Do you know me in “real life?”
If you are a friend or relative who has somehow found this blog... ummm... hello. I realize that nothing on the Internet is really private, and as long as this blog is public, I cannot stop you from reading it. However -- I did not start writing this blog with the intention that people I know "in real life" would be reading it -- and I would be grateful if you did not read any further. My blog is primarily about infertility struggles and life as Mom and in it I express my personal experiences, thoughts and feelings. This is my "safe place" where I can process my own thoughts and feelings. Also I may be sharing some things that are personal to my kids and I want their privacy respected. I would be very grateful if you didn't tell anyone else that we both know about this blog. Thank you for respecting my wishes and the privacy of my family.Hopelessly TTC
