Just one more reason why Im glad to be vegetarian! Monday, January 03, 2011. Lessons of Parenthood- the first month. Never, ever lick what appears to be pumpkin soup off your fingers- in all likelihood it is actually orange baby poo. Bras are the perfect receptacle for catching the baby vomit that is sent running down your cleavage.

Sunday, May 29, 2011. Through another avenue completely I stumbled across my old blog. reread some posts and felt utter compassion for me then, the pain I felt, the trauma I carried. Wow - it was another time, another place and I can thankfully report that our prayers were answered. I thank God we are parents and we have a family.

The feelings and difficult emotions experienced, and the increasingly scary diagnostic and clinical procedures on the road to fertility treatment. Sunday, 19 December 2010. A birth, an update and an apology. I gave birth to a perfect baby boy on a misty morning in mid September.

Friday, May 26, 2006. Must come to an end. Time to bid a fond farewell to blogland and get on with raising the boy, looking after Hubbs, finding a house, working, spending money and spending more time writing novels.

There s life s up and downs . Just got back home from Barcelona. Went to an info session for adoption.

A bit late and in a hurry. Will it be a two, three year wait? From ivf to adoption.
