Starting a blog

After writing an email to DH's cousin last night (the one who suffered through IF and has been super supportive of us,) I decided that I want to finally start a blog about this process. Once I get my first post up and running, I'll put the info up here. I will be keeping it private though, so I'll figure out how that works.

Also, I have another blog through wordpress and am nervous that these could somehow be connected. Does anyone know anything about wordpress or tracking usernames?

    I don't know the answer to your question, but I was just thinking about this last night! I feel like I should document all of this somehow, so my future child(ren) can know what it took to have them and how much we wanted them. But I'm afraid it'll suck. LOL!

    I wouldn't even know where to begin, but I would totally read yours R&T!

    I'm rather loquacious when it comes to writing--which is why I have so much trouble keeping my other blog updated. It's a LOT of work! I think it will be therapeutic though. Besides, I've wanted to blog other periods of my life and haven't done so. I feel like I'd be bummed if I didn't do this.

    I am a frequent blogger and I have to say that it has been very therapeutic. Good luck with yours!

    I love blogging, but I don't particularly care to share my IF process with the people I know IRL. I plan to keep a handwritten journal about it. Just gotta start...
