Finally,my own baby 4
I got married to my husband in 2006, and although we were both married as virgins, it took another nine years before we were able to welcome our first baby, and I eventually bore the name Mother in December 2015. That period was the most trying period of my life, and I learned several things. One of the things it taught me was patience and longsuffering; as I developed these qualities, they have helped me with other challenges in my life.

Finding another baby…
Happy Mother’s day. As promised, here is our first story. It is a story of a journey of secondary infertility I had a difficult time after I had my first daughter. Labor was painless, delivery seemingly simple but two days after I started bleeding. I ended up in the ICU with a number of complications. I came out of hospital several days later a completely different person. Looking back, the trauma I experienced dealt with me but I didn’t realize just how much. The first and obvious sign of trauma was my aversion to going through the childbirth process again. At least not for the foreseeable future. I had…
