Mood:  happy
Topic: Shoptalk
It's not long now until Valentine's Day. We have been getting into the mood by working on some cute Valentine's designs for both baby and mom. We have a range of cute love heart designs for baby's first valentine's day. So check them out!

New Miracle Baby design
Available today - the new MIRACLE BABY design! In a range of different
fonts and in both pink and blue. We will be adding more designs to this
section, so stay tuned...

ICSI pixie
Our first new IVF specific design in a while - the ICSI pixie design!
For the ever growing number of ICSI babies out there.

We are also working on affiliating with other Cafepress stores so we
will be able to link to even more infertility and IVF related items!

Christmas is coming!
Topic: Shoptalk

Usually I ignore Christmas until the very last moment - which means last minute panic buying or being sensible and ordering online. I reckon that the shipping charges are well worth the time spent not driving, parking and negotiating the crowds.

Last year our baby was only 8 weeks old at Christmas. Had I been smart enough or energetic enough I should have done all my shopping before he was born. But I didn't and so all of my Christmas shopping was done either online or in long days at the overcrowded shopping centre where I had to spend a great deal of time in the babycare room feeding him. So this year I have a different strategy and intend to do as much as possible online (for the adults) or late at night (for the toys).

So with all this in mind I have been working on adding new items to our Christmas Store. There's a new range of items for baby's first christmas plus some IVF baby designs.

New article and lots of new products
Topic: Sitetalk
School holidays have meant that I have been neglecting the blog. But have just uploaded a short article about secondary infertility.

The store has lots of new products! There's a special range for twins. My best friend has IVF twins and has often bemoaned the lack of reasonably priced twin products. So all of our twin gear is at the lowest price as we know that you need two!

Baby model
Topic: Shoptalk
Here's a photo of our IVF baby wearing one of our shirts - the Finally Baby from the IVF BABY rangeHe's 10.5 months old and a big lad for his age. This is a 12mth size t-shirt. In the past few days he's learned how to push himself up from something such as a cushion or his older brother lying on the floor and can stand for a few seconds. He is getting more confident as each day passes and is starting to do other things while standing such as throwing his arms up in the air in an attempt to get the camera - that'w what he is trying to do in this photo, it's not a posed shot! At this rate we reckon he will be walking by Xmas and life will get a whole lot more interesting!!

Movement
Topic: Shoptalk
The store departments have been rearranged to create some semblance of order. We've also added a "me too" section for mothers.

Topic: Sitetalk
We are now ad-free! The IVF Babies website has been upgraded tonight and several new features have been added:

All of these features are new and will be added to over the next couple of weeks.

Site and shop
Topic: Sitetalk
I am behind in updating this site. But I have been working on adding new sections and in the middle of writing the first "hot topic" essay. I'm delaying uploading the pages until they are near complete as having dead links can be annoying.

I'm also looking into getting rid of the ads.

If you haven't visited The Store lately, then take a look as I've been busy adding new products and rearranging the store. I have managed to kill my Photoshop but am trialling some new software.
