I have a friend (well, they are a couple, but let's face it, the guy just gets to fill a cup and be done with all the physical stuff) who is in the process of in vitro fertilization. This couple is great and really needs to have a whole boat load of kids. They have taught all of our children so much (and we can't wait to repay the favor :) ). They have been trying for over a year now to conceive and have been to countless doctors and specialists. On paper, there is no reason why these two should have any trouble "being fruitful and multiplying." My heart breaks when I think about all they are going through, both physical and emotionally. They are both such strong people and I can only imagine the mental and physical toll this is having on them.
She has always had a crazy sense of humor and lets face it, the fact that he married her shows his sense of humor (seriously, I tease because I know they can handle it and will just dish it right back at me). She sent me this message last night and it cracked me up and I had to pass it along. I know the struggles they face are hard, but I am sure that with humor like this, they will make it through.
