceive again most of this year with no luck. My cycles are long and I don't always ovulate. I have been charting for a couple of months trying to understand what my body is doing. This week I have started to try a herbal supplement called Vitex. It is suppose to regulate my cycle, encourage ovulation, and basically just be a miracle. We will see. I can't wait to see if it works. I will let you know.

That is all I can think of to talk about for now. I will try to come back often and update. If someone is out there reading this and wants to ask a question or just comment it would be great.
