About Me
Hiya! I'm Lydia, aka Peanut Mom. I've got two pretty fabulous iVF babies, both the result of frozen transfers. My daughter "Peanut" is four and my son "Squeak" is two. They keep things interesting and more than a little chaotic every day. Here I write about infertility, parenting, embryo donation, and life's absurdity with a big helping of humor. Welcome!
