Life has been racing along. I am working on various projects, and trying to keep up with it all. L is doing the same. We are attempting not to allow the cruel hand of infertility or fertility treatme...
Some things that are making my life a little happier right now. 1) The Fifty Shades Trilogy. Holy f*ck! Its absolute trash and I love it. My world has gone to the dogs in the past week, because I can...
I managed to live to see the other side of Mothers Day despite my causing quite the scene about it (see previous post). I pulled myself out of "the funk" by taking my mom and grandma out to a...
**I break from my regularly scheduled "Im feeling happy" posts to bring you an "Im feeling shitty" post. I think from the title, you can guess what this one is about.** --- Mothers Da...
In the 4+ years since I started this blog, I dont believe I have ever taken a month off from writing! From wedding planning to getting married to newlywed status and beyond, I have had A LOT to say. ...
I keep meaning to say something. I have mentally written a dozen blog posts in the past few weeks. The truth is that I have nothing to say, and everything to say at the same time. No, Im not pregnant...
I cant wait for his new album. This song is pretty much on repeat forever. I connect with it so deeply, especially in terms of my marriage. Mraz, you slay me.
March is Endometriosis Awareness Month! I am working with an incredible group of women to help educate and spread awareness about endometriosis. With 5.5 million women in North America alone be...
Life has been really weird since we found out the IUI didnt work. I dont know. Im just so over this shit. Thinking about it makes me angry and bitter, and I dont want to walk around pissed off every ...
Thank you to each and every person who has commented, emailed, or silently sent us good thoughts for our IUI. Sadly, the IUI was not successful which was 100% confirmed by my period four days before ...
Well, guys, we did it. After four botched cycles, we actually completed our first IUI! We are currently starting the infamous two week wait. I have been silent about all of this, mostly because Ive b...
Last month, my mom brought her dog Jake over to our place for some doggy play time. Jake and Henry are best friends. My mom adopted Jake a few months after we adopted Henry. Jake was about two years ...
source I may be exaggerating a bit (just a smidge) but lately it feels like everyone is pregnant or has a baby. I know this imaginary phenomenon is nothing new in the land of the baby wannabes, ...
Ive had an Instagram account for a long time. However, it wasnt until recently that I discovered that not only can I edit my photos in cool ways, but I can add friends, too. Yes, Im a little slow. If...
This year I have decided to decrease my spending on online deal sites. I am mainly referring to Groupon, but also Living Social, TravelZoo Deals, and other coupon/deal website. I have been thinking a...
For the past couple of weeks, anxiety has been sneakily and subtly creeping back in my life. It started out like before: a distinct feeling of being overwhelmed. I was in a public place, and all of a...
I have been desperately searching every nook and cranny of my brain for inspiration. This has gone on for awhile. I love to feel inspired, and I feel like my creative juices have dried up, and all my...
Last week, L and I caught an M83 concert at Club Nokia in downtown LA. It was my Christmas present from L and the pups. ;) M83 was fantastic in concert, and the venue was a lot of fun. Intimate...
You know those blog posts you read from pregnant women, "Things No One Told Me About Pregnancy"? There should also be one entitled "Things No One Told Me About Infertility and/or Fertilit...
As a married woman in my thirties, I have felt a good amount of internal and external pressure lately to partake in domestic activities. If youve read this blog for awhile or even just look at the bl...
Before I babble on about the new year, I hope all of you enjoyed your holidays! For us, Christmas 2011 was a time to be with family, eat, and relax. *** L and I decided to go on a walk just the two o...
I havent been able to keep up with #WEVerb11, but, truth be told, I never intended on answering every prompt. To me, the point is to find a way to reflect on the past twelve months, and to find nugge...
I looked back at my posts lately, and realized that I dont have much to show for my writing (or my life for that matter) other than blubbering on about trying to conceive. It has become somewhat of a...
In the past few years, my body image has faced a couple of heavy hitters. We have been trying to conceive for an estimated twenty-four cycles (not sure of the exact number) without a positive. I have...
Learn. What lesson did you learn in 2011 from "The School of Life" rather than a classroom? I learned a few things this year. One lesson isnt more important than the other two, so I fig...
The menstrual gods have it out for me this month. Im two days late. No, Im not pregnant. I had a run-in with clomid earlier this month, and apparently it can cause your cycles to become abnormally lo...
Listen. What song did you listen to in 2011 to completely change your mood? Think about ways you can you add more music to your life in 2012. When I read this prompt, one song instantaneo...
I am participating in WEVerb11. For more information, go here. Choose one word. Encapsulate the year 2011 in one word. Explain why. Imagine it’s one year from today, what would you like the word to b...
Ok. I made a pact with myself and L that I wouldnt talk about any part of our fertility journey if one or both of us deemed it too personal or too sensitive. Apparently we havent reached that point y...
I went into my blog archives and looked up what we were doing at this time last year. Well, I should re-phrase that. I know what we were doing (attending a funeral for Ls uncle), but I wanted to revi...
