I got the baby it’s first thing today!!

I also talked with my stepmom last night and had her look at the baby photos of my possible donors and got her input on them. She told me to get them IQ tested cause that’s more important than looks lol.

I rescheduled with the fertility doctor too and will be seeing them May 16th! Very excited to get the ball rolling.

The Qatari travel and tourism industry is experiencing a golden age, shattering records and solidifying its position as a key economic driver. This surge in success is illuminated by the World Travel & Tourism Council's (WTTC) 2024 Economic Impact Research (EIR) report. Qatar Tourism Soars 2023: A Year of Remarkable Achievements The past year witnessed a phenomenal upswing in Qatar's travel and tourism sector. Here's a breakdown of the key milestones achieved: GDP Contribution: The sector's contribution to Qatar's GDP skyrocketed by 31%, reaching a historic QAR 81.2 billion. This translates to a staggering 10.3% of the nation's total economic output, emphasizing tourism's crucial role in the country's financial well-being. Job Creation Engine: The industry emerged as a significant source of employment, generating over 20,300 new jobs. This impressive growth pushed the total number of jobs in the sector to nearly 286,000, representing one in eight jobs across Qatar. Domestic Tourism Strength: Domestic visitor spending witnessed a significant uptick, reaching QAR 1.4 billion, indicating a growing interest in exploring the country amongst Qatari residents. However, despite hosting the highly anticipated FIFA World Cup in 2022 and witnessing a nearly 40% increase in visitor spending from abroad (reaching QAR 60.4 billion), international visitor spending still fell short of the previous peak by QAR 1.2 billion. Gearing Up for an Even Brighter 2024 The future looks incredibly promising for Qatar's travel and tourism industry. Here's a glimpse into what 2024 holds: Record-Breaking Projections: The sector is poised to contribute a staggering QAR 90.8 billion to the Qatari economy this year, representing the highest level ever recorded. This translates to a significant 11.3% of the nation's total GDP. Employment Boom: The industry is expected to be a major job creator, supporting more than 334,500 jobs across the country. This growth signifies that over 15.8% of the total workforce will be employed in the travel and tourism sector. International Tourism on the Rise: International visitor spending is projected to rise significantly, reaching a record-breaking QAR 69.6 billion this year. Coupled with a projected domestic spend of QAR 12 billion, the overall tourism revenue is poised for a historic high. These remarkable achievements are a testament to the government's dedication to fostering collaboration between the public and private sectors. This commitment focuses on enhancing Qatar's tourism offerings by creating diverse and immersive experiences that cater to a wide range of visitor preferences. Collaborative efforts include dedicated working groups across various industries. These groups hold regular meetings to identify challenges and leverage the expertise of the private sector to further propel tourism growth. Industry Leaders Express Optimism Julia Simpson, President & CEO of WTTC, is optimistic about the future of Qatar's tourism industry. "Qatar's Travel & Tourism sector is poised to break records this year, highlighting its significance as a leading destination in the Middle East," she stated. Simpson acknowledges the current gap in international visitor spending compared to the previous peak. However, she emphasizes the government's efforts to strengthen collaboration as a catalyst for propelling tourism growth. She concludes by expressing confidence in Qatar's tourism industry playing a crucial role in shaping a national economic landscape defined by prosperity and abundant opportunities. Beyond 2024: A Look at the Next Decade The global tourism body forecasts a robust upward trajectory for the Qatari tourism sector over the next decade. By 2034, the sector's annual GDP contribution is projected to exceed QAR 135 billion, representing nearly 13% of the nation's economy. Furthermore, the industry is expected to employ a staggering 458,000 individuals, with one in five residents working within the travel and tourism sector. A Thriving Tourism Landscape Across the Middle East The positive trend isn't limited to Qatar. The entire Middle Eastern travel and tourism sector witnessed an impressive growth of over 25% in 2023, reaching close to $460 billion. Job creation also saw a significant upswing, with the number of jobs reaching nearly 7.75 million.

Hey everyone, great news! 

I have decided to launch Welcome To The Circus into a full-blown webcomic! I’ve desperately missed working on a personal comic project, but I know I have to do something more laid back to avoid another injury, so silly slice-of-life comics it is!

