A Tale of Two Mamas

Trying to keep someone IN timeout

Our almost four year old.

It’s so hard to believe that Graem will be four years old tomorrow! Time has gone by so fast and with that I have so many regrets.

I regret the fact that I was so focused on getting pregnant that many times I ignored the needs of Graem to have a pity party for myself.

I regret the fact that I took my family all over the U.S. to try to get pregnant.

I regret not quitting corporate America sooner so that I didn’t miss out on the first six months of her life.

Graem is such an amazing little girl. She’s very VERY smart and along with starting to read she has a great vocabulary. The one thing that I love most about her though isn’t how smart she is…but that she is such a sensitive little person. She can light up the room with her smile and she’s the only person that can make Emmy laugh.

Happy birthday, Graem!

I love being your mama and each day you make me so proud.

As someone who has lived most of her life regretting her past, STOP, build up wonderful memories for the future.

Remember we can do ABSOUTELY NOTHING about the past, BUT we can live each day zeroxing in our brain all of the special moments of life.

Yes, Graem is so very very “special’ she can make grandpa and grandma’s day with a chatty phone call and a beautiful drawing received in the mail.

Remember Graem wouldn’t be the “most awsome” person she is without the molding of her two precious Mothers!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! GRAEM!!!

Congratulations to you! My partner and I just had a little girl 15 weeks ago — Madelyn — actually she’ll be 16 weeks old tomorrow. I miss her terribly but am thrilled that Jill can be home to care for her while I work. I do my best to look forward knowing that I can’t change any moment that has passed.
I happened to notice that you reference donor 2480…any chance you used fairfax cryobank? Hope you don’t mind my asking. Just curious as we used 2480 from fairfax.
Good luck to you and your family!
Wishing you a Happy New Year!

Am trying to reach Vanessa above re: donor 2480. I have twins by the same donor, born May 2008. Can you help?

Thanks,
