My name is Darah.
I’m
a 31 old year old wife, daughter, sister, friend.
 |
| That's me, at work, working hard! |
I have been married to my husband Jordan for
just over six years.
Jordan and I met
our freshmen year of high school.
Not a
day goes by that I don’t thank God for such a great best friend.
We have been through many ups and downs, but I could not have chosen a better partner to do life with. He is such an amazing man.

We have two little dogs named Bella Rose and Carter Bear.
I think they are the cutest dogs ever to walk
the Earth.

I got Bella when I was 22 and
living by myself.
She is such a little
diva but has been a really good companion. Carter, we got almost 5 years ago to keep Bella company while we were at
work during the day.
We thought they
would become great friends.
Turns out, Bella never wanted a friend. She apparently enjoyed ruling the house all on her own. Who knew!

To this day, she really doesn’t want much to
do with Carter.
They are complete opposites,
and for Bella, I know she has a love/hate for Carter….she loves to hate him.
Jordan and I bought our house in 2010.
We live in a suburb south of Denver, Colorado.
When we purchased our home, we planned to
fill it up quickly!
Nearly 5 years
later, our dream of starting a family isn’t going quite as we thought it
would.
Just this past September, we had
our first meeting with a Reproductive Endocrinologist.
After many doctor appointments, several vials of blood drawn, a few
ultra sounds, two
HSGs, and one semen analysis, the Docs have come to the
conclusion that I have a
low ovarian reserve.
The short and sweet version of my diagnosis is that my egg count compares to a woman in her 40s.
After listening to our options, and a lot of
praying, Jordan and I have decided to begin the journey of
in vitro fertilization.
This was no easy decision
for us and while there is no guarantee that we will get pregnant and have a
baby, we would hate to look back years later and think the ole "what if". So, we're going to give is a try.
I’m not starting this blog with intentions of it being all
about our infertility struggle, more of a journal of the path that gets us into
the future, a future God already has planned for us.
