When I started this blog it was intended to allow me to vent and document my journey during treatment, I allowed myself to be very vulnerable in my writing which I am not in real life, I try to come off as having it together. When I started to get comments on what I was writing I felt that people understood my struggle and I felt comforted even though I did not know these people IRL, I felt connected to them... Of course when you have a blog like this and do not share with people IRL just the Internet world, I never thought I actually even met someone who reads my blog (my blog readers probably know more about my life them most people I know IRL - sad huh), but always secretly hoped I would meet some of the people whose blogs I read.
A few weeks before I had Camryn I connected with a Christy from http://www.challengethefuture.blogspot.com/ , she commented on a post I wrote and we realized that we live in the same area! We corresponded by email and decided we would met sometime after Camryn was born...
So here we are 1 month later and totally by coincidence she called me yesterday, but did not know it was me. She works for this company that allows parents to come test new baby products, I worked with this group when Avery was a baby and she called to see if I wanted to come in today to test another product (I am sworn to secrecy what the product is ... but it was so cool) anyways, as she is talking to me and taking my information she realizes that we know each other from reading each others blogs... OMG my jaw almost hit the ground, huge coincidence.
It was like we were meant to meet during this time, we were being put together for a reason... so I met her today and she is so amazingly nice and the crazy thing is we are so similar in our struggle with Secondary Infertility and with our lives. She joked today that her DH thought I was going to start thinking she was stalking me, but I was so excited to go today not just to test the new product but just to met her! I mean what are the chances!
I really hope that begins a great friendship between us. So glad we got to met today Christy!
OH and don't be jealous but she got to met Camryn today and even got to hold my little cupcake.
