I’m a Sagittarius. You probably didn’t know that about me, unless you and I are acquainted in real life. Then again, maybe you could tell… We fire signs tend to have a bit of an obvious personality. So, being a Sagittarius, I have a nauseatingly optimistic outlook on life. I also have a wicked sense […]
On Infertility and Friendship
I was married in December of 2008, in a lovely ceremony in a historic chapel, surrounded by the people I love. Standing by my side were five bridesmaids: old friends, cherished friends, childhood friends, best friends, family. Between those five women, they currently have eight children, and one more on the way. I am still […]
The Odd Life of Timothy Green
Has anyone else seen this trailer?
…I sobbed.
Only a little though.
Jeez, Disney – what are you doing, trying to pull a Nicholas Sparks?
Gah.
I want to see it, and then again maybe I don’t.
Maybe in private.
With wine.
Yes. Definitely wine.
Holy SHOT!
Monday, July 23rd, 2012. CD7. Today has completely exhausted me. And it’s not even close to being over yet. Ugh. That’s alright though, because today is Menopur: Day One! It almost killed me, but I managed to get my paws on my meds today. I got everything home, put my Ovidrel in the fridge, and […]
Insurance Woes
Just a thought: Hospitals, insurance companies, and especially specialty pharmacies, should really have specially-trained hostage negotiators or bomb dismantlers working in their Infertility Departments. Seriously. Someone needs to handle me like the ticking time bomb I am today, and talk me down off this ledge. I really despise the fact that I am getting such […]
The Man With the Plan
Some of you might remember that I used to work in bridal fashion. It was a crazy, stressful time in my life that I prefer not to relive. I still cringe and change the channel when Say Yes to the Dress comes on… And so, back when I worked at the salon, I had this […]
First Date
Wednesday, July 18th, 2012. CD2. I’m excited. Like a kid on Christmas. Like I’m about to meet my crush behind the school and get my first kiss. Like I’m about to meet the man who’s going to knock me up. Oh wait. That last one might be true! Today is the day I meet my […]
And Now I Just Love Her Even More…
“What sets you apart may seem like a burden, but it’s not. A lot of the time it’s what makes you great.”

Dreams Out of Reach
I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about why exactly I am on this particular journey. I keep going back to my, ahem, formative years; did I take birth control for too long? Did that cervical cancer scare and subsequent LEEP procedure somehow hinder my future efforts? Did I just plain wait too long? Was […]
