We started trying to have children in May 2002. After pursuing fertility treatments, domestic, and international adoption, our daughter Nadia Renee was born on 6-24-08 (at 36w4d). IVF #2 resulted in Ian Alexander, who was born on 12-12-09 (at 34w3d). Oliver Elliot (IVF #3) was born on 8-7-12 (at 31w6d)! Three other pregnancies (in 2005, 2007, and 2013) ended in miscarriage. Our family is complete! We are so thankful for our three miracles!
We had planned to go to Maryland this weekend, but it turns out I had made a mistake regarding the date when the pirate adventure cruise was on sale for $5 each (usually $20 each). We will try to do it next summer instead, and we rescheduled Port Discovery (children's museum in Baltimore) that we planned to do yesterday for September. The upside to staying home this weekend was we were able to attend Star Wars Day at the Children's Museum in Bloomsburg, which Ian had really been wanting to attend. They had a Star Wars story time and various other Star Wars activities, games, and crafts in addition to the usual exhibits at the museum. Oliver loved the Jedi Training obstacle course. I had planned to buy an annual membership next month, but in light of today's event, I bought our membership today. We won't go to the $2 Tuesdays any more, but we will go on other special days and also I want to give their biweekly "Homeschool hangouts" a try in October. Today's event was very popular, and a majority of the guests (children and adults alike) were either wearing a Star Wars t-shirt or a Star Wars costume. Some of the costumes that guests were wearing were very elaborate! Ian wore a simple Darth Vader costume.
