First off...

Hello everyone out there!! :)  Let's start with some introductions!
If you read the about me section, you already know the basics, but we'll start there anyway! :)
My name is Kat, I am 29 years old, and I have been married to my love, J for 3 1/2 years. In 2 months, we will celebrate having been together for 10 years, and it's been a great 10 years. I don't know what I would do or where I would be w/o him. Now, to back-up a little; in February of 2001, my eldest sister gave birth to my nephew, A, 8 weeks premature. She developed preeclampsia and other complications due to undiagnosed Factor V Leiden. A is now a happy, healthy 11 year old boy, and she went on to have a second normal pregnancy w/ medication. Because of her experience, everyone in the family was tested, and my results came back as being positive and homozygous, which means I inherited the mutated gene from both of my parents. Due to this disease, when I get pregnant, I have to be on the blood thinner lovenox to prevent miscarriage and other complications. Then, in the spring of 2006, I was diagnosed with PCOS, and I was told it may be more difficult for me to conceive. J and I got engaged in August and knew we wanted to start a family, but decided to wait until we were married(what a concept, huh? c: )
 We were married in the fall of 2008, and it was the happiest day of my life. :)  This is where our journey begins, and where my next post will start. I have to give some back story before we can get to where we are today...I hope I didn't bore you too much!! :)
