I owe these boards so much. If it wasn't for the wonderful women on the High FSH and Over 40 boards, I wouldn't have two of my three DSs. Thank you, thank you, to all you wonderful women, and wishing that everyone's dreams of motherhood come true, no matter the path.

Hugs and love,
Meg

All your kids are so lucky to have you!! Because you all are the seriously the best moms on this planet!!!

I so appreciate all of the moms here. When I think back to just 6 years ago when I had no children; I cant remember how I spent my time.

Had a wonderful day with my own mom and my kids and DH today.
