Hi, I'm new(ish)

Hey there,

I'm kinda new around here. I was a member of the Bump a while back when I was TTC after a loss. Now, about 5 years later, my partner and I are on the path to TTC again. We had planned for her to start trying next spring, but now our we're not sure since I recently broke my leg and all of my athletic plans for the next year are on hold. Maybe the universe is telling me to start TTC... 

Time will tell, but in the mean time, I'd love to be part of this community along our journey.

I look forward to getting to know you all!
