All That She Wants: March 2010
http://thatshewants.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
All That She Wants. Life and love as a single mom by choice. Sunday, March 28, 2010. Boring Adoring Mommy Post. My mom left today, after almost 4 weeks! She was so incredibly helpful and made every single meal, did all the laundry, even stayed up with the baby some nights. And yet I already feel like I have more time now that she is gone! I guess more "me" time, if that even exists anymore. I'm afraid to jinx it by writing it down, but I think I have an "easy" baby on my hands! Thursday, March 11, 2010.

Diary of a Donor Egg IVF Girl. Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Transfer Day-It's a Beautiful Day! We had the retrieval on the 21st and have spent the last five days waiting to see how the embryos were developing. I wanted him to freeze everything that wasn't being transferred immediately; but they don't freeze until Day 6. All I could do was convey how important having frosties is to us. Gosh I really hope this works.Beta is June 5th. Cycle Tip: If having frosties is important to you, be aggressive, persistent, a...

Diary of a Donor Egg IVF Girl. Thursday, April 30, 2009. Last night I found blood in my urine and it sent me into complete and total panic mode. What now? My donor is scheduled to start her stimulating meds. On Monday and I'm slated to start Estrace. Next week too. The last thing I want is blood in my urine or anything else to happen here that could delay my cycle. First thing this morning I showed up at the clinic to have my RE check me out. It's a UTI. It could damaging to embryos during transfer.

Embryo Adoption: Where to start? Thursday, February 27, 2014. A trip to the emergency room. It wasn't due to bleeding or anything baby related, I don't want to worry anyone.

So there's my exciting adventure that took me into my next milestone.I'm 17 weeks today! Tuesday, February 25, 2014. What kind of mom will I be?

Empty Oven: 34wks & 35wks
http://aprilsemptyoven.blogspot.com/2012/06/34wks-35wks.html
Miracle baby arrived after 7 years, 4 IUIs, 3 IVFs and 1 miscarriage. Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Things I can't believe sometimes:. IVF #3 actually worked. We're 5 weeks (give or take) from meeting this tiny little person who's stretching my belly out to weird configurations. There's really a baby coming and it's ours. So a friend of my mine recommended a couple who do very nice work and they're coming Sunday. It won't be anything cheesy or silly, just us and this giant bump of baby : ).
