IComLeavWe April 2010.. my first!

This is the first month I join IComLeavWe (Great Idea by a GREAT person!!!) and as some of you might stumble upon my blog for the first time, I think it's easier to give you a "brief" introduction to my blog if you want the long one please go here... be aware it's long!!
I am 15 weeks pregnant and over the moon with this blessing. If people see me now they see an ordinary pregnant women. Of course they don't know that it took D and I 2 years and 2 IVF cycles to get to where we are now that we wanted this baby more than anything in the world and that we love this baby more than life itself. The most important thing is that we did get here in the end and for the last 15 weeks we have been walking around with the biggest smiles on our faces. We have been together since 2000 and this year on the 6th of October is our 10 year anniversary and then on the 10th we expect the BIG arrival. We wonder if it will happen on the same day as our anniversary.. or whether Peanut will chose his/her own day to be born.
So what stared off as a blog about IVF cycle number 2 has now turned into my pregnancy blog and the ups (there are no downs for me...yeah right!!) of pregnancy. I hope it provides hope to others who are still making their way in the land of IF.. I am sure I will never leave what has now become a really familiar world of supportive and super strong women and in a couple of years I hope and pray that in a couple of years I will be so lucky to be able to start this process again.

  9. Congrats on your pregnancy! I think people dealing with TTC issues treasure their pregnancy a little more than those who haven't. Enjoy every moment!
