It has been such a long and difficult journey to parenthood for Mo and Will. Little Magpie will be here very soon! So many of us in the blogosphere have been hoping with them through each cycle, cautiously celebrating each BFP with them, abiding by them through each heartbreaking loss. Then this pregnancy happened. We checked the blog incessantly whenever there was an ultrasound scheduled, when there was spotting, and now, as we await Magpie's birth. This is truly a time to celebrate!

As I told Mo, once Magpie arrives it's all about the baby. So I'd like to, in these last days of this much wanted, long awaited, miracle pregnancy, to celebrate Mo. I would love it if you would write your congratulations to their family, or maybe the best bit of newborn advice you wish you'd known, or the odd baby gear you found invaluable, or whatever. Please email them to me at dorasblog@gmail.com, and I'll post each one as its own post. Join me in this virtual baby shower to shower Mo with love.

From Gwinne at Something Remarkable

Mo, I have watched you from afar for several years now and could not be happier for you and Will on the impending arrival of your Magpie!  (And I DO want to know how you resolved the last name debate!).

In my experience, baby time flies much too fast, as opposed to infertility time which always goes much too slow.  It's something I think about during those 3:00 am stints in the rocking chair.

Another thought:  the baby gear that everyone says your baby MUST have simply never works for YOUR baby.  A good carrier--borrow some or buy on amazon so you can return easily when it doesn't work!--goes along way, though.  But, really, as long as you have a carseat and someplace for her to sleep, you're set.

I can't wait to read about your adventures on the other side!

best,
I dream of the one yet to be born. The one still curled
in my womb. The one who will open like a star.
