If you read my post about dancing to "This Will Be" you probably won't be surprised to learn that I relate every aspect of my life to music (and sometimes to movies).

AF made her appearance shortly after we got the call yesterday, so we're back in business. We go back to the doctors tomorrow morning for the next set of ultrasounds and blood work. I'm interested to hear what he has to say, but if I had to guess, he'll most likely make a witty remark about us being nice le...

Networking...

I found a site that might be useful to those of you whom are trying to conceive, thinking about conceiving, or are interested in what the process entails (for future reference). I even figured out how to link this blog to my baby center profile (getting pretty savvy, right?) Enjoy! GLBT Fertility (baby center)
