February 11, 2008 by Unknown

Patience. Patience. More Patience. Some dollars to throw at the problem. Oh yeah, and patience. Our journey to adopt began before we even had the Gaffer. One very short-sighted and pessimistic gynecologist told me I would never, under any circumstances conceive, and if I did manage to do so, … [Read more...]

42nd Street

February 6, 2008 by Unknown

In 2 hours and 15 minutes I will be 42 years old. 42!!!! I took 40 in stride. I even kind of embraced it.
