I’ve been trying to write this blog for the last 9 weeks…but I’m finding it hard to write with just one hand! Why one hand?? Because the other arm is busy holding my new little man!
Yes, my beautiful bundle of joy has arrived. Packaged in a 7 pounds, 8 ounce, package. I’m too tired [...]

B is for Baby…
That was then. This is now….
I’m officially two weeks away from being full term. My doctor even said so, thus making it law. I’m so excited and petrified! I can’t help but think how they’re so much easier to take care of when they’re still neatly packaged within the womb! Soon there will be crying (or, let’s be [...]
The Big Exhale….
Hello?? Hello?? Anybody here??
I feel like I should be going to some writers confessional: Forgive me, for I have sinned… it’s been four months since my last blog entry….
My only explanation for my lack of writing is that I’m still holding my breath. I’m still so in awe of being pregnant, that a part of [...]
Does this pregnancy make me look phat??
Today I’m 10 weeks pregnant. I’m still holding my breath. A week from today is our next doctors appointment and we’ll get to hear the baby’s heartbeat for the first time. There is a fear inside me that when we go, the doctor won’t hear anything and we’ll be told that the baby stopped growing. [...]

Waiting game….
Waiting. Waiting. Waiting…. wait, what’s that… oh right, I’m still waiting! I thought it would only take a couple of days, from the last round of testing, for us to find out if we were officially in the IVF study program; but here it is five days later and we still do not have our [...]
Crazy about eggs….
“When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained…” ~Mark Twain
I’m a pretty in touch with my brain…. that is, until I become passionately not. The brainy and oh-so-intellect side of me talks the big talk and fully believes in what it’s saying, so perhaps that’s why me (and everyone [...]
Balloon. Needle. Pop.
I get an IM today that potentially changes everything. It went something like this:
HIM: Did you know that the free IVF is going to cost $5000??
ME: WHAAAT?!
HIM: Yea, that’s not exactly free…
ME: I knew we’d have to pay for some test, but I thought my tests were going to cost somewhere in the range of [...]
