A miracle

She fits into our life the way miracles do: at first not at all, and then so easily, so certainly, that the ordinary life becomes miraculous.

Living with hypothyroidism

Requires a lot of patience,

until one understands what really is at play;

high doses of curiosity,

to read tons of information about your condition;

lots of time,

to organize a healthier life style and take all the medicines you need;

acceptance,

that your body may be a little bit slowly in feeling better;

trust,

that you will be able to feel well again;

creativity,

not to lose yourself;

hope,

that your condition will not limit your dreams;

a lovely husband,

that supports you all the way in what surely is a bumpy journey.

Star Hunting

Today I did something important: I had my first consultation for fertility issues. M and I have been open to the idea of having a baby for almost 4 years, but until now it did not happened. Life, as you know, have been busy for us… and only lately I have finally accepted that I have fertility problems and that it would be wise to get some help - a window that took us a long time and courage to open. I know this could be an unpredictable journey. But it feels like the right moment, and I do hope to have the strength, wisdom and love to go along this path. Today I told my mother, she understood how important this step was. She was happy. Me too. I told her not to broadcast it. And yet, a few hours later is out in my blog. Since it is an important step in our life, I just thought it would be nice to share it. Wish us luck in hunting our start!
