My new reading material

If you know me well, then you know that I love to read. I don't always have time to read as much as I would like to, but I still love it. Last September I started reading this huge, and I mean HUGE, book called Taking Charge of Your Own Fertility. It's a great book and I want to thank my good friend, Becky for insisting that I read it! The book sat on my nightstand for about 5-6 months and Chris and I both read it backwards and forwards. At this point, though, we are at a place where this book can no longer help us or offer guidance...so onto the bookshelf it goes. (I actually borrowed it from my friend, Jenna, but she just had her baby boy yesterday, so I don't think she really needs it anymore.) :-)

Earlier this week I was reading some blogs of other couples who are facing fertility issues and saw some great suggestions for books on infertility and IVF. So, I ordered three books from Amazon yesterday and can't wait for them to come in! I have to admit that one of the books I ordered was purely because of the name...IVF: The Wayward Stork. I thought that was such a cute and clever name for an infertility book so I decided to add it to my list! I hope that these books will give us some guidance on what to expect through this whole process. I'm such a detail person so it's very hard for me to just sit back and not ask questions and not be fully informed.

Before I go, I just want to say Happy Birthday to baby Aiden! Our friends, Andy & Jenna, had their little boy yesterday and I'm so glad that we got to go visit and hold the little guy! I always forget just how little they are. There's just something so sweet and precious about holding a newborn baby! Words can't even describe it!
