    Know how you feel. I have to remind my mother to stop spoiling the grandkids and spend on herself. I will miss out on that too.

    IVF #2: We have 2 chromosomally perfect embies as a result of PGD (Boy/Girl) 1 failed the thaw (Girl) Transferred 1, yet ended as a c/p
    Thought it was the end of our TTC Journey 6/20/2012
    SHOCK BFP 9/28/2012: IT'S A BOY! and everything is normal !!!!!!

    We went to a new vegan place that opened up, all Thai insipred. Delish!

    We then went to a dance thing at our local bus depot for LAX. They use the elevators, stairs etc and was very cool. I am not into dance but this was really different. Celeb spotting: Lindsay Wagner -  she is just as beautiful as she was 30 year ago

    Oh gee, thanks but living in my area there uses always something in going on and maybe the only silver lining being CF is that we can just do what we want when we want.
