***Twin fraternal girls born at 35w6d in 12/2008***
A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

Childhood cancer (DH) + chemo + radiation = 0 sperm.

Life is beautiful!
