<p>My blog is currently in transition&#8230;like a virtual redecorating. &nbsp;My blog began three years ago to help me deal with my <a href="http://www.babydustdiaries.com/2006/04/cycle-goes-round-and-round.html">inability to have a baby</a>&nbsp;. &nbsp;I could have never imagined at the time the wonderful community &nbsp;that existed online. &nbsp;I&#8217;ve made many wonderful friends at <a href="http://www.cyclesista.com/">Cycle Sistas</a> and other bloggers at<a href="http://stirrup-queens.blogspot.com/2006/06/whole-lot-of-blogging-brought-to-you.html"> Stirrup Queen&#8217;s Blogroll</a>&nbsp;. &nbsp;They supported me when I had a <a href="http://www.babydustdiaries.com/2006/05/thin-red-line.html">rough cycle</a> and celebrated with me when I finally got pregnant and had my daughter.</p>
<p>whoa&#8230;getting ahead of myself!</p>
<p>In 2008, 8 1/2 years since my hubby and I started trying to conceive we applied for a grant with the <a href="http://my.clevelandclinic.org/ob_gyn/fertility/partnership_for_families/financial_assistance_for_infertility.aspx">Partnership for Families at the Cleveland Clinic</a>&nbsp;. &nbsp;Here is the<a href="http://www.babydustdiaries.com/2008/02/big-beg.html"> letter I wrote</a> that got us the money for our <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://draft.blogger.com/goog_1237512838491">in vitro</a></span><a href="http://www.babydustdiaries.com/search/label/IVF%231"> fertilization</a> cycle.</p>
<p>A little over 5 weeks ago <a href="http://www.babydustdiaries.com/2009/02/momma-at-last-aellyns-birth-story.html">I finally became a mommy</a>&nbsp;!<br /><object height="349" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/odq8N7u4x40&#038;rel=0&#038;border=1&#038;color1=0xcc2550&#038;color2=0xe87a9f&#038;hl=en&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/odq8N7u4x40&#038;rel=0&#038;border=1&#038;color1=0xcc2550&#038;color2=0xe87a9f&#038;hl=en&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="349"></embed></object></p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m starting my adventure as a mother! &nbsp;I continue to offer support to my friends in the trenches of infertility by volunteering at Cycle Sistas. &nbsp;I also love meeting new bloggers talking about <a href="http://www.babydustdiaries.com/search/label/attachment%20parenting">attachment parenting</a>&nbsp;, <a href="http://www.babydustdiaries.com/search/label/Breastfeeding">breastfeeding</a>&nbsp;, <a href="http://www.babydustdiaries.com/search/label/co-sleeping">co-sleeping</a>&nbsp;, green/natural parenting (including lots of research on <a href="http://www.babydustdiaries.com/search/label/Vaccines">vaccines</a>&nbsp;), etc.</p>
<p>Please Follow Me if you are on Blogger.com or leave me a comment with your URL and I&#8217;ll add you to my Google Reader for <a href="http://www.babydustdiaries.com/2007/03/blogroll.html">my blogroll</a>&nbsp;! &nbsp;Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the party!</p>
