Shimei is our little man. He has a smile that’s bigger than his face. We have yet to figure out how that works but it’s true. He’s an amazingly chill child and will fall asleep anywhere, although if he’s strapped down where he happens to be he’ll complain about it first, but not too loudly. He laughs. He laughs like the whole world is here for his amusement and he finds it highly amusing. We had him laughing so hard the other night his whole head turned red. It was hilarious. He loves to eat toes, his or his sisters’ it makes no difference to him (although they frequently have something to say about the matter).
I am eternally grateful for the science and technology that helped us get him to our family at both ends of his pregnancy – IVF to get him started and emergency c-section to get him here when he decided to give us the only real drama we’ve had with him and almost die right before birth.
I am an educator and PhD. I quilt, belly dance, run, read, and try to grow things. I am a Mormon. I am infertile. I am a daughter, sister, aunt, grand-daughter, friend, wife, and mom.

Yes, I’ve thought frequently about how different our situation would be if we’d tried to have babies just a few decades ago. :brett:
We are thankful that you had the right medical help at just the right time.
Technology is amazing and we are so grateful for the medical advances that made all this possible!
I’m so glad he’s here! Science and technology are wonderful when used in situations like this.
