Happy, yet...

I am happy, I truly am! Knowing that I will be a mom next year, knowing I finally will have that much cherished child...But I still am hurting somewhere deep inside my soul. I still want to get pregnant, I still want to feel the child move inside my womb....Am I selfish? I am trying to hold onto my new year resolutions, and doing pretty well...But I think the realization that the pain of infertility is something I just have to learn to live it is setting in...

I still want a BFP I still want to experience m/s... So girls don't stop sending me those baby vibes...

My Infertility Badge of Honor

I was never happier to get an official certificate pronouncing us as infertile! But I am on top of the world.

We went to the adoption agency on Saturday. The Lady there was amazing! She explained the whole procedure. But she tried to discourage us from going ahead with the process as we have been married for only 3 years. We said a firm NO! We need to move on with life.

So, now we need to get the paperwork done. One of the documents the agency needed was a infertility certificate (stupid I know).And my doctor gave it to me!!! Things we need:

1. Health update by a doctor
2. Property documents
3. Employment proof
4. Salary statements
5. Bank Statements
6. Marriage certificate
7. 2 Recommendation letters (guaranteeing that we will make good parents)
8. Photographs (They will try and match our features with the child’s)
9. Identity proofs
10. Age proofs
11. Infertility Certificate

So we still need to get Health update by a doctor and 2 recommendation letters. Anybody out there willing to recommend us? ;-)

We should be able to submit the paperwork by next week. Six months from that time, we will have a home study and counselling. And another 6-10 months, we will have our daughter home with us! I am sooooooooo happy....

A baby girl 6-8 months old....

TTC Diary: CD 5 today. Am off Letrozole for the next 3 months and will resume after March. I still don’t know why i have taking the med in the first place. I have always Ovulated on my own!!
What if I conceive before the adoption comes through? We always wanted 2 kids :-)

A New Year, A New Life..

Happy New Year Everybody....

"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is

New Year's Day."

AF arrived bang on time yesterday. And am proud to say I didn't shed a tear. I am happy I have a tomorrow to dream about... As long as we have our dreams, our hopes, life is worth living.


Here are a few pics of people i adore...

Tuisha, Naisha, Aayan and Ananya -My Nieces and nephew












My Soul Mate







My family - greatest treasure

My Brother, my best friend with my nephew, the love of my life

These are the people who make life worth living. Their smiles make my day. A simple hello over the phone makes me feel in top of the world. I know I have a family just a call away. A family who have always stood together. I have not been able to add the pics of my three elder sisters and brother in laws. They are my guardian angels. I was 16 when dad died. My brother was mere 11. It was my sisters and BILs who held our hands and saw us through to the other side. I owe them so much, yet they expect nothing from me! I am truly blessed. They are my best Friends, my only friends...

PS: We made that call to the adoption agency yesterday. Time to seek a new direction in life. And here is to a new cycle.......
