Babies Survived the Thaw!
…and are growing nicely. Transfer tomorrow at 1:30PM. Please LORD let my babies come home into my arms! Thank you for watching over them and guiding the hands of the embryologists.
Read MoreDear Snowflakes,
You know I’ve written to you before when we were trying to get the Partnership for Families Grant for IVF but I wanted to write to you again on this momentous day. Today the wonderful embryologists will be taking you out of your protective cryopreservation state so you can start growing again and come home to me.

The family of blogging sisters is one of the best benefits of blogging and I so rely on their wisdom and support. However, I also want to be frank and honest and have a place to write out my thoughts. So, where to start? I guess a primer would be this post where I talk about our decision for me to work outside the home while my husband is the stay at home parent. In that I said, I’m...
