Chloe~ Adoption through the state is usually free. We have a brother and siser that live next door who adopted 3 of their 4 kids through the state and they actually get a stipend every month for their care. Their eldest child was a private adoption 19 years ago...and it was only $2,000. How times have changed!
Rebecca~ Welcome! I've seen you around and didn't know you were a sister
. Always nice to have another on board! As for diagnosis, I was diagnosed through my symptoms first when I was 18...I've actually never had ovarian cysts. I did have the ultrasound, but they found nothing. When I was 22, I went to an endocrinologist who did all the necessary blood work and found that I do indeed have PCOS...but it's just bad enough to cause weight gain and furriness...and the weight gain led to infertility.
Steph~ You're fortunate to have a DH that doesn't mind all that action. Even when we were TTC, I never saw him "in that way" more than once a week. It's a wonder I got PG at all!! I've been told from other guys that once DH gets his vasectomy he might be more interested because he has to clear out the pipes. Somehow, I don't see that happening!
Asa had a rough day today. He was such a crank! Slept like crap, too. I'm hoping he was just having an "off" day and isn't coming down with something. I've been very fortunate this go-round. Josiah got his first cold at 3 weeks old, Dominique got her first at 1 month...Asa is 8 weeks old now, and nary a sniffle, so I hope this stays the trend!
