Today is a special day. Not only because this is the day that both my maternal grandmother and my second cousin (her great granddaughter) were born, but because today one year ago we had two embryos put back. The result is sleeping soundly next to me at the moment.
Our gorgeous little girl
- who prefers sleeping in her parents bed, snugly between the two of us
- who is always in a good mood in the morning
- who loves getting undressed and having a bath
- who doesn't like getting dressed so much, despite all the pretty clothes she has
- whose hair at the back of her head looks like she had a hair cut already
- with amazingly long Bambi legs
- whose tiny little fingers like fiddling with my t-shirt or my bra when she is nursing
- whose face lights up when she sees her daddy
- who giggles so much that we sometimes think life is one big joke we are not getting
She brings so much joy to our lives, it is amazing to see her grow and become more aware. Of herself (hey, I have feet!), us and her surroundings. We are extremely lucky to have her with us and I am forever grateful for the extraordinary act of kindness of one woman that helped us make our dream come true.

oooooooooooooooooooo wat een speciale dag! En wat een berg liefde spat er van het scherm af. Beatrice mag blij zijn met zo'n lieve papa en mama!
hey Flo'tje, een jaar geleden alweer! Time flies when you're having fun, right??
Geniet maar lekker van alle nieuwe dingetjes die ze kan en doet!
liefs, Ilse
Heerlijk om te lezen wat ons nog te wachten staat! En ja, samen in bed is natuurlijk "verboden" door allerlei "deskundigen", maar voor ons is dat ook de prettigste manier van slapen...
Ooooooo dan beken ik ook maar: samen in bed is het allerfijnst! Na iedere ochtend voeding hoeft het mannetje van mij niet meer in zijn eigen bed. Neenee, dan mag hij bovenop mama in het grote bed. Het voedingskussen om ons heen, dekentje d'r over en..genieten! Heerlijk!
En Flo'tje...bevalt het een beetje in Syrie? Wat een geluk dat er internet is! En hier is het toch überslecht weer, dus dat hoef je niet te missen nu!
Liefs en een kusje voor Beatrice van Tren
Wat lief!Zij is dan ook een zeer gewenst, lief meisje. En nog fotogeniek ook!Geniet er maar lekker van.
Wat is je emailadres daar?

My congrats, honey! I used donor eggs and gave birth to wonderful boy last year! I have no regrets at all! At first I had some doubts. I was nervous so much. I know how it feels… All that waiting just driving you crazy. I was looking at other women, who have already became mothers. I was so jealous, I thought maybe I've done something bad? Maybe I just don't deserve to get what I want? Yes, it's hard, because it's not our fault we can't conceive naturally. But still we should be grateful for such chance to have this procedure and become mothers! The greatest fear was that I will not be able to love child, who is not genetically related to me. It's much more easier for man to accept this procedure, because a baby will be from him. As it was my only way out, I decided we should try. It was a difficult, but the result changed our lives! After a couple of months of thorough search, reading of hundreds reviews and contacting clinics directly we've found Ukrainian biotexcom. I wanted a baby who I will carry and give birth by myself. I wanted to be with him from the moment of his birth, from his first breath. Of course, I wanted baby to look like us. But as soon as the doctor made an embryo transfer, the only thing I was thinking about was pregnancy to be successful and my baby to be born healthy! Now I have absolutely no feeling that my son is not mine genetically! No one can ever tell he is from donor egg. We decided not to tell our parents the whole truth. For them we had ivf with my eggs and my husband's sperm. If you have firmly decided to become a mother, no difficulties will stop you. I'm not going to tell my son that I used donor egg of another woman to get pregnant. I'm sure he doesn't need to worry about this in the future. This fact will change nothing for him. We are very happy that we addressed to biotexcom for this procedures. Thanks to their doctors I was able to get pregnant using egg donation program. I've never regret about my decision!
Hi dear! Your blog is so inspiring! I really enjoyed reading it! Your story is just breathtaking! I am happy to share my experience. I contacted Ukrainian clinic BioTexCom after having negative experiences from a center in the UK. The UK center was negative because of my age at 46. I decided to look elsewhere. I contacted various IVF clinics throughout Europe. I was apprehensive about the language barrier and the clinic helping to create a wonderful baby. I contacted the coordinator at BioTexCom who was immediately receptive, very professional and answered all my questions and concerns. They were very clear from the beginning about what the treatment would entail including precise costs and timings which were important to us. We opted for a donor whom this clinic carefully matched to me in physical appearance such as height, eye and hair color and interests. The process was very simple and flights were booked easily to Kiev. The housing which was given by BioTexCom was fantastic. The clinic was immaculate and the manager I encountered spoke excellent English and was extremely professional and put us at ease. The treatment was very straightforward. We were kept up to date at every step and there was no anxiety or stress. We are delighted with not one but twin gorgeous babies who fit in perfectly in appearance to our other children. I could not praise this clinic and their staff enough as they were all truly amazing and so understanding and supportive. I’m so grateful to them for helping us create truly wonderful babies and making our family complete!
