First day of school !

It seems that I have been waiting so long for this day to come.
It didn't exactly feel the way I had expected it to.
Still though. GREAT day !

Make a video - it's fun, easy and free!

(note : the babies were not strapped in the stroller and left in my hot garage...and the fact that I thought of doing it and taking pictures of it does not make me guilty of anything...just sayin')

Journey to 5

Here is a quick history to our conception of 5.
6 years of IUI's (some fresh, mostly frozen) that included clomid, trigger shots, ultrasounds, laparoscopy to rule anything out, 2 Hysterosalpingograms - diagnoses : unexplained infertility. 1 miscarriage not pregnant long enough to confirm with doctors.
Continued trying with clomid. Did the clomid challenge.
Finally....pregnant.
Terrible morning sickness. Tired. Sore boobs.
8 weeks started spotting brown blood.
beta confirmed pregnancy and that numbers were going up.
11 1/2 weeks, lost all signs of pregnancy. ultrasound confirmed miscarriage.
D&C
2 more IUI's. 2nd with a new doctor who took me off of clomid to try a fresh cycle. told me I'd missed ovulation. chances were crap.
Jumped on a plane to Australia. pregnant. resulted in my oldest daughter Sydney. (yes, Australia was her name sake)
