A little bit about us:

Hi everyone! Welcome to our blog! I thought I would start this blog for everyone to hear about our lives. As most of you know, Eric and I were married 5/14/05. We live in Lafayette in the cutest little house. Last February, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. It was the worst of the two types. Eric and I were devestated! When I went to see the oncologist in Indy, he told me straight up that I would have to have a radical hysterectomy! We were so upset because as most of you know, we do not have any children and having this procedure meant we would not have the opportunity either! I went to surgery on 3/6/06 and to my surprise, the doctor was able to just take out my cervix!!! Eric got to tell me that when I got back to my room at St. Vincents Hospital! What a surprise!!! My recovery was rough in the beginning, that is for sure. Eric was so great! He took time off work to help me out and to get me on my feet again. I don't know what I would of done without him, that is for sure! Luckily, I did not have to do any chemo or radiation so that was great news!! We were so blessed in every way! We have been trying to conceive but have had no luck. My OB doctor, Dr. Miller, left his practice to go to CA to do more schooling. I was so sad as he is the md that found my cancer. He referred me to a reproductive doctor in Indy who comes to the Women's clinic as well. We did 3 rounds of fertility meds and also artificial insemination. No luck, still not pregnant! We are both keeping our heads up and all though. I have an appt. with Dr. Henry(the reproductive specialist) tomorrow to see what he wants to do. Please pray that we get some good news tomorrow!! I would love to hear from people who might have been in my situation or people that just want to say hi!! I will keep you all posted!!

I know this is extremely hard for you and how bad you want children. You both are going to be wonderful parents and deep down in my heart I know it is going to work because it is meant to be! You were put on this planet to be a mommy!!!! I've always seen and known that about you. You and Eric are in my thoughts and prayers each day! Love you! Krista

Thanks for your comment on my blog! I feel terrible that here I feel sorry for myself and you've had to go through cancer! I'm glad you are doing fine now. I pray that through some kind of miracle - you will get to be a mom! It's hard to understand why some of us have to wait or it just doesn't happen - but I have to hope that God has a plan in it all!
