Fumbling Towards Here: STAYCATION

http://fumblingtowardshere.blogspot.com/2008/09/staycation.html

Thursday, September 4, 2008. I am still trying to get my sweetie to a yoga class. First class is only ten bucks. She says she's game, we'll see. She's trying to get me to walk more. It's free. Four" "And how many children do you have? None" "Ok." It was the nonchalant reminder of my history he invoked that lit tiny angry embers in my heart and left me in a bad mood for the rest of that day. So while we were recapturing the bliss and tasting four different kinds of mac and cheese (who knew? First step&#46...

Taking a different path to parenthood, quitting infertility treatments and hoping to adopt through the California foster care system. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. I found it to be cute and clever, just like J. Will appreciate this, it's your home state with a whole new logo. Hope it makes you smile 1/2 as much as it made me smile. I plan to put it on my desk at work tomorrow and/or possibly make a necklace out of it. Do you think that would be too much? Links to this post. Sunday, February 22, 2009. Where...

Fumbling Towards Here: In Case You Didn't Know

http://fumblingtowardshere.blogspot.com/2008/08/in-case-you-didnt-know.html

Tuesday, August 26, 2008. In Case You Didn't Know. About her breathing capacity, but in the end she did it lovingly and movingly. That is the kind of woman she is. She shows up for her friends and does her best to meet her obligations with competence and grace. It is in times like these I am struck with awe at my beloved's. Tenacity of will and focus even with personal adversity. Today I am feeling grateful. Still clueless, but grateful. August 27, 2008 at 5:13 AM. August 27, 2008 at 8:32 AM. Lord knows ...

Sluggish Butterfly: Closing!

http://sluggishbutterfly.blogspot.com/2011/10/closing.html

I think I can, I think I can. Friday, October 14, 2011. Then the real fun begins. On a different, odd note, for the first time in a decade, I got my period and was really pleased. The last thing I needed on top of work stress and drama, a historic home with serious needs, and a toddler was another pregnancy ride. Funny how things change, eh? Congrats on closing on your house! And yes, this starts another adventure! October 14, 2011 at 8:54 AM. Baby Smiling In Back Seat. October 14, 2011 at 10:45 PM.

Sluggish Butterfly: Lessons learned

http://sluggishbutterfly.blogspot.com/2011/09/lessons-learned.html

I think I can, I think I can. Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Never post your 8 week ultrasound shots on facebook. At least, don't do it publicly. While I pray my friend will be fine, she's in her mid-30s or so. And has talked about trying for a long time (which may be why she's jumped the gun, imho). Ooh, I get those feelings too. I hope Irony is distracted by something else for a few weeks. September 27, 2011 at 3:47 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). May 2009-Find out we're having a boy. April-July ...

Road to adopt: June 2010

http://roadtoadopt.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

A long road less travelled. But one that is worth the wait. Tuesday, June 15, 2010. I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise to me that my FSH level is at 13.6. I probably should be thankful that it isn't higher. We don't know what this will mean for the future. I have to say that right now I am leaning towards trying donor eggs. Why bother to use my own eggs, if the result is most likely to be negative? But you won't believe what kind of comments people here make all the time: "Is this your child? Or the...

Road to adopt: October 2010

http://roadtoadopt.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

A long road less travelled. But one that is worth the wait. Sunday, October 31, 2010. Of the 6 eggs we got, two weren't mature. One didn't fertilize. So, it looks like we might be able to transfer three on Tuesday. Hold your fingers crossed that they grow and stick this time. Saturday, October 30, 2010. Strong and sticky embryos needed. Today at the retrieval we got six little eggs. Let's hope the ICSI will do the trick and let them grow into six strong and sticky embryos. The doctor was at a conference,...
