I am officially in love with the Amherst Baby Crib by Baby Craft. It’s beautiful and made in the USA! Can’t go wrong with that. And it’s affordable. Pinch me.

Being a bit of a greenie, I was incredibly pleased to come across this article posted/written by Amybee on Babies Online: The Blog, which outlines a new company, TerraCycle, and their efforts to keep certain items (empty juice boxes, yogurt cups, energy bar wrappers, granola bags, pop bottles, etc.) from filling our already overflowing landfills by repurposing them in ingenious ways. Check out both websites and learn how you and your family can help keep our world a little greener.

I have been to a Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility Specialist. We’ve discovered that there is a good chance I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). I am on Prometrium to start my cycle up again, and on the third day, I will have blood drawn to test for different hormone levels. I’ve also started taking Metformin, a diabetes medication that will hopefully help my body to start regulating itself again. PCOS is all about testosterone and insulin, and Metformin should help with the latter. The doctors are convinced that all will be well with my body soon enough, though, in reality, it will never be “normal” again. I can deal with that. Now that we have some answers, or will soon enough.

In the end, this baby-making stuff is ending up much more difficult than we had anticipated, but we know it’s worth it in the long run. Good thoughts are appreciated!
