Hi girls!! I usually post on the Born in July board but I just found this board and thought I'd pop in! My name is Shannon and I'm almost 28 (on Wednesday!!) The beautiful little girl in my siggy is a product of IVF with a donor egg. I absolutely adore my Sarah and I thank God everyday for the woman who so selfishly gave her time and energy to make my dream of being a mommy come true. Sarah was born on June 30th. She is now crawling!!! We are so proud of her

I am a reading specialist and mostly work with 1st and 3rd graders. My DH and I have been married for about 3.5 years.

Well, enough about me! I can't wait to get to know you girls better

Shannon

and a great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday!!

I'm glad you found your way here, it is a very quiet board, but quite a few ex IVFers pop in from time to time with updates on their little miracles. Speaking of which...your daughter is adorable! You are right, she is beautiful!

Gosh is your life about to get REALLY busy with a little one already crawling (and pulling up and walking and talking just around the corner!). Enjoy yourself momma!!

I look forward to seeing you around and hearing all about your little girl and life as a mother.

oh, in case you haven't already figured it out....
I'm Jennette, and I live in Australia with my DP, Andy, and our precious just-turned-3 year old son Mason, who was born thanks to IVF and a very special sperm donor. Oh, and I'm a fair bit older than 28, but hey, who's counting

Nice to meet you. I just found this board myself. Hope to get to know you!

Hi Shannon, Welcome and Congratulations! Your daugter is such a little cutie! What a wonderful story!

Yes, things will get a little busier now that she's crawling, but I found it was mostly different, not necessarily harder.

I'm Mary, mom to 1 year old twin girls Mandy and Marcy. I work full time, drive an hour to and from work and drag my poor girls with me (they don't seem to mind, tho!)

And LOL Jeannette! I'm a little older than 28, too, but usually don't feel that way! (However, other times .... I might as well be 100!)

I don't get over here too often (I often get caught up in the mulitples board) but I am trying to spend more time over here, so I look forward to getting to know you better!
