We have a 21-month-old son together, who we tried to conceive for 2 years before success. We are going for another little one right now, and face unexplained infertility issues, but we're confident we'll get there eventually! We are very active and enjoy going to our cottage on the weekends in the summer and watching our oldest play sports.
