Welcome to my blog! I think it only appropriate to start with an introduction of who I am and what I hope to accomplish here.
After 4 long years struggling with infertility, 3 IVFs, and 1 IUI with help from a generous donor, my husband and I welcomed our first child into our lives on August 17, 2009. About a month before she was born, my husband had lapband surgery and we vowed to change our lives to be healthier role models for our children. In light of our success, and the pestering of my wonderful mother, I decided to start a blog to chronicle our journey and offer some tips that just might help other people too.
Being healthier parents means not only making better choices about the food we eat and our level of physical activity, but also devoting ourselves to continued education, and being all around positive role models for our children.
So, off we go!
