Introducing myself from Minneapolis

Hey all!

I'm the 36 year old mama of an amazing 16 year old son. Spouse of six years to The Wife. Certified Professional Doula. Mama to two dogs and a cat. And now officially as of this morning Baby Oven to a sprouting little embryo. We got three positive HPTs over the weekend and confirmed with our repro clinic this morning with a beta of 156. Looks like it's for real! 

Now I start the search for a queer friendly care provider in my area. 

Can't wait to get to know you all.
