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 45 years old! Time for a baby is running out fast, so too is her sanity. What’s the plan for 2009? No one is really quite sure. Join Lifeslurper and Wobbles as they dither some more.

I can not blame infertility for my woes. However, the [...]

Remember I love you!

Last night Wobbles held me as I sobbed uncontrollably.

“Remember I love you!’ It was more emphatic than his normal daily declarations. This one served a more important purpose.

‘Remember I love you!’ His words acting like an invisible lifeline thrown out across the very short distance between us.

Things have been slipping lately. In the two weeks [...]
