Howdy Jenny's readers!

Hello everyone! I'm Jayme from The Wonderful World of Jayme which, really isn't that wonderful but eh... what are you going to do right? If you didn't already figure it out, I am a guest blogger for Jenny today. I hope you're enjoying your trip Jen!

When Jenny asked me to be a guest blogger I was like "a whata?" Never heard of it. Of course I said yes. Jenny is a such an awesome person and I would love to do this for her. I'm even honored. =). Jenny and I met on the TTC 6 months board on WebMD. We'd been trying for 9 months (I think) when we met. We were cycle buddies. Every month we would get so excited that it was "our month" but the months went passed w/BFN's each time. Finally on C13 Jenny got her BFP. I was so happy for her! Almost as happy as I would have been if it had been me. I was sad to loose my cycle buddy but so happy she'd finally gotten her blessing and would be well on her way to happiness. A few weeks later I heard the terrible news about Shawn. I was so heartbroken for her. I couldn't even imagine what she was going through. I kept praying for her and asking God to keep her baby safe. A few weeks after that she found out she'd lost the baby. I remember just sitting at my computer crying for her. I felt so horrible for her but knew there was nothing I could say or do to help her feel better. She'd been through some of the most painful experiences in the last month that anyone should ever have to endure in a lifetime. Just heartbreaking. Jen grieved Shawn & the baby but was always by my side (Virtually that is) whenever I needed her. Whenever I was down about a failed IF treatment or just feeling sorry for myself she was there to help cheer me up. I still don't know how she does it. How she is there for all of us on our "bad" days when the day's she's went through had to have been so much worse than any of us could imagine. Jen is a one of a kind, awesome person. I'm so glad I was able to "meet" her. I've never met Jenny in person, yet, but I hope to one day. I feel like I could tell her anything... like we are old friends. Okay I'm going to start getting all sappy so I'll stop there! I've decided to do a poll type thing for everyone to answer for Jen so she can learn more about you, her readers. Some of these questions might be really lame but... deal with it. Answer them for Jenny! It's been a pleasure blogging w/ya'll! Tootles!
