I hope, for everyone who celebrates, you had a wonderful Christmas spent with family and friends. This time of year is especially tough when you’re still slogging through the trenches of infertility, and bittersweet no matter where you are in your journey. Time spent with my family for Christmas was lovely, but getting there was […]
So, Hubby’s conversation with his future boss yesterday did not go as we thought. The professor still wants Hubby to start work as soon as possible, but it seems like he expects him to do that work for free. Are you fucking shitting me? My husband is a nice guy. Perhaps too nice, too willing […]
I backed my car into a cop car the other day Well he just drove off sometimes life’s OK I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say? Well you just laughed it off, it was all OK And we’ll all float on OK And we’ll all float on OK […]
***If you’re not in a good place–and, believe me, I know this time of year is rough–you may want to skip this one. I remember well the time when I wanted nothing to do with baby showers. There will be other posts on other topics. Please, take care of yourself first. It’s still a little […]

Today is the 24 week mark. Viability. Of course, I hope Thumper stays put for another 16 or so weeks, but it is a small comfort to know that, if the worst should happen, measures would be taken to save her precious life. In the last week leading up to this milestone, my imagination has […]
We have movers coming to our house in two weeks. Two weeks. And while I can now say we’ve officially begun packing (finally!), I’m still overwhelmed with all the stuff in my house. Which now includes a multitude of flattened boxes. I have no clue where we’re going to stack them as they start to […]
Two years ago today, I hit publish on my very first post. I could not have known then where the next two years would take me. The roller coaster of repeat SAs, a feeble attempt at IUI, a failed IVF/FET cycle, and the boundless generosity of Hubby’s dad and uncle so we could try again. […]
It still takes me by surprise. Every time. Infertility pops up in movies, TV, or books, and I feel my breath catch. Are they going to make light of “shooting blanks” or give some vague explanation as to why “you’ll never be able to have kids,” only to wind up with a surprise pregnancy by […]
