About Me
Welcome!
My husband and I started trying to conceive in January 2009, and after about 8 months, we realized we needed some help. With did a few minor infertility treatments with an OB before moving onto an RE in January 2010. We were lucky (if thats the right word after 15 months TTC) enough to get pregnant on our first round of injectables with IUI. Now we are expecting twins in November! This is our journey to becoming parents...

Hi Lindsay. I thought I'd drop by and say hello. I just replied to one of your postings on the wte board and saw the link to your blog so here I am. I think we all have to try and find the humor in things that challenge us in every way imagineable. Keep your head up. Wishing you all the best!
