Welcome, ICLW!

It's been a few months since I did an ICLW, but I thought I should get out there again and find some new blogs to follow.

A little intro: I'm 26 (27 next month!) and have been married to TH since late 2007. He's Romanian, I'm from the midwest, and we live in our awesome apt in NYC. We bought last year, and I LOVE having our own home.

Our TTC journey is to your right, but in a nutshell, I have endo and it took us two years, 3 chemicals, 3 IUIs and 2 IVFs to get pregnant. And, as it stands, I'm 11 weeks today. We were released from the RE at 9 weeks, and our first OB appt is on Thursday. We're currently debating a doula, but TH is not completely convinced (that's a later post). I've been feeling the pretty crappy 1st tri symptoms, but this weekend took it to a new level. I'm hoping that the first tri just wants to go out with a bang. ;)

I'm referring to the baby as "he" because in Romanian, "baby" is a male noun. I just like that better than calling the baby an "it" all the time. :) I also think the baby is a boy, so it feels just fine rolling off my tongue.

I've recently been grappling with being a pregnant infertile. This seems to be getting easier with time, but sometimes it just jumps up and shocks me. I'm trying to work through it as quickly as I can so that I can enjoy being pregnant as much as I can. I keep hearing a little whisper that I may never have these days again, so I'm bound and determined to be present for them.

So, that's the abbreviated version of the blog. Nice to "see" you, and hopefully you'll stay and play! :D
