I have to admit that I watched this the other night (couldn't sleep
), and am trying to fight getting pulled back in. I had watched it before because they lived in Chicago, they were cycling at FCI, had a m/c (all like us...), but then she just got to be too much to watch and I thought it was lame the way they played out their whole new house thing, when Bill was just flipping it to make another million $, though I do realize the show is just another vehicle for their self promotion.
Now they are seeing Sami David in NYC (like we did) and I watched it again last night. I think someone might need to do an intervention, I find her so annoying.
Why am I watching this? I loathe reality TV. Do you watch them? I think he's a decent guy, but I think she is terribly superficial and seems indifferent about making any sacrifices/being a mother. Anyone else?
Thankful for every day

I've watched from the beginning. I think a lot of the way she acts is in big part to her job, because she seems to have great, well grounded relationships with her family and friends. I respect both of them so much for being so open about every aspect of their struggle, including doing IVF and m/c'ing, and now possibly pursuing adoption.
I read an interview with her once and she said that she thought it was okay to delay marriage and family, because through her job she was always meeting celebrities who were pregnant in their late 30's and 40's. She said she was heartbroken to find out later most of them had done IVF and part of what drives her to be open about what they've gone through. I'm very interested to see how this new holistic approach with Dr. David goes this season.
April 2011: Metformin 1500mg + Clomid 100mg + Ovidrel + Prometrium = BFP!
