Hi everyone - it's me. You may be wondering where have I been. Well I've been right here checking in on emails, but I lost my password and for the life of me could not work out how to get it back. So today I went to set up a new one and they helped me get my old password back. It's only taken me 2 months to get around to doing it.
Good to hear from all of you. Firstly and importantly - Kirsty have you got the dog yet? Also regarding IVF at Christmas. To be honest you so don't want to be doing it then. Get all the yummy food and alcohol out of your system - enjoy it - and then leap into IVF into the new year.
My big news is that we are 20 weeks pregnant
. I don't know if some of you remember but I had a miscarriage around November last year (bummer Christmas as you can imagine) and this year in May/June we defrosted the last of our eggs. One survived and was implanted and now we are 20 wks down the track. It's very exciting and very scary at the same time.
Chelsea you must tell us all about UK adoption it must be completely different to ours (or do I have pregnancy brain and you are using the NZ system). From what I understand it appears to be older children largely from different ethnic groups. Just interested to hear all about it.
Well I best get back to work. I am suppose to be working but hey some things are more important right.
We are coming up to our Adopted son's 3rd birthday (Jack). We are taking him off to Brisbane to celebrate it. I can't believe it has been 3 years since we got the phone call. We're planning to have an adoption day party (which was 3 wks after his birth) when we get back. We've been trying to explain to him about his adoption. We tell him he has a birth mother (who he has never met - short of birth) and he keeps on telling me - no your my mummy - it's all very cute - so much for trying to tell him about adoption via osmosis ah.
Wish you all lived in the Wellington Region (does anybody) as I would love to catch up with you all.
