Back from Hiatus

So I took a break from giveaways and my sad attempt at blogging for awhile. I was entering giveaways thinking if I won a diaper or two I could save it for when I got pregnant. Well now, "when" has become "if". In August, my husband (W) and I found out that we will have some issues with that. We just started seeing a reproductive endocrinologist and just completed our first cycle of clomid with an HCH trigger. I am very high risk for miscarriage if I do DO end up pregnant so I'm on a couple different hormones that are less than fun! As soon as I know more, I will share. Thanks for stopping by!

I promise to share!

As you may have noticed, when I find giveaways, I usually post them here to share with everyone (and it helps get me entries to the contests!) I haven't been keeping up on my cloth diaper giveaways and to be honest, the piece of me blog has been keeping me busy enough! She has 6, yes SIX giveaways going on right now! The one I just entered is for a 100 dollar gift certificate to Fill in the Blankie! If you haven't heard of that company, they sell beautiful personalized blankets. You get 50 characters of space on each side of the blanket to put whatever you want. I have noticed that they a "bad" customer service reputation on the internet but their facebook page shows that they are making great efforts in resolving both past and present issues so I wouldn't let other reviews discourage you, try for yourself! I know I will!
Here is the giveaway

Thanks again to Piece of Me blog, I found another cool shop online! Lime Ricki Swimwear! They sell the cutest, most stylish modest swim suits you'd ever see!

Who doesn't? As I mentioned before, I am obsessed with entering contests in preparation for motherhood, and mostly because it's fun!

I just entered the What to Expect contest on Haute Mom's blog! She is giving one lucky winner 3, yes THREE what to expect books! How exciting, go check it out!!

wow,

I've never had a blog before, so this will be a learning experience for me. I've been married for 11 months and we have been "lightly" (aka trying not to stress about it) TTC since day 1. We are planning to really try this fall but I'm hoping it happens before then. Until then, I'm just reading SAHM blogs, am obsessed with natural parenting and join cloth diaper giveaways in preparation for our pregnancy and in an effort to distract myself :)
