We had our first ultrasound for E2 today, at 6w1d. The little bean is looking great, and we could see its heartbeat flashing. I'll go back to the RE one more time in two weeks for an ultrasound at...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Infertility has done nothing if not strengthen my pro-choice beliefs. I won't repeat Mel's excellent post about Mississippi's personhood legislation, but I...

Yikes! I cannot believe it's been over a month since my last post! It's been a pretty crazy month around here, though, so that's what I'll pass off as an excuse to you... :/ We had a couple of...
View ArticleBack Again, at 30 Weeks
Well, it's been awhile...again...and I'm not even going to bother with one of those posts where I give all the updates, as that'd be too exhausting, and well, I'm not sure you're interested either!...

View ArticleWelcome to Our Window
Welcome to a window into our world. I previously blogged as "Lucy" at Body Diaries by Lucy, but my feeling that that space wasn't quite the right fit for me anymore was one reason I wasn't blogging...

It's been a long time since I've participated in ICLW. Since I wasn't blogging regularly, it didn't make any sense to participate really...and I am quite the lurker, reading many blogs, but reading...

Yep...you're going to get a post all about poop...so feel free to take a pass if you want;) For about two weeks, Moose's diapers have been mostly yellow, with a hint of green. I wasn't too concerned,...

J wrote Monkey's birth story for me, and I found that I liked his perspective. After much prompting for him to do the same for Moose, he was finally able to find the time to write it, and I was able to...
View ArticleMilk, Soy....and Eggs, Oh My!

My cousin's wife runs an embroidery business, Maggie's Embroidered Gifts, and she sent us the cutest embroidered gift for Moose. It matches the nursery perfectly, too! I just love the saying, "The...
