One of my coworkers calls my student teacher my “work husband”. Which is funny but also kind of creepy to me because the guy is 8 years younger than I am. And while I have dated people 8 years older than me (okay one person), I don’t think I could handle the fact that when [...]

I am such a slacker. I started knitting baby blankets for my friend N at the end of last May. She was having twins, due in July. I got one finished in mid-June. The second was halfway done by the time the babies were born, on July 4th. Then we went on a trip, and [...]

It’s been quite a week. Back to work. Which is good – I’m enjoying it, but at the same time, I am exhausted at the end of each day. Although I basically woke up at the save time (6:30) all Summer, I could nap if I needed to – now I’m in bed by 8:30 [...]

“Are you here for a little chat today?” That is my RE’s nurse’s way of asking if she should get the dildocam and the KY ready. Very delicate. As though Dr. B and I are going to have a cup of tea, maybe some Peek Freans (oh man, that link made me hungry), and discuss [...]

A common thread in the comments of the last post was “Hey! Stop apologizing! Write about what you want to write about! That’s what blogs are for!”. I wanted to thank you for those comments, and maybe explain a little bit why I get like that. I think, because it has happened that people have [...]

Guys? I’m having a really hard time with this infertility stuff (and you’re thinking “Uh, who would have a good time with it?”). I know that about 10% of people who are trying to have babies haven’t gotten pregnant after trying for a year. It’s been three years for us, and it’s been confirmed by [...]

It’s been about 3 weeks since my surgery, and the bruises are gone. The incision in my belly button is fine, it just looks like a little x-shaped dent. The one that’s at my pubic bone, though… ugh. Now, it’s not infected, itchy, particularly painful, or anything like that. I don’t feel it when I’m [...]

This morning I went to the basement to put some laundry on, and saw something that broke my heart a little more. Just before our wedding, this came up on Freecycle. I immediately emailed asking for it, thinking “We don’t need it this second, but we should soon enough, maybe”. We picked it up and [...]

At 7:30 am on July 31st, we dropped the dogs off at my mother’s, making sure to give her all the instructions we could think of. “Feed them at 8 am, noon, 4 pm, and 8 pm… we should be back by 4 though. Anyway they eat every 4 hours. Leave the food down for [...]
