Eva's TV Debut

I continue to follow and support Resolve which is a national infertility organization. Their site, Facebook page and community groups were really helpful when we were trying to conceive. I found the support and information that I needed during many steps along the way and it also got me more active in legislation and how I can try to help make a change and difference for the infertility community.
I recently saw one of their Facebook posts, looking for women who did IVF and were located in Minneapolis and Chicago, for a company that has created a product to help couples who are seeking IVF treatments. I sent my information as I'm always willing to share my story if it means it can help someone else. I may not have a lot of money to help, but I have a story!

Shortly after I submitted my information and a brief overview of our story, I was contacted by a woman from the company Unify and we chatted for about a half hour. We discussed my story in more detail and she listened to our struggle to conceive and the hard decision we made to do IVF and then I learned about her company and how they can help other women going through the same thing. Unify has created a few tests that couples can take to identify their success rate if they chose to do IVF. This low-cost test can be the first step a couple can take before making a big financial decision. Although I did not take this test prior to our decision, I was able to testify that this would have been useful for us. They also have a test for those looking at doing another round of IVF and another to help you choose how many embryos to transfer. I recommend taking a look at their site and the products they offer: www.unify.com

After my phone "interview", it was only matter of hours and the next thing I know, I'm in the parking lot at work doing a TV interview that was going to be aired on a local news channel that night! (good thing I washed my hair that day and wore a cute shirt!)
I suppose it was a good thing that I didn't have time to think about it or get nervous. Here is our TV Debut!

Road Rage

I thought temper tantrums weren't supposed to start until they were two? You know, the terrible two's?? (and actually I've heard three is even worse!)  Well not in this house. Miss Eva has already begun with tantrums. So what does mom do? Yep, I get them on video of course and share them with everyone.

She gets really frustrated when she pushes her walker and it gets stuck on furniture. Her Road Rage is already beginning..

11 Months - Dancing Queen

Eva's been exposed to music pretty much since day one. We played classical music to help her sleep, we have jam sessions in the car every day to and from day care, and sing her lullabies every night before bed. We knew she had a love for music and it's really shown through lately. She is also getting very confident and steady on her feet, so we shouldn't have been surprised to see our little Dancing Queen really step out this month...

Miss Eva definitely has the butt-shake mastered; the cutest butt-shake I've ever seen I must add. 

And to mix it up, she also likes to stomp her feet to the beat.

She also has another move where she goes up and down and waves her hand in the air, if only I could have gotten  video of it because it's adorable!

J and I also love music and always have it on at home so we couldn't be happier to see Eva enjoying it just as much! Though Daddy seems to think these adorable moves could haunt him one day when she gets older.
