Waiting for a crumbcake: January 2006

Waiting for a crumbcake. Thoughts on creating a home and on being home . to an embryo, that is. Tuesday, January 31, 2006. The IV. They were about to cut my abdomen open and muck around with my internal organs and I was worried about a poke in the hand. Pathetic. I was composed. I asked questions. I took notes. And I didn't cry until after we had left. Posted by sube @ 5:45 PM. Thursday, January 26, 2006. My life for the next 8 weeks. We got our IVF calendar. And it's hanging on the fridge. But that does...

Waiting for a crumbcake: March 2006

Waiting for a crumbcake. Thoughts on creating a home and on being home . to an embryo, that is. Saturday, March 18, 2006. Getting back on the bike. You know what they say about falling off a bike: you have to get right back on. I got my period today, so it looks as if I've fallen off the bike. I'm bruised and battered, but mostly I feel numb. J and I haven't cried. I don't know where the tears are. They feel trapped in the ache inside my chest. Posted by sube @ 1:02 PM. Friday, March 17, 2006. Since my I...

Waiting for a crumbcake: October 2006

http://waitingforacrumbcake.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html

Waiting for a crumbcake. Thoughts on creating a home and on being home . to an embryo, that is. Tuesday, October 31, 2006. The most boring post ever. I'll just apologize for that upfront. There has been much going on, but little that's of general interest. Our house has been on the market for just under a week. Thankfully the Seattle housing market is still relatively hot, and we accepted a nice offer last night. If all goes smoothly, we'll move in early December. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Waiting for a crumbcake: February 2006

http://waitingforacrumbcake.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html

Waiting for a crumbcake. Thoughts on creating a home and on being home . to an embryo, that is. Tuesday, February 28, 2006. Reports of my ovarian demise have been (somewhat) exaggerated. After the ovarian death sentence delivered by Dr. Crappy. On Sunday, J and I met with our actual doctor this morning and he painted a picture that was not quite so dire - not great, mind you, but not dire. Seeing as I had convinced myself I would never have children using my own eggs, "not great" seems like a step up.

Waiting for a crumbcake: June 2006

http://waitingforacrumbcake.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html

Waiting for a crumbcake. Thoughts on creating a home and on being home . to an embryo, that is. Friday, June 30, 2006. I spent some time with a counselor yesterday. The same one who helped me work through some issues before my last IVF cycle. She tells me the grieving process typically takes 6 weeks. I'm penciling it into my day planner as we speak. Was for me to hiss through clenched teeth, "I need. You to Stop. Asking. Me That.". But, this six weeks thing? It's liberating. Basically it's a six-week...

Waiting for a crumbcake: July 2006

http://waitingforacrumbcake.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html

Waiting for a crumbcake. Thoughts on creating a home and on being home . to an embryo, that is. Sunday, July 23, 2006. Back and gone again. I'm back, sunburned and bug bitten. My trip was uneventful and (mostly) relaxing just as it should have been. I'm busy this weekend with a friend's wedding that includes a weekend full of wedding-related activities. (Which explains why I'm up at 7:00 am on a Sunday morning. Have I ever mentioned that I'm not. Posted by sube @ 7:10 AM. Saturday, July 08, 2006. She tol...

Waiting for a crumbcake: September 2006

Waiting for a crumbcake. Thoughts on creating a home and on being home . to an embryo, that is. Saturday, September 30, 2006. Speaking of poor decisions. My beta is tomorrow. I've done a good job of remaining upbeat and cautiously hopeful all week. But in these final hours my confidence is failing me. I'm convinced I'm experiencing PMS symptoms. So, what am I doing this afternoon to keep myself entertained and distracted? A trip to the movies? Nope Some time at the spa? What the hell was I thinking?
