Aww girl, I feel for you...Zoey is sooo adorable!!!<br /><br />Aww girl, I feel for you :-( I really want your dreams to come true!! It's so hard feeling like nothing will work. I wonder about my eggs, too. I've been told before they might be bad. I also have a hostile uterus, so I don't know what will happen.<br /><br />Big hugs xoxo. I think international IVF would be great. Have you looked into New Hope in NY? I can't remember if I've mentioned it or you've mentioned it. Anyway, they have mini-IVF that's $5,000. I've seen other ladies have great success. That and with clinical trials - free!<br /><br />Praying for you <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906927928773766239.post-45583594786356527812012-10-12T17:40:32.407-07:002012-10-12T17:40:32.407-07:00Seriously adorable pictures of Zoey!Seriously adorable pictures of Zoey!JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400852355259918507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906927928773766239.post-81868563344178452472012-10-11T17:21:55.594-07:002012-10-11T17:21:55.594-07:00Thanks, Sarah!

I wonder where she received it from? I'm looking right now at my old credit union, with whom I have a positive history. I like how you keep your sense of humor with getting up in the middle of the night - that's one way it seems similar (dogs/kids) - they are relying on you and you just have to do what you have to do and try and keep your humor!Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711556288937525361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906927928773766239.post-73767631265496096582012-10-11T16:57:19.062-07:002012-10-11T16:57:19.062-07:00Zoe is adorable and I can understand how much havi...Zoe is adorable and I can understand how much having a dog has changed your life. I am sure it has challenges as you have stated but rewards too when you get to snuggle. <br /><br />Reg TTC, I am not sure what advise to give. I wish there as a simple answer, but only you know how far, or how long, you can take this, and I wish you all the very best in your decision.

I'm not pushing you to continue (I never want to do that to anyone because only you can decide how far you can go), but have you looked into financing. I remember one SMC a few years ago who received a grant for IVF. As for raising a dog, I definitely remember the puppy days. Because of health issues, the Diva still often wakes me at least once a night to go out. I just laugh and say that she is training me for sleep dep with a baby. I hope you find your way through this crisis with the strength that you have always shown. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906927928773766239.post-57027214548590764302012-10-11T16:09:31.288-07:002012-10-11T16:09:31.288-07:00Ooooo my goodness!

She was so full of energy and mischief and required so much of me, there were days when I didn't know how I would handle it. But you do eventually get into a groove and, although I know babies are different, I think raising a puppy is similar in a lot of ways to raising a baby. As Sarah said, you would be a great mom. We already know you're a great dog mom. :)<br /><br />I definitely understand being tired of the process, though. It takes so much out of you. I hope you find answers and clarity for yourself soon. *hugs*Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101535107377688458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906927928773766239.post-70524529756044358282012-10-11T13:56:26.128-07:002012-10-11T13:56:26.128-07:00My dogs are also prolific toy murderers.

I highly recommend the red kong (because it is super sturdy and if you put peanut butter in it they stay occupied forever), and the $1 rope toys from target (because they are cheap and fairly strong).Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04113533500702336140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906927928773766239.post-54987247862043800542012-10-11T12:38:50.099-07:002012-10-11T12:38:50.099-07:00I totally agree that raising a new puppy is like r...I totally agree that raising a new puppy is like raising a baby. Although, I have to admit I've never raised a baby before. But I have raised a puppy. And they are a lot of work. I definitely felt like it was preparing me for motherhood.<br /><br />And I love your photos of Zoey...keep 'em coming! :)samshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196929017759174547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906927928773766239.post-78102367226461809042012-10-11T12:37:28.764-07:002012-10-11T12:37:28.764-07:00I don't think that single parenthood is easy a...I don't think that single parenthood is easy at all, even with a four-year-old. Just remember, a lot of life is missing from those blog posts you read! There's a LOT I haven't posted about... The "can I do this?" talks with my mom, the crying I've done, the anger and frustration I feel, the humiliation when you're told your kid hurt some other kid at school... And there's more. :) It's really hard. But, it's also really worth it! <br /><br />I used to feel like maybe parenting wasn't for me, because I have a CAT who is a handful. So, I get it. You'd be a great mom, though, especially because you WANT to be. Hugs to you!Sarahhttp://thesunnymonologues.comnoreply@blogger.com
