ART is a mindfuck…just in case you were wondering.
I was born and raised and still living in Nebraska. Strangely, I love it here.
I am DD and have (Secondary) Infertility. We have been trying to have another baby since Fall 2004.
I am 40 and the mother of one boy, XBoy…
Mr. DD is 43 and the father of said boy, XBoy…Mr. DD is from New England and I think I have successfully "countrified" him.
XBoy is the 6yr old Miracle Child (conceived easily and naturally - who does this anymore?!) of DD & Mr. DD…
We miscarried a girl, Vivienne (aka Baby May) at 15wks, November 2004 and that’s when we found out having another baby is not as easy as Brittany Spears makes it look.

Knocked up...then knocked down refers to my birthing (in)abilities as my first pregnancy was successful. Since then, I've had 4 confirmed and one professionally unconfirmed pregnancies, ergo the knocked down.
T.K.O? It's a boxing term for Technically Knocked Out. I think that's what I am: technically knocked out of the baby-making business, but I have been not been beaten down for the count. It's just a step to my next fight!
Getting pregnant without miscarrying? Brilliant!
