Amazing TTC stories

Did you see the story on the Today show of the Illinois grandmother (50) who carried her own grandchild to term? News is she is having a C-section today.  Craziness, how is this even possible.  The daughter had cervical cancer and couldn't carry a child. Dr's were able to save her ovaries, thus her eggs and with IVF, implanted an embryo into her mother.

It's amazing what doctors can do these days.  Heck, Celine Dion carried twins to term at age 42. Now that was after quite a few IVF attempts but still.

You hear stories these amazing stories all the time.. my aunt actually had a natural and healthy pregnancy at 42 (I think...Mom is that right?)

Happiness for Giuliana and Bill who delivered a child via gestational surrogate!  How exciting for them. If you haven't been following their story, Giuliana is an E! news correspondent and via their reality show we watched them struggle with IF, miscarriages and breast cancer.

Shows that we are ageless! If you have the money that is :D

Cheers.

Moms & Babies

For us IF's, Facebook and the Internet are scary places.  Everywhere we turn someone new is pregnant, someone who wasn't trying got pregnant by accident or better yet, someone on BC got pregnant while we are here having unprotected sex for years and no luck.  Sure we're happy for them, but it doesn't make our internal pain go away.

However, when it comes to moms and their babies, there are some strange things going on in the world. Of course, to each their own, but I had to share..

Alicia Silverstone (Clueless) blogged about  "pre chewing" food for her 10 month old, then feeding it to him like a bird.

 Mayim Bialik (Blossom) is looking to wean her 3 year old off of breast feeding. Hmm, I say if they have teeth or can say boob it's time to stop.

January Jones (Mad Men) made vitamin capsules out of her placenta which she has taken daily since giving birth. ewww

Like I said - to each their own - I am not judging, just providing a little lighthearted reading.

Cheers!
