So, 10.5 months late, I should announce that our third miracle, Timothy Phoenix was born on November 15, 2017. He was born on his own terms, via VBAC two days before our scheduled C-section. He is our perfect rainbow baby. Came via a smooth, uneventful labor and delivery. Timothy (or T-bone, as Dad calls him) is a fat little ball of love, with an infectious laugh, a comical mop of dark brown hair, and the most irresistible pair of cankles I’ve ever seen. ❤ ❤ ❤
Here are a few photos that successfully converted to JPEGS (from Apple’s stupid new HEIC format…I’m going to go ahead and blame that for my slow post…):
C. Samuel is the perfect older brother. Patient, gentle and loving – which is a little surprising, given how energetic and crazy he is capable of being when he’s not tending to his brother!

/ October 2, 2018What a sweetie pie! I’m so happy for you — good to hear that all went well, and I’m so glad that you got your rainbow. I hear November babies are pretty great — hopefully I’ll be finding out for myself pretty soon. If you’ve got tips for helping big bro adapt to little bro, I’m all ears!

/ October 2, 2018Thanks! And congrats to you. 😊
We read books (I’m a Big Brother, My New Baby) and watched lots of Daniel Tiger season two (“When a Baby makes things different, find a way to make things fun!”) And hubby made LOTS of “big boy time” for the two of them while I was home with baby… But he always loved the babies at his daycare, so I’m not sure how much credit we can take!

/ October 5, 2018I was just thinking the other day about bloggers I follow who’ve drifted off into parenthood. You were one I was hoping was well and I’m glad to see you are. Your boys are adorable!

/ February 4, 2019So happy for you. Please tell me if you were still using those supplements (from your supplement list from few years ago) while preparing for all these IUI’s ? I am in the same boat (very low AMH) and I read that Dhea should not be used for more than 6 months,would love to hear your research and thoughts on that. Thanks

/ February 4, 2019Thank you! I did take, and am now again taking the same list. Hadn’t heard about concerns with taking DHEA for an extended period. I wonder if I should be worried!
Natalia
/ March 20, 2019I really don’t know for sure, I read that there is little chance of any side effect when used for limited amount of time (the recommendation was 6 months), but did not find proof for it. Since you are using it for such a long time without any problem, I guess you shouldn’t be worried 😉
Natalia
/ March 20, 2019By the way, did you do any diet besides the supplements?
