Moving
Hey ladies! Wow I haven't posted in a long time but I do still read everyday. I just don't get on the computer much and can't post from my phone. However I'm making a promise to myself to be more active here.
Jenn and I decided a few months ago that we really need to move to be closer to her family. We agreed on Atlanta. Her Grandmother and aunts and uncles live there but we will still be a few hours away from her parents in Charlotte. It's a little nervewracking to plan a move from Dallas to Atlanta but we are so excited. I don't know much (anything really) about the gay community there and am so nervous about finding new doctor's, employers, friends, etc. The thing that I am most concerned about is finding a friendly RE. We put TTC on hold so we can focus on the move but are still planning to start trying again shortly after we get there. It's a lot of changes at once!
Any tips on ways to make such a big move a little easier on our minds? We've never done this before! We've still got a few months to go but time seems to be flying.
And on the subject of big changes...congrats to all the new mommies-to-be!
Re: Moving
I dont have any real advice to offer (i've lived in the same 20 mile radius my entire life), but i did want to wish you the best of luck!
From what I've seen during my travel to Atlanta, there is a strong gay community and things like doctors, friends, jobs, ect always have a way of falling into place. it'll all work out!

YAY for change!
I don't have any gay recs in Atlanta (I might be able to find some since my BF from childhood lives there - she is straight!) You might also want to try to GLBT boards on BabyCenter for an RE, etc. There are people from all over on those boards (they have fertility, pregnancy, and parenting forums - but I would try all 3 - since they all cater to different people.)
I lived in Decatur for a few months in the mid-90s and loved it. It was really gay friendly (tons of lesbians) and a cute little town.
Very exciting! I have a strange obsession with Atlanta, especially Decatur. We toyed with the idea of moving there ourselves. I hope you love your new home!
IUI #3 gave us the best 2nd anniv. gift ever: 2 babies! (born 03/09/10)
Peanut and Little Man are getting so big! 2 years old already!
finally blogging again at This Will Be: An Adventure
We are so excited and can't wait to call Atlanta home. It just feels like the right place for us to be at this point in our lives. Although my mom keeps trying to come up with reasons for us to stay in Dallas! The latest is "when you have babies we won't be close enough to help you". I'm going to miss them but Jenn has spent the last 6 years away from her family and it's time for us to change it up and be closer to them.
I have lived in Dallas my entire life so it's going to be wierd to one day wake up in a different state! As for movers- they're already hired!
