Our journey through infertility, failed adoptions and now parenthood through the miracle of embryo adoption/donation.

ICLW week!

Hello ladies! It is once again ICLW. If you are not familiar with it just click the link above for more info. Basically it is a time for fellow IF bloggers to unite, regardless of where they are at in their journey.

A little about me:

*I have been married for 12 years (this summer) and it took us 11 years to finally conceive.

*Both my hubby and I have infertility issues, all pretty bad ones too. (azoospermia, endo, blocked tube and mild PCOS)

*After 2 failed adoptions and 4 unsuccessful IUIs we moved onto embryo adoption. I am now currently 21 weeks pregnant with a baby girl.

*Though I am now on the "other side" I still suffer from infertility. It has shaped who I am and I will never truly be "over it".

And some other non-infertility facts:

*I am obsessed with purses!!! Love me some Coach and Dooney. Dream of one day owning a Jimmy Choo, Prada and a Birkin bag.

*I am a chubby chick. Fat and sassy would describe me!

*Finding bargains and sales are a bit of an addiction for me. A poor person's version of crack!

*I have two doggies and one kitty cat and all of them rule the roost.

Reading over this I sound kind of shallow! LOL Really, I am not. Well, not very shallow, just a little bit. Stick around and you will see that at times I can be quite deep and philosophical. But more often than not I just talk about me. Because I can. =D

  1. We can all sound a bit shallow from just a few facts! But you're not shallow. All dog people are wonderfully perceptive.
