IVF #1 BFN... IVF #2 BFP! TWINS!
Twins born too early at 23 weeks due to incompetent cervix
FET #1, IUI #1, 2, 3, 4 - all BFN
IVF #3 BFP!!! IT'S A BOY! Born July 16th, 2011
FET #2 BFP! Due February 15, 2013
I did a pork tenderloin in the slow cooker with onions, carrots, red skinned potatoes and garlic. The "au jus" was a mixture of red wine, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, water, chicken and herb bouillion cubes, onion powder, and fresh ground black pepper.
It was SOOOO yummy! The meat fell apart on the fork. The veggies soaked up the flavor of the au jus. It was a big hit.
TTC 7+ years - 3 failed IUI's; not going the IVF route; stopped treatment December 2013.
Became licensed for Foster Care: March 2011 Adoption Finalized: December 2013

Tons and tons of wine.
And then comfort food. Fried chicken and mac and cheese.
Followed by more wine.
TI, IUIs, IVF = c/ps and BFNs
Love the pioneer woman.... everything I've made of hers is awesome! My fav right now is the grilled chicken with lemon basil pasta.
Veggies and hummus, then heading to a friend?s house for drinks.

I agree, but I have yet to win one of her wonderful giveaways...that makes me bitter lol
Pretty sure we're having meatloaf too- w/ mashed potatoes and green beans.
We were going to make it yesterday but didn't have time.
Vegetarian stuffed peppers. Filled with quinoa, tomatoes, and corn. SOOOO GOOD and good for you.
Later tonight, I'll post the recipe on my photo blog: https://christineteachesart.blogspot.com/
