Fri, 8 May 2009 After much deliberation, I've decided to have this be my last podcast episode. This was a hard decision and I will miss talking with you all. But it was getting harder and harder to do. Nap times are a time to get so much done--dissertation, cleaning, etc. I also had mixed feelings about continuing to do this podcast after kids. The last thing I would want to do is have someone search for an infertility podcast and come across someone blabbing on about her twins. :) I talk this episode about the kiddos turning one--it's a real time of reflection. I'm also getting ready to finish my PhD. So lot's of things are wrapping up--seems like a natural time to end this. I'm hoping to keep these podcasts up for awhile. I know the older episodes may help some others out--especially since there aren't many IF podcasts out there. Thank you to all who have offered support and words of wisdom during this long journey for me. It helped me more than you know. And to those of you still struggling, I hope you find your happy ending very soon--with the least amount of money and needles possible. To those of you who found your happy ending--I hope that IF becomes a distant memory but continues to give you the gift that it gave me--perspective and eternal gratitude for what I have. OK, crying as I write this and watch my kids play and laugh. Love to you all! Comments[3] |
Gabby, I will miss your updates on your life, but I understand your decision. Good luck for your thesis defense and your post-doc, and watching your kids grow and blossom. Thank-you for letting us share such a personal period of your life. I am sure that the record of your IVF attempts will be a great comfort for many women for years to come. I know that I will be listening to your old episodes again as I gear up for IVF#1. Hearing first hand from somehow who went through it all is a wonderful source of support.
I will miss your podcasts... any chance you'll just do some updated blog posts every once in a while about how the kiddos are doing???
