Just caught up on your blog. So glad to hear that everything is going great and that you are finally a "normal" preggo! Congrats on graduation, that is great!
I'm 40 years old and had been TTC for about 3.5 years. We were blessed with our critter girl in Jan '11, and in the summer of 2012 had 2 failed FETs trying for #2. I'm married to my best-est friend Mr. P and we have one furry big sister (a.k.a. cat) Umps. I also love to cook, read about cooking and try new recipes.

I agree! Seems like the yucky winter months pass by at a snail's pace, and the summer months fly by. Can't believe it's already July!
