Taking the Statistical Bullet: Show Tunes

Our Story. . . So Far

My husband and I endured nine miscarriages as we tried to build our family, becoming part of the 2% of couples who experience recurrent miscarriages. All of our friends had babies, so I used to joke, "It's because I am taking the statistical bullet for you." It stopped being funny, but it made a great blog title.

Through the miracle of IVF/PGD, we were blessed to finally welcome our son, William Patrick, into our lives on August 20, 2008. We were then given a second miracle and welcomed our daughter, Emma Grace, on July 17, 2010.

We're Celebrating!
