Pregnant after 4 losses via IVF/FET with daughter "Gamma" (EDD Oct 2, 2019)
Favorite holiday: Thanksgiving. It is a special "holiday" season holiday, but doesn't have all the pressure of Christmas with the gifts. This is just more family & food, which is awesome!

Ooohhh... Fun!
Favorite holiday: I love Christmas! I love the smell of a real Christmas tree and that fuzzy warm feeling I get at Christmas Eve Mass. Next to that, Fourth of July is probably my second favorite because we have a family tradition of getting together at my parents' house to watch the fireworks go off down the beach.
Favorite season: Any time I don't have to wear a coat and boots! I live in Michigan and that is a much shorter time period than it is in other states! The fall is especially nice here though.
Best vacation you've been on, when and with who: We've had several but our trip last summer to Costa Rica was pretty awesome. We scuba dive with a group that includes some of my cousins and even though the weather in the weeks leading up to our trip made diving too dangerous for our tastes, we still had a fantastic time. We rented a house that had a pool and we could walk out the front door to the Pacific.
Are you religious/spiritual: DH and I are Catholic though we go through times when we're really good about going to Mass and times when we're not.
Do you plan on raising your kids religiously/spiritually: Absolutely. Some of my best memories and friendships started at church. It is an important part of who we are.
Favorite food pre-pregnancy: Favorite to eat daily - apple. Favorite to eat occasionally - spaghetti or sushi.
What room would you re-do in your house if money was no object: We've only been in our house for a year, so we're in the process of redoing our living room at the moment. I would love to re-layout the finished basement though. I would have divided it up differently.
Have you purchased anything baby related since you got your BFP: No. My mom knits and made the baby its first blanket already though.
Favorite color: Purple
When did you graduate HS? 2000

What room would you re-do in your house if money was no object: I'd re-do the layout of our upstairs. There's two bedrooms of equal size, one small bedroom and two bathrooms (one in the master and one in the hall). The master has a small bathroom and not a large closet. I'd love to be able to redesign it so there was more space.

Do you have a secret talent or skill: My normal body heat is my husband's fever temp and I can steam a car without even getting frisky...Haha, it's not always this bad - usually our weather vacillates between winter and spring temps for most of March/April/May, and it will snow and then melt over and over through March/April (and at least once in May) but we at least get some nice days/weeks. This year, not so much!!
We got married in early May 5 years ago and had beautiful summer type weather. This year there was still snow on the ground!!
