So...  a year ago today, we did our first IUI with my body... I wrote a blog entry about it... but then realized I specifically wanted to share it with my Bump Community, who I feel like are a wonderful safe space (both oldies and newbies and everything in between.)  You can read it if you are interested.  It is just amazing how things can change in a year.... its like things happen so slowly, and then all at once...

    Thank you all... It really means a lot to me!

    @herbabymama‌ : if K ever wants to chat, you know where to find me... And we decided to go with Baba just because it was that it is kind of becoming established and it felt cool
    to be a part of something.... Like maybe our kid would know someone else who has a Baba!
