Mama Kat’s Writing Workshop: Tell Me Something Good
There was a bevy of prompts that we could have chosen this week at Mama Kat’s Workshop but I wanted to tell the story of ONE of the phone calls that would change my life. Enjoy!!!_________________________________________________________________________Our days had been starting so early for weeks, nerves were high, butts were sore with progesterone. The one and only…
Here they are…..
So I am currently 3dp5dt. Here are Kanoodle and Gardoodle. Ok I’ll explain. From the beginning one of my pet names for Mr. Kir has been Doodle…Doodlebug etc. I always called him that, even in front of people (which used to really annoy him) it turned into Boodle about a year ago and so when…
Eggs *updated again*
I have been very quiet lately haven’t I? This comes from the part of me that is always afraid that if I start to be happy the other shoe will drop. Plus this weekend, things were so confusing that many times I was waffling between posting and not because I was crying and worrying so…
Lucky 11?
Ok, so we had our 2nd monitoring appt. I am still feeling very “out of service” lately but we got there. New nurse taking my blood (she’s very nice) and Dr T was there, first time I ever saw a dr at the satellite office. WHOA. She was the one who would do my u/s…
Disconnected
That is how I am feeling through all of this stimming. Very Disconnected. Like I am in limbo, very far away from what is happening to my body and ovaries and how quickly it’s going to happen. I was having some questions and trouble with the shots, but I called on Serenity, and Jenn and…

Moving Forward
The news is good, John is not a carrier for CF. (I got the call yesterday while I was home with a monster sinus headache.) I can’t tell you how relieved I am about that. So today I took my last BCP this morning , Friday I go for B/W and an U/S and Saturday…
When 3 out of 4 Ain’t Bad
I’m sorry to keep you all waiting. It seems to me that I have lots to say but I never had the “time” to get here and say it. So it’s time to talk about our orientation. The good and the bad. SOOOO, last week was a hard one for me, I was fighting a…
The Kindness of Strangers
So I’ve been suppressing and cleaning out my closets, stuffing sweaters I am never gonna wear again into bags for people who will wear them. Mr Kir has been in the backyard using “Pat.chMas.ter” and mulch. We’ve just been living, getting ready for our IVF, trying our best to stay distracted and in good spirits….
