Well, now

In 2008, after two years of failing to make a child organically, we learned the doom Kathy had already been feeling for more than a year was justified: I was diagnosed with male-factor infertility. Our only real chance to move forward would be in vitro fertilization. We couldn’t afford it; we couldn’t afford not to do it. One way we tried to work through that diagnosis, our anger, and our options was to start a secret infertility blog, “Less Than a Million.” This post and what comments from 2008 that are attached to it come from that blog.—gb


… where did you come from, little blog?

We haven’t disappeared. The past two weeks we’ve watched our local river escape its banks and swallow the local university whole. It’s only just now spitting it out—very, very slowly. Meanwhile, I was working overtime. But I’m on vacay now, and things are relatively quiet, and I hope to reserve some time to write in the next several days. Not that this blog is shaping up to ever be published frequently, but maintaining regular schedules is sound practice, you know?

PS. Pictures for the flood-curious.
