Hi. Hello! Hey there friends! It has been SIX whole weeks since I last updated. It has been a wonderful time of preparing to learn if we were having a girl or boy, working, managing stress and <asperusual> catching up. Managing all of the daily things while Tim was gone and then spending some time … Continue reading The fire is burning
10 Week #MilliKid Bumpdate
Oh. My. Gosh! A two-fer!! You guys... I was in such an unsure place and, like always - you just lifted me up! Your kind comments, messages and calls warm my heart. This stuff is hard. Coupled with Tim being gone all the time and responsibilities not equaling my energy output, I can really get … Continue reading 10 Week #MilliKid Bumpdate

CATCHUP. I would sincerely and deeply apologize, but I have to be fully transparent. I have been EXHAUSTED. I always have grand plans to keep up with you weekly, but it has taken every bit of my focus to make it home from work before I pass out, wake up at 9pm for meds and … Continue reading My Favorite Game
Sweet Blueberry
Happy 7 week update! Yesterday, i got to see our growing baby. And growing, they are! We have doubled in size since last week. And that heart is just a-pumping away at 148 beats per minute. This week, we are the size of a blueberry. As soon as the ultrasound tech found our little nugget, … Continue reading Sweet Blueberry
Started from the bottom
I was going to wait until tomorrow to post, but I have too many thoughts to leave them any more length of time. Time here lately has been a thief. And a burden. So many things have happened since I last updated. I am sorry for the delay, but sometimes speaking things into the world … Continue reading Started from the bottom
I {may} Need an Intervention
Just a few memes to capture all my contradictory emotions. Well, friends. I have a confession. I have fallen off the wagon. As much as I convinced myself I would NOT pee on a stick, I succumbed to my terrible addiction. I promised myself I would not pee on a stick during my two week … Continue reading I {may} Need an Intervention
Guess what…
THERE’S A BABY IN THERE! We did it! Transfer day was a success. Our embryo is perfect, of course. The thaw went well. The actual transfer was smooth and very quick. They even let me get Tim on the phone to listen in during the procedure. Just look at that perfect baby! I completed all … Continue reading Guess what…
I am a warrior.
Tomorrow is TRANSFER DAY! As per my usual, I had planned to take it easy leading up to this point and failed dramatically. While it may not always be the best way, I tend to deal with stress by getting busy and occupying my mind. I have a deep rooted sense of "hard work pays" … Continue reading I am a warrior.
Letting go.
I HATE waiting. I have never been blessed with an abundance of patience. There are some notable exceptions to this rule, for me. I have patience with dogs and kids because i know that it’s my responsibility to achieve the outcome I’m seeking. But waiting for for things that are utterly out of my control … Continue reading Letting go.
Out with the old…
As of today, I have been taking Estrogen and baby Aspirin (and pre-natals) for just shy of a week. I want to check in and record how I am feeling for everyone that has been so kind to check in on me and for posterity. If you followed along last time, you will remember my … Continue reading Out with the old…
