Welcome!

Hello to everyone visiting for ICLW!  My blog is typically focused on parenting after infertility.  I have a beautiful baby girl who is almost a year old (how the heck did that happen???) and a little two year old puppy who was, in many ways, our first baby.  It took us three years, one miscarriage, one chemical pregnancy, one surgery, and 6 medicated IUI's to finally bring our little Bean into the world and I just am grateful every single moment of my life.  I know that it's changed who I am as a person, as a wife, and most definitely as a mother.  I stay at home with Bean and try really hard to devote myself to her and my family in as many ways as I can, while still trying to keep a little bit of time for myself.  It's a balancing act and I'm still figuring it all out.  On the infertility front, we're starting to talk about the idea of a sibling for Bean and will probably be back at the RE in a month or two so that we can see what she thinks the process will be this time.  We're not totally ready yet, but we know that we've got to start thinking about it.  So that's my story.  I can't wait to hear yours!  Thanks for stopping by.

  4. It's amazing how fast they get bigger, isn't it?? I can't believe my son is almost two! We did IVF to have him and are now back at the RE's office hoping for a baby #2. I hope you enjoy your sweet bean and your second baby might come a little easier than your first!

  6. Happy ICLW! :)

    I admire that you're getting ready to head back to the RE. That's a day that I'm honestly terrified of at this point.

  7. You know, I can't say that I'm totally ready for it either. I figured a visit to the RE will help a lot though. It will help me see if emotionally I'm really ready and it will give me the information that I need to see if I feel like I can handle whatever she has in mind. So we'll see what happens.
