Ona - I like the idea of re-introducing ourselves!!
i am recently 38, thought about being a SMC from age 32 (when i got divorced) but only thought of it as PLAN B as i thought i would remarry... thinking got more serious when i was 36, stopped dating, began reading more about SMC, joined SMC! began ttc LAST august... ON BREAK! i did see some chat about professions - i have a BA and MA, use neither. went to work for family when i began ttc, as it would allow for flexibility w/ doc appts... took huge pay cut, but have saved saved and saved so that WHEN i have my child i can stay home for one year. i could add more but that is me in a nutshell! planning on moving to ona's farm w/ all her animals to care for them when she has her baby... ok, that is plan C!!
i miscarried in august and am taking some time to regroup, let my hormones balance out. in the meanwhile i get to cheer on my SMC ladies!

and now, going to sleep!
UPDATE - regarding cousin w/ son who needs transplant - they had some more testing today, thumbs up, its a GO!
