Well I have been doing a ton of soul searching these last 2 months. One thing I have decided is that I am done ALWAYS putting everyone's needs ahead of my own. I am also done with the thought of being almost 100% debt free before motherhood. I am in the land of....I don't give a S^!+! (well sorta anyway) My parents had me and hardly made much of anything at the time. Why, am I driven to believe I MUST have X amount of money to be a SMBC!
Anyway, I am officially going to see an Incredible RE (Reproductiv* Endrocrinolog*st) in March, one that WELCOMES 100% Single Women and Donor options! I am excited and resolved. No matter what else happens in 2009 trying to have a baby is #1 in my mind. It may or may not happen but it will NOT be because I didn't try! Ironically, we have quite a few RE's in my area...I am blessed. However, I came across this RE that is 2.5 hours away and something just happened....I mean I was drawn to at least have 1 appointment with the Practice. So, I am going forward full steam ahead. My appointment is in March, feel free to countdown with me on the right.
Hugs to all my Buddies still in the Jungle of TTC trying to decide and hope in 2009 that THIS is our year. Many folks were able to get their BP's and precious Babies but for the rest of us we are still.....waiting. May 2009 be the year that we get off this Ferris wheel and on to our next exciting journey!!

Congratulations. I am on the trip with you. I have my appointment on Tuesday with my RE and I am excited and scared at the same time. I still have fears of how am I going to afford this I need to find a place to live etc.
But to H**l with it this is what I want.
If Mr Right does come along he will be Mr Right as he will except me for me and who ever else is along for the ride.
Oh yes, girl- if you wait to have the money, you won't do it! Good luck with mamahood's journey!
I thought once I should be debt free. I now have more debt than ever. Oh well. Good luck with the RE, I hope it's the right path to get you to mommyhood.
And how'd you get your castle pics to turn out so good. The ones I've tried taking at disneyland suck.
I will be here cheering you on in 2009!
This is the year to knock teachers up in my humble opinion :) I'll be on the journey with you my friend. My next doctors appointment will be in February so we will do our journey together :)
So glad you're making the decision to forget being debt free to have a baby. I used to worry to Dawn before we started TTC but she'd always tell me we could keep coming up with all kinds of reasons to delay having or even to not have a child but all of those reasons would never be as important as the reasons TO have a child. She always told me that we can't wait until conditions are perfect 'cause they never are. Boy, I'm glad I listened to her. We scrimp alot more now than we used to but man is it worth it! Best of luck to you sweetie! Can't wait to follow along on your trip to mommyhood.
That's amazing that your not allowing anything infront of motherhood. Its going to be a great journey, and I'm glad I found your site to be able to follow your story!! Follow your dreams, and don't let anything get in the way!!Good luck in everything and may God Bless you!! :-)
