We're going public....

I bit the bullet and talked to J last night about starting a blog to raise money for our next IVF C....to my surprise, he was fine with it. And, he said he thought it was a good idea! I had drove myself batty about bringing it up with him, thinking he would say no{since we both hate asking for money and or help}. Whew, what a relief, glad he's on board! I didn't stop there, I talked to MIL today and before I could even finish telling her about it she said, she knew all of her family would contribute cause they've already said they want to help. Yay!

Now, I certainly don't expect to raise the full amount but whatever we could raise would be extremely helpful to us. And I think I am going to open a separate account(at a different bank) for the sole purpose of raising these funds. That way there is no way it could accidentally be spent on anything else.

I have a few more things I want to edit and then I will give you ladies a preview{if you are interested}. But before that can happen I need you to put on your best wordsmith-thinking-caps and help me come up with my first post...Mainly so it doesn't have "No Posts" visible when the page opens up. Just a brief welcome to the blog, post.

  1. Thats awesome.

    I'm diffiantly not good with wording... but you can state what the blog is and come up with a catchy catch phrase like contribute to making us 3 instead of 2.

    But good luck i think this is a fab idea!

  2. That is FANTASTIC, J!! I'm so excited for you :)

    For your first post, what if you just give a little background on what you and J have been through so far, how long you've been trying, how much IVF costs, etc. And then ask for their support, in whatever way they can offer it (e.g. monetary or emotional or whatever).

  4. Thanks for the help ladies. I have already added a blog description and an "about us" section that tells, well about us and what we're doing. I hope to finish it up over the w/end and launch the site on Monday. Can't wait to start raking in the dough! Hopefully! =}
