I'm terrible.) <br /> I am already thinking of #3 - and Sadie is only 4 months old! But I won't be ready to give up nursing any time soon either. Leah went 14 months and that's with trying to wean her for another FET. I'm encouraged by your wisdom though, in focusing on the children that we already have instead of the ones we may have. (I'm just not getting any younger. Lol) <br /> You've inspired me- maybe I'll get to update my blog this week. I so love hearing from my Bloggy friends! <br /> Congrats on two adorable daughters!

Your story gives me so much hope.

I have three daughters, two through traditional domestic adoption and one through embryo adoption, so your story touched me especially! I am just starting the medical and transfer process again to use our remaining embryos and have decided to blog my way through the journey. Would you add me to your list of embryo adoption blogs? I also have a match making service for embryo donors and hopeful parents, I have matched quite a few people in the last three years, and I think blogging could be a great way to reach out to many more people. Anyway, I would love to have a few friends out there in adoption/infertility/cyberspace land!<br /><br />I would really appreciate if you could follow me :)<br />Thank you!<br />Samantha Fife<br />www.blessedwithinfertility.blogspot.com<br />www.blessedwithinfertility.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002599529429040528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982682332312205751.post-27360225513628598412014-07-19T06:19:10.014-07:002014-07-19T06:19:10.014-07:00I know what you mean by busy and I'm one of th...I know what you mean by busy and I'm one of those bloggers whose fallen of the face of the Earth and I feel guilty for it however there just isn't enough time in the day!!<br />Would love to see pictures!!!<br />Exciting march will be here before you know it!!!!

I get so frustrated with people who say breast feeding is so natural and easy. IT'S NOT EASY!!!<br /> But it IS worth it. After a really rough start, I nursed Leah for 14 months and I am so grateful for that time. <br /> I'm hoping for an easier start with Sadie (due in 6 weeks!!!!) <br /> Anyway good for you - enjoy that baby girl!
