New Site

Well, I took a cue from several of my blogger women and set up a new blog for children updates. The address is http://www.babiesmakefive.blogspot.com/ . The main reason I set up that site was that I wanted to share pics and updates of the kids with my entire family but didn't necessarily want them reading about my trials in getting to this point. Everyone knows that I was dealing with infertility but most don't know the extent of our problems and I never really talked about my feelings or depression over our issues.

I come from a family of basically VERY fertile women, Mom had 7, two sisters had two kids but each were surprises, My one sister had only one child - she had a series of progressively bad miscarriages and eventually got her tubes tied. It may seem that I could talk to her about it but she tends to dismiss my problems because what she went through was worse - which I am NOT disputing - but it isn't something you really want to hear.

My husband's sisters also get pregnant very easily and have absolutely NO clue about infertility - if I heard one more time "Will you get on with it already!" I was going to scream!!!!!

So I will TRY to maintain two sites, one that is generic baby updates and one that really has my thoughts and feelings down - strange that I can express how I feel to a bunch of people I have never met face to face but not to people I have known my whole life!!!!

I am having a hard time commenting on blogs but I am trying my hardest - it will get harder when I go back to work - which is fast approaching- April 10th!

My sister's mother in law embroidered these beautiful blankets for the babies - they list all their birth stats on them. Take a look....










She also hand embroidered like 6 bibs for the babies - I am almost afraid to use them during a feeding - they are so cute!

OK - and one more parting note - my son Joey says that it is very hard work being a big brother - which I guess is why he fell asleep sitting in his chair......





I hope everyone has a good one - hopefully I will update more soon.
