Two starcrossed lovers in search of a poopy diaper. Join us on our adventures through IVF, recurrent miscarriage, and finally...life on the other side as parents.
Holy cuteness, Mo and Happy 1st Birthday Miss Magpie!
As a long time (long time!) reader, it warms my heart to know all the milestones you and Will get to witness and embrace as parents to your lovely daughter.
Happy Birthday! What a gorgeous picture of a beautiful baby. Just wait and see how much more amazing this next year is - K seems to be more awesome with each passing year.
Congratulations on your beautiful daughter's first birthday. I've read four years worth of your blog in the last two days having stumbled across it after searching the internet for what to expect from a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy (which I had yesterday). I think you're extraordinary. In the face of repeated heartbreak and despair you write honestly and bravely and with sensitivity for other people's sadnesses. I hope hope hope that the commenters who choose to find negatives and criticism of themselves in your writing and blame you for it won't put you off, and that the person threatening to 'out' you feels like less of a threat now. Would you choose to 'out' yourself? Your story, your approach and your intact relationship and sanity are inspirational, and you've certainly given hope to this person struggling with unexplained infertility. At this stage, what would the downsides be of going public? (And I ask as a genuine question, not as a suggestion to do so). I'm completely delighted for you and your family. You're very lucky to have each other.
I am new to your blog, from Pail, but I wanted to wish your little gal a HAPPY BIRTHDAY. After all you have been though, I am so thrilled to see this little miracle growing and thriving. I am not a stranger to loss, but am happy to now have a healthy 10 month son myself. You are quite the inspiration my dear.
Wishing your family a Happy Thanksgiving and hoping that you can find a moment to update your adoring fans (realizing of course that life is hectic with a 1 year old!) Hoping that all is well!
Magpie is adorable! Happy 1st birthday. I am wondering if you have any advice or words of wisdom for weaning off of one breast? I think you did this several months ago. My daughter is 10 months old and I've been struggling with recurrent mastitis and constant milk blisters on my right side. The IBCLC I've worked with suggested weaning off of my right side and I think I will follow her advice. Just looking for any been there done that words of wisdom. Thanks!
How is she one already?? Congratulations! She is so gorgeous. I hope the first year was everything you thought it would be, and more. It only gets better from here!
We've been moving forward toward our donor egg cycle at what feels like a snail's pace. We found a donor we really liked, and w...

Mo and Will are a couple who traveled a much steeper than expected road to parenthood. First came love, then came marriage, then came 6 IVFs and 6 miscarriages. Fortunately, IVF #7 finally stuck in 2012. We are the proud and astounded parents of a 2.11-year-old girl and an enthusiastic boxer.
