PSA: Carrot cake ice cream.

A few weeks ago, there was a poll or QOTW... I can't remember which asking about favorite dessert.  I remember quite a few ladies saying carrot cake, and I just had to share.

Ben & Jerry's has a limited edition Carrot Cake!  DH and I got it at the local Walmart.  It's actually caramel ice cream, with carrot cake pieces and a cream cheese frosting swirl.... Delish!!

TTC #1 since October 2008. Dealing with MFI.
IVF #1 w ICSI in July 2010 = BFN
IVF #2.1 in Oct 2010 converted to IUI = BFN

Met with new RE in new city on 1/31/11.
IVF #3 w ICSI in April 2011. HPT on 5/9 = BFP!
Beta #1 on 5/10 (10dp5dt) = 99.4. Beta #2 on 5/12 = 284. First u/s on 5/26. = Fraternal TWINS!
Twin boys born & lost on 8/16/11 at 18w1d due to PPROM & preterm labor.
