Pregnant after IF

PAIF Mommies (New and Old!) -- Nov/Dec 2021

I'm starting to feel less crazed so I thought I would try to pick this up! (I slept for 6 hours last night, woo!)

Whether you are a new mom or a veteran of pregnancy/parenthood after infertility, you are welcome to chime in!

The holiday season is upon us! Anything special planned or anything you are particularly looking forward to?  If you don't really celebrate, do you have any 'non-holiday' traditions for this time of year?

  • @mbradfo2 I'm going to join you here as well. I have 2 IVF babies (5 and 2). The holiday season is INSANE for us. We're Jewish, so don't celebrate Christmas, but we celebrate the New Year and per our slavic tradition Santa comes on NYE and brings presents, which kids are excited about. On top of that my DD is turning 2 on 12/11, then my mom's birthday on 12/29, mine on 1/1, DS on 1/5, DH is 1/7. It's ALOT! lol...I didn't really start gift shopping yet and not doing anything major for birthdays due to covid, so we'll just celebrate with our family at home. Just need to get my shopping started.
