I guess I should first of all apologize if my language offends anyone. I think that to have the most expansive vocabulary, you cannot restrict yourself from using certain words because that would just be limiting. 😉 Thanks to my parents who finally gave up on getting angry at me for cursing around the age… Continue reading The Monthly Mind Fuck

Me & Uncle Bob
My dad sent me these pictures to aid in my story! Hilarious, at the very least.
Baby Arlo and My Blind Uncle Bob
My first (and favorite) nephew turned 1 today! I can't believe how fast time flies. I sent my brother & sister-in-law some khaki overalls that have pineapples on them with a matching hat. He will look like a tiny island man. I'm sure they're thrilled to have them because you can never have enough khaki.… Continue reading Baby Arlo and My Blind Uncle Bob
In Vino Felicitas (or IVF…)
I tend to like the phrase "In wine, there is happiness" rather than in vitro fertilization, so I'm going with that. I finally stopped neglecting my packet of information, akin to my AP US History study guides and opened up the "literature." I've been avoiding looking at it because it terrifies me. Why? I don't… Continue reading In Vino Felicitas (or IVF…)

If you would prefer to not have updates, just let me know, I am mainly… Continue reading The emails
The Results of IUI #3
I woke up the next day, feeling sprightly. It was Friday and it had been a particularly challenging week. I was ready to conquer the day with a positive attitude. I went to the doctor's office at 7:45 AM ready for the ultrasound. I didn't have to wait long - it was the first appointment… Continue reading The Results of IUI #3
IUI #3
For those of you reading this, please know that I'm writing a history of how I remember it, so it might not be exactly right. Once I'm on to present day feelings, I'm sure I will be able to recall more specifics, etc. I called the doctor's office, as planned on day 1 of my… Continue reading IUI #3
The Day After (IUI #2)
So, the day after IUI #2, I went back to the doctor's office for the ultrasound to confirm ovulation. I'm feeling pumped, slightly nervous, and ready to get good news. I get there, go back to the room, undress from the waist down, and wait for a few minutes. The friend who told me about… Continue reading The Day After (IUI #2)
