Last night, as I lay down to sleep, I felt the unmistakable twitch-flutter in my belly that, for the first time, I was 100% sure was the Kid and not the result of my ever-slowing digestion. It was an exciting end to an already exciting day. Yesterday morning, at 15 weeks 4 days, I finally […]
We managed to schedule a local scan, which saved us an entire day of travel. (Actually, we had two of them scheduled at one point. I guess that request for the GP to write a letter on my behalf was redundant.) Our experience here, with this pregnancy, has already been so different, and it seems […]
As far as I know, I’m still pregnant. I haven’t tested in more than a week, continue to take my meds, and hope for the best. I was able to arrange a scan at the local hospital, saving us a whole day of travel, but it’s still just over a week away (Friday the 13th–eek!). […]
This afternoon, while Hubby stayed with Missy in the waiting room, I put my feet into those all-too-familiar stirrups and had two blastocysts (along with something called “embryo glue”) transferred to my uterus. I had been especially nervous about the whole thing when I learned that 1) a nurse, not a doctor, usually does the […]
Our frozen embryos left our old RE’s new clinic on Friday. They are due to arrive at our new clinic here in the UK sometime today. Finally. We’re not planning to do our FET until early next year, but I’ll be so relieved to know they’ve arrived safely at their (our) new home. Want to […]
Just my 20-month-old (today!) reminding me I still don’t need these.
I would kill for a 3-hour stretch of sleep right about now. Last night, baby girl’s longest was an hour and a half. Ninety minutes. More often less. I am dragging today. * In brighter news, tomorrow is the deadline for what Hubby is now referring to as his dream job. I won’t go into […]
Last Friday, as I sat with monitors strapped to my belly for my latest NST, the nurse popped in and out of our little curtained-off cubicle. During one such pop-in, she asked who my doctor was. When I told her, she responded, “Huh. I’m surprised.” I knew exactly what she meant. I think I mentioned […]
I’ve written twice before about the tradition of taking one’s sweet time in our little family of (still) two. It seems the soon-to-be-third member of our family is taking the tradition to heart as well. I’m currently sitting at four days past my due date, with still no signs of Thumper’s arrival on the horizon. […]
I don’t know if it’s 3rd trimester fatigue setting in, this cold I’ve had since Thursday, or just feeling like I don’t have much to say, but I’ve been struggling to write this week. I’ve tried. I have several drafts started, but they’re all dead ends. One of them was about how I gave notice […]
Something Out of Nothing
