Pink Rose Award

My friend Wendy (Our Story: A Blog About Infertility, In Vitro and Adoption) has nominated me for the Pink Rose Award. She is actually the reason I started blogging. I was getting ready for my first IVF cycle and doing some on-line research when I came across her blog. I was immediately sucked in and got so caught up in her story. Wendy - you are truly an inspiration and I so admire your strength, courage and honesty.

I would like to nominate the following women:

1. TTCinDC (One Pink Line) - DC has just started her second IVF cycle after a BFN about a month ago. She is tenacious, supportive and has a great sense of humor.

2. I would also like to nominate Brenda (No Regrets). She is always the first person to offer advice or words of encouragement. She just completed her 2nd IVF transfer and we're all hoping this is the one! Go Jar-Jar!

Here's the rules:

1. On your blog, copy and paste the award, these rules, a link back to the person who selected you, and a link to this post: http://smartone.typepad.com/smartone/2008/05/pink-is-my-favo.html. You will find the story behind the Pink Rose Award and other graphics to choose from there.
2. Select as many award recipients as you would like, link to their blogs (if they have one), and explain why you have chosen them.
3. Let them know that you have selected them for an award by commenting on one of their posts.
4. If you are selected, pass it on by giving the Pink Rose Award to others.
5. If you find that someone you want to nominate has already been selected by someone else, you can still honor them by posting a comment on their award post stating your reasons for wishing to grant them the award.
6. You do not have to wait until someone nominates you to nominate someone else.
