This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for the miracles of modern day science. Especially this one...
And yes, I'm thankful for my family, too.
Happy 1st Thanksgiving, Noah. Thank you for making me a Mommy.

My journey through IVF, FET, miscarriage, and motherhood.
About Me
- Lisa
- I'm Lisa. I met my husband, Brian, in high school German class back in '98. We got married in August 2004. We started ttc in July 2008, and welcomed a baby boy, Noah, in April 2010 as a result of IVF w/ICSI. We completed 4 FET cycles between 2012-2013 for baby #2, and succeeded once, only to find out we lost a precious girl around 8 weeks. We then got the surprise BFP of a lifetime on December 21st, 2013 and our daughter, Elodie, was born August 2014! We are so blessed!
