Amazing Strength

I have to say I have been watching the new episodes of Giuliana and Bill and Giuliana is such an amazing person.  I so much admire her strength.  She suffers the internal infertility pain everyday, but stays so strong even when having to go face to face with her hurt everyday in her job and personal life.  I don't know if I could ever be that strong.  I love her positivity and amazing personality.  I read in an interview the show gave her a choice whether or not she wanted to document her infertility journey.  They told her that she could just say that she didn't want children.  Bill and Giuliana chose otherwise they wanted to document the realities of infertility.  She said it didn't feel right not showing the real side of life.  Here's a quote from the interview:

Giuliana Rancic: I understand that we’re all entitled to our private lives, but at the same time we really did see the value, early on, in sharing our story. And we realized that all of these women in Hollywood in their thirties and forties are running around with twins and saying, “Oh, twins run in the family.” They’re not revealing the real story and all of these women out there who can’t get pregnant feel like, “what’s wrong with me?” So I thought we had to show this. Let’s share with people that when a couple is having fertility issues, let’s make people feel better about themselves. It’s worked, because not a day goes by where people don’t come up to me and say, “Thank you so much for sharing your story.”

I know I always felt better watching them and the realities of the situation.  It always helped me to cope a little better knowing I wasn't the only one.  I wanted her strength.  They are such an amazing couple and I hope so much for them they can bring their little bambino or bambina into this world very soon.

Baby Bump

Yes I already have a baby bump at 9 weeks.  Not sure if that's a good or bad thing ;)  Obviously, I'm sure it's more bloat than baby right now.
