So anyways I really dont hold out on much with you guys, so im sure the majority have seen me post about our issues conceiving, well its been tough...specially having all your boys become dads, seeing dad threads on NT 
just flat out being 31 and ready and not being able to....but where there is a will there is a way, 7 months ago we got a fertility work up and I was diagnosed with the issue, apparently the percentage of actual good swimmers was pretty low, so chances of natural conception were slim to none...so the Doctor left us with the only choice of IVF (InVitro Fertilization) where the egg is pretty much taken out and fertilized outside with only good sperm, then placed back in. Thing is this procedure ranges anywhere from 15-35k 
we were on the low end of the scale, but still tough, specially being that my wife is unemployed. I was desperate and even hit up Meth about wanting to start a group fund raiser and posting about it on here....decided against it, did more research and i found out there are government grants clinics were given to help couples who met the criteria....something a clinic wont tell you to stash their money 
anyways, i brought this up and they had us apply and we were approved, so the 15k came down to 5k
and we took the plunge....we have a long road ahead and no guarantees but we are hopeful and wanted to share with the NT fam, maybe there are some other NTers going through something similar or considering it, in which case i can walk ya through what ill be going through.
To all you fellas out there with kids, God bless ya, you guys have no idea how lucky you guys are that can naturally conceive.....really appreciate that gift bruhs is truly priceless.
Wife and I decided to start a blog, she likes to write, i love to take pics, so we are gonna document the whole process, i mostly want to do it, in order to one day share with the kid or kids (hopefully) but i figure this can also serve as inspiration or hope for others, maybe even educational.
Maybe NT can help us choose a name if it works
