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…
All Aboard
I feel like today has been the longest day. I got up with Tim, so SUPER early. I got ready and headed out to East Memphis for my blood work and ultrasound. Even writing about this now, it feels like a week ago I had that appointment. I was in and out super quick and … Continue reading All Aboard

On the eve of finding out if we get to continue forward with our transfer, today marks an even bigger, more important milestone! Today, the Ides of March, is my most perfect girl's birthday. Daisy Mae Marie Frassinelli Millican turns the big 1-2 today and I have been all in my feels about it all … Continue reading The Original Child
Post Trial Transfer Update
After an early morning and a long, recuperative nap - I'm here for an update! As you know, I had my trial transfer and endometrial scrape/scratch. I also had the Femmebot (my mini cooper) serviced today, because #adulting. That isn't as minor a detail as it now appears, because I know it seems superfluous. I … Continue reading Post Trial Transfer Update
Round Two in the Ring
It feels like it’s been decades since I have last been here. I can’t believe only two and a quarter years have passed. But, we can be honest - the last two years have been two for the books. Like, world history books. Since we have last visited, Tim has returned from deployment. He finally … Continue reading Round Two in the Ring
Recap Part 1
I'd like to title this blog many things. Some that immediately come to mind: "Good riddance 2018" "I'm sorry for leaving you hanging" "New year, same goals" "New year, new goals" Let's just say that 2018 has been a wild ride. More than that, it's has been equal parts unbearable, difficult beyond measure, a learning … Continue reading Recap Part 1
