Profile

Lifeslurper resides in a big brown land called Auuustralia. Her early years remain a mystery cloaked in a veil of depression.

Age 42 Lifeslurper meets the vague but gorgeous Wobbles. “What took him so long to arrive?” She asks.

They make their way together in the world just fine, but are not fine to make a baby – not without some outside help. Enter ART and 2008 the year of 4 IVF cycles & one lousy big fat negative.

Lifeslurper is now 47 years old! Time for a baby is running out fast, so too is her sanity. Now it's 2011 - Lifeslurper & Wobbles have moved into top baby making gear. Donor Egg Cycles are the way to go, after a long pause to take stock after a glorious donor egg BFP & the subsequent loss. This year saw 2 cancelled FET cycles, & and menopause causing delays.

Where to from here? After 10 cycles Lifeslurper & Wobbles now await their WobblyBub who is due in May 2012 - actually make that...um....*sigh*...what's the point?

10/01/11

Today is your birthday.

I want so very much to share it with you.

This day had to come. Proof of all our labours. Our hopes. Our dreams.

Yet it seems like only months ago we were still searching for you, fighting for you, going to great lengths to discover you – when suddenly you were on your way.

We rarely speak of the joy you brought. Unspeakable. Against the odds. A blessing we had almost thought impossible.

How could you have known how much you were wanted? All the love that was yours? The devotion and pride of a waiting world, a loving family and two besotted parents. Yours for the taking. Nothing more, nothing less.

But it was not to be.

You stayed only five weeks and took something of us away with you when you left so suddenly.

It was real for a brief time, and too soon over. An early statistic, but so very real to us.

A transient existence. A permanent memory.

10/01/11 is your special day. Our one tangible evidence that you were, if only for a little while, ours.

Be Sociable, Share!
