Happy Mother's Day! To the mothers who are mothers, to the fathers who are mothers, to the aunties and godmothers, to the soon to be mothers, to those who desperately want to be mothers... I celebrate all of you.

Taking a wee break from the blog... I'll see you back here soon.

Oy! Happy Mothers Day, beautiful Andrea! Wow. I still can't get over how cute Ben is! He is soooo perfect!

OH!!! I just love him and his inquisitive, intelligent face. It's almost more than I can bear--you'd think I was related to him.

And all compliments to you on furnishing him with a superb wardrobe, that child surely has impeccable style!

Happy Mum's day to you, A, and I hope you consider doing the documentary--you could speak for the heartache and/or joy experienced by so many of us who negotiate a gendered given in this post-modern world.

Hi Andrea,
I just happened to land on your site because I was looking up Elizabeth Gilbert ( of EAT, PRAY, LOVE) and somehow the google search took me to a photo of you and two other women doing the Charlie's ANgel pose. THat got me reading your journal. and that's how it happened : total surrendipidy.
My name is Amy Lawday. I am a film maker with my own documentary production company ( www.amylawdayproductions.com) . I am also a 36 year old woman who is trying to get pregnant and making a film about the process.
From the little snippets I read of your journal over the last few years, I see that you have a very real, human and amusing way of describing what you (we) go through.
I have been keeping a video diary log of my experience and the aim is to incorporate the footage into a wider documentary film about the changing face of fertility in America. i have already conducted several expert interviews with doctors and specialists and I would very much like to interview you.
Please let me know if you would be interested in meeting with me and doing an on-camera interview. Just as an aside, the camera is extremely unobtrusive and no scary lights and boom mikes. This would be more like an informal chat, captured on video.

I can be contacted at amy@amylawdayproductions.com or on my cell 646 345 4060.
Thank you and I look forward to talking to you.
Oh, and Happy Mother's Day.
Amy Lawday
