1) He has a PhD, and he studies things like evolution. Things like, Why do strippers get more tips when they’re ovulating? And he knows how to design studies to answer these kinds of questions, although he did not design this particular study. (His big brain is another thing I love about him.) 2) He […]
The nearly two weeks of sickness-induced brain fog is finally starting to lift. I’m trying to get caught up on reading and commenting. And writing. I just haven’t had much to say lately. The lovely and amazing msfertility sent me this article to cheer me up. It made me smile. But my next thought was, […]
I’ve been sick for a week. It’s just a cold, but it’s kicking my ass. Last week, I took Tuesday off because I only had a couple of visits scheduled, and I thought I could easily make them up if I had to later in the week. I figured staying home one day to rest would […]
I often feel like I’m waiting for my real life to begin. Because this can’t be it. Don’t get me wrong; my life is not terrible. It’s actually pretty good. I love my husband, who also happens to be my best friend, and we’ve been able to travel together and have experiences that would have […]
There’s nothing much to report on the baby-making front. We started the new dosages and 3x/week injections on Sunday, and since then, Hubby’s been convinced that he’s having more hot flashes and less hair growth. But it’s only been a couple of days. We probably need to give it more time. Turns out, I also […]
Hubby shaved his beard today. I was sad to see it go. He hasn’t had a beard in years, and this one was off to a good start. The only reason he had it was because, while he was away, he had a couple of wisdom teeth pulled, and that side of his face hurt […]
It’s been a loooong two weeks, but he arrived on Wednesday, safe and sound, with all his meds (no hassles with security or customs). We’ll start the new protocol on Sunday. He’s still jet-lagged, so he went to bed at 9:30. Which means I have some time to catch up. I haven’t wanted to let […]
Give me the child. Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great…. You have no power over me. -Sarah in Labyrinth […]
It’s been a long week. My first week back at work since the holidays, and it has draaaaaagged. Partly because I didn’t have as many home visits as I normally do, and partly because it was just a rough week and wouldn’t do me the courtesy of sucking quickly. There are many reasons I hated this […]
I miss my grandma. She was the only one I had, and she was amazing. My family history is a treasure-trove of incredible characters and stories, but my grandma had some of the best. She lived through the great depression, played piano in a jazz band, where she earned the nickname “Rodney,” recycled long before […]
