Home, Sweet Home
12Aug09
I have never truely appreciated the quiet tranquility of my home until this week.
I survived family vacation, and more surprising, so did my dogs and my brothers kids. Yes, Daisy may have barked every time one of the kids started to run/yell/walk to the point where the child(ren) started to cry, but the kids left with all their appendages, so I’ll call it a good week.
I learned that I want one, maybe two kids, but I don’t think I could handle any more, whew! I have a new found respect for parents of large families. How do the Duggar’s do it?

Hello!
My name is Elisabeth, and I am an infertility / repeated pregnancy loss “veteran”. You can read a little bit about me and my experiences in my (not very updated) blog: drhousewife.blogspot.com . I am completing a PhD in Counseling Psychology, and my dissertation is focused upon the impact of infertility on marriage. I believe strongly that there is a need for better support services for men and women who are undergoing IF diagnosis and treatment, and my hope is that this study will aid in the development of such services.
I am contacting you after stumbling across your blog. I am recruiting participants for my study, and wanted to invite you and your husband to take part. All that would be involved would be the completion of an online survey, that would take approximately 20 minutes. All couples who complete the surveys will receive a voucher good for a pair of free movie tickets at a Regal Cinemas.
Please let me know if you are interested! I have included the criteria for participation below.
Best of luck to you!
