I'm a 43 year old female who is giving herself one last year to try and conceive and then calling it quits.. I can't speak of the IVF experience as I am letting the universe have it's course on my particular situation.. but viewing your IVF video was really informative, as I never really understood the process. You're a very strong woman! I'm starting to write a book on the my last year of "trying".. I say this in the loosest of terms.. as I'm fully aware of the my chances of conceiving at the age 44.. are slim to none.. I realize you are in the process of adoption.. but was wondering if you would consider being a volunteer contributor to my book, as I'm looking to track the lives of women who have come to the decision that they are not going to conceive.. and how they cope with it..<br /><br />I have a little call out on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1td75fHXWA.. if this isn't for you.. I would totally understand. If you know anyone who is in the same situation.. I would be grateful if you would pass the Youtube link on to those who may be interested.. <br /><br />I look forward to following your blog and sharing your little victories in life..<br /><br />: )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699072659992921489.post-17444876372154042142010-10-21T19:03:48.423-07:002010-10-21T19:03:48.423-07:00Hi!

You've probably already heard of her, but just in case you haven't, check out Bakerella (http://www.bakerella.com/) and her new book: http://www.amazon.com/Cake-Pops-Tricks-Recipes-Irresistible/dp/0811876373/ref=cm_cmu_pg_t. Tons of ideas for cake balls and cake pops!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564075022074996137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699072659992921489.post-58585930884560509382010-10-14T06:17:27.666-07:002010-10-14T06:17:27.666-07:00What an awesome weekend - all of it.

And like you say, I really think that going through one kind of pain makes us so much more receptive to others'. We can't say 'oh, that will never be me' because unfortunately we know that isn't necessarily true! I'm really glad she's got you to get her back.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09352341442556433375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699072659992921489.post-82704994721187670892010-10-12T10:24:15.539-07:002010-10-12T10:24:15.539-07:00Simply wonderful!

It's such a great symbol of strength and hope.<br /><br />As a Texan, I can't believe I haven't been to ACL. My hubby went to school there and my sister lives in Austin, and I have yet to make it.

I was so happy to see you all there! And I know it couldn't have been easy with all the kids, babies, bellies, and talk about all that (if I noticed, I think you might've too). Life has given us different paths- as sure as there is happiness there is pain too (a bit too much of it)- but we are all in it together. Sometimes that's what gets us through. Until we're all rooming together in the nursing home, right?<br />BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699072659992921489.post-40186726509083901112010-10-09T14:24:16.280-07:002010-10-09T14:24:16.280-07:00OK...I teared up reading your post.

So nice of you to take time out of your musical weekend to do that.<br />I'm jealous of all the music down there this weekend - I have friends in town who are going as well. But I did see Beach House and Vampire Weekend at Radio City Music hall last month and they were great. I hope you get to go again tomorrow!Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13713650431279472763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699072659992921489.post-12911624094861787612010-10-09T11:10:32.104-07:002010-10-09T11:10:32.104-07:00That's great that you are supporting a friend ...That's great that you are supporting a friend while in the midst of your own pain.
