Take two

This is my second blog.

My first blog was started after I attended a conference where blogs were very high on the agenda. I didn't want to start a blog to do with my job so I thought that I would focus on something else that was important in my life. I had performed numerous searches on the Internet for ttc/if blogs and, at the time, wasn't very successful so I thought that I was entering a relatively small area. Later, I realised that there was a whole world of ttc/if bloggers out there, I just hadn't found them.

My first blog was created in June 2007 and lasted for about 8 months. During that time I vented a lot of anger (more than I vent on here), I was really struggling with ttc. The blog was open for all to read. I won't lie, at first I was quite nervous about writing about stuff that anybody could stumble across and read. I even remember blushing when my second or third post was commented on by a young lad who was amazed at what people write about in their blogs!

As my confidence grew I started to comment on the other ttc/if blogs (mostly American) and in return I received comments back. It was quite exciting to receive comments and I definitely miss not getting any on this blog. In fact, I have toiled with the idea of making it open again for all to see however, I am paranoid with a capital P and I am worried that somebody from work will stumble across it - crazy I know.


I can't remember why I deleted my first blog. I think I was having a particularly bad time of it and was just so fed up with the whole ttc/if thing that, one day, I hit the delete button. I wish I hadn't deleted it because it would be good to be able to look back and see how far I have come.

Nobody close to me knows about this blog, not even the husband. The husband knew about the first one and didn't think that it was a good idea so I have decided to keep this one as it is called. It would be good to get some readers and today I sent an invite out to a fellow ttc/if blogger (from the UK!) and I hope that she comes and visits.
