oh joy, I wish you well for the dreaded TWW, don't give in to POAS (even though I have done numerous times, hee hee)


Lieve: our story and journey are pretty simple we didn't even get as far as tests or Biopsys for DH he has a genetic condition called Kleinfelters Syndrome which basically means his body doesn't and never has produced testosterone as he has an extra female chromosone in his make up so basically his testicals never developed past that of an infant so definately a big fat zero on the sperm count, we went through a period of grieving a counseller we saw explained to us that what we were going through was equivilent to the grief of losing a loved one and it took us some time to come out of the dark hole especially for DH who felt like he had let me down.
the turn around came when we saw our brilliant FS who helped put things in to perspective and DH came around quickly to the idea of using DS it is amazing how quickly your perceptions change when you are faced with no other choices and we began our IVF journey we started with IUI for 6-8 months (can't quite remember the time frame) which was unsuccessful and then moved in to ICSI my DD was the result of my first FET as the fresh transfer didn't work.
When DD was 1 we started back to try for a sibling and have had approx 7 FET one was my angel baby lost in Nov 07 and we are now expecting a DS, big brother for our little princess.
this is it pretty much in the nut shell!!!!


Well ladies it has been a bittersweet day today.....I am more than a little relieved to have finally finished work, don't think I could have worked the extra 2 weeks I was planning to if I tried.

Got home had take away chicken and vegies for tea then my SIL called me to tell me she needed to come up to see me and basically to cut a long story short, my mum was arrested and charged with shoplifting this morning!!!!!

I knew we would start seeing signs of the dimensia at some stage but was really hoping the serious stuff would be a little bit furthur away than this.

apparently she picked up 4 identical items and walked around the store picking the tags off them then went in to the dressing room and put 3 singlet type (tummy trimmers) on top of each other and another in her bag, and then went to leave the store.

My sil only found out incidentally when mum failed to arrive home in time to meet her as she had arranged and mum confessed she had been at the police station but it was "just a misunderstanding??????" My SIL went to get the whole story as mum had told her that they(the police) wouldn't allow her to call anyone (which we already knew was untrue) apparently this was the second time in 2 weeks where she had stolen something having stolen 2 pairs of knickers the week before from the same store.

The really sad thing is she genuinely can't understand that she has done anything wrong
so dad told her tonight that she would need to have somebody with her at all times when she goes in to town.

I know that the mum I have known all my life would be absolutely horrified of having done this.

Her condition basically effects the social part of the brain including the ability to determine right from wrong.....I guess I hadn't realised how hard this illness might be on not only mum but our whole family....I think I am still a little in shock.
Mum will have to go to court so I don't realy know what will happen,I just needed to vent this out in a trusted space
Well I need to go to bed and attempt to sleep as I am absolutley exhausted
love to you all Allie