I hope you will enjoy reading these as much as I enjoy making them! ;D

Cycle 1 Day 4; 02.01.2023

I've been doing some window shopping in terms of donors. I think I may have already found a few I quite like.. they're all red heads!! For some reason I would absolutely adore having a little red headed bean. I talked to my psychiatrist about it and how in middle school my crushes always had red hair, which she says is subconsciously my body is making me pair up with red haired donors because my body can tell that it would be most compatible and therefore a healthier baby? NOT TO MENTION SHE SAID RED HAIRED BABIES ARE EASIER TO BIRTH?? Like there's actual studies that have proven it! She also told me that she was a sperm donor baby and it makes her feel super wanted because her parents literally picked her if that makes sense. My younger sibling texted me this morning and was like "I'd be very happy to have nephew or niece who is a ginger" lololol. I've already started thinking of names, crazy crazy.

I'm just really excited if you couldn't tell (((((: March 1st can't get here soon enough. I may aim to start trying in May? That way the baby can be born around my own birthday ((((:

Get ready to dust off your suitcase and stock up on sunscreen – the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) predicts a banner year for travel in 2024! Their 2024 Economic Impact Research (EIR) report forecasts the industry's global economic contribution will soar to a record-shattering $11.1 trillion. This translates to a staggering $770 billion increase over the previous record, solidifying Travel & Tourism's position as a global economic powerhouse. According to the WTTC, the industry will generate a whopping one out of every ten dollars circulating worldwide. Travel & Tourism on an Unprecedented Upswing A Global Phenomenon: Travel Poised to Outperform Pre-Pandemic Levels The travel industry's resurgence isn't just a regional phenomenon – it's a global one. WTTC's report expects a remarkable 142 out of 185 analyzed countries to surpass their previous national tourism records. Partnering with Oxford Economics, the EIR paints a picture of an industry brimming with potential, supporting a staggering 348 million jobs globally. This impressive figure represents a significant increase of over 13.6 million jobs compared to the industry's peak in 2019. International Tourism on the Rise, Domestic Travel Booming International visitor spending is predicted to inch closer to pre-pandemic levels, reaching a projected $1.89 trillion. Domestic tourists are also expected to break spending records, with a forecasted total of $5.4 trillion. These figures highlight the industry's remarkable resilience in the face of recent economic uncertainties and geopolitical disruptions. In 2023, the travel sector already displayed signs of a strong comeback, injecting nearly $10 trillion into the global economy and matching its pre-pandemic peak. This demonstrates not only the industry's adaptability but also its critical role in driving global economic growth. 2023 Paved the Way for Record-Breaking 2024 The robust travel figures in 2023 serve as a testament to the unwavering passion for travel across the globe, setting the stage for a record-breaking year in 2024. However, it's important to note that this growth comes with some caveats. Two of the world's biggest tourism markets – the United States and China – are lagging behind in terms of international visitor spending. The U.S. is seeing a slower return of international tourist spending, with current figures remaining more than a quarter below the 2019 peak. China's international visitor spending is even lower, currently sitting at almost 60% down compared to pre-pandemic levels. Urgent Call for Support in Key Markets Julia Simpson, WTTC President & CEO, emphasizes the need for targeted support: "The Travel & Tourism sector remains a global economic powerhouse, even amidst global uncertainties. We're not just talking about breaking records anymore. This is a story of the industry reclaiming its former glory after a challenging period, providing a significant economic boost to countries worldwide and supporting millions of jobs." However, Simpson raises concerns: "There's a risk, though. We need the U.S. and Chinese governments to step up their support for their national Travel & Tourism sectors. Until this happens, these countries will continue to lag behind while others witness a much faster return of international visitors." A Promising Future for Travel & Tourism Looking ahead, the WTTC forecasts a bright future for the Travel & Tourism industry over the next decade. The report predicts robust growth and unparalleled career opportunities fueled by this dynamic sector. By 2034, the Travel & Tourism sector is expected to become a $16 trillion behemoth, contributing a staggering 11.4% to the global economic landscape. This booming industry will also transform into a job creation powerhouse, employing a projected 449 million people worldwide. Nearly 12.2% of the global workforce is expected to find employment in this vibrant sector, highlighting Travel & Tourism's pivotal role in global job creation. With more than three-quarters of the analyzed countries projected to surpass their 2019 GDP contribution peak, the Travel & Tourism industry stands on the precipice of its most transformative era yet. This era promises unprecedented prosperity, innovation, and global connection. The Resilience of Travel & Tourism Overcoming Economic Uncertainties: Explore how despite economic uncertainties and geopolitical challenges, the Travel & Tourism sector continues to thrive. Understand the sector's ability to adapt and evolve, contributing nearly $10 trillion to the global economy in 2023. Revival of International Spending: Learn about the vibrant comeback story for many countries, with international spending increasing by 33.1% in 2023. Discover the factors driving this resurgence and its implications for global tourism markets.
