ICLW and random stuff

Haha... so I signed up for this month's ICLW last night. Slightly behind on my scheduling there.
I still love auto-post now that I've discovered it.

For "newbies" the quick how-we-got-here rundown:
Hubby and I: been together since 1999, married in '06. Live around STL, but secretly wishing we lived closer to the ocean because seafood around here just isn't the best. (Well ok that's not entirely enough reason to move but it's still true.)

The "kiddo" history:
Anovulatory after BCP (so no use really "trying" so pretty quickly enterted the ART world)
Two rounds of just clomid = nothing / no cycle still.
Started with our fantastic RE and after 3 clomid/trigger IUIs and 2 injectible/trigger IUIs we had success.
Went in a week later for an ultrasound and, in a huge shock for us, we had twins.
Really bad m/s the first part, and with some concerns going on, spent the last 4 months on couch-arrest.
Girls showed up on March 24th and healthy enough went home with us two days later.

Fast-foward - starting to blog after all that jazz and it's pretty much on parenting, random sarcastic observations, some probably unnecessary complaining, and our two now about five months old girls, Allie and Audrey.

(They, I might add, decided last night that sleeping through the night is now for sissies. Of course I can't complain because hubby, sleeping in the guest room, heard them both times and got them back to sleep. I never heard anything except from our cranky cat)

Sadly I don't have any super new pictures so check out the previous post for a pic or two. Will try to get some over the weekend.

  1. I'm the slacker who isn't even participating in this ICLW. Hubby will be home this upcoming week, and I know I won't have time.
