Coffee and Tea: January 2015
http://coffeeandteafamily.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 29, 2015. As many people know, one of the biggest societal measures of whether a white parent is really doing a "good job" raising a black (or mixed) child is hair. I'm not saying this is the right. But I don't control the outside world. And for the outside world, I know, hair is Important. Did any of you see that scene in Orange is the New Black where Suzanne/Crazy Eyes is at the hospital meeting her new baby sister, and the nurse does her hair? I think Bean looks beautiful. I've g...

The madcap adventures of a single woman who went to the bank to become a mommy. Rest in peace, Grandma. April 1, 2014. 8220;She was a good Christian woman and a pillar of the community,” he said. The Methodist preacher was a small man sporting a bow tie and a bad dye job and an even worse eyebrow job. He looked like Moose had taken a Sharpie to his face. The saint to whom he was referring was Grandma Bean. I nudged Sissy and whispered. “Is he talking about our. Are we at the right church? It turned out t...

Welcome to my Mission to be a Mom! Friday, September 13, 2013. So much has been happening. Having the mock transfer. Check off. Today, the doctor a...

Coffee and Tea: Why Are All These People Black?
http://coffeeandteafamily.blogspot.com/2015/08/why-are-all-these-people-black.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. Why Are All These People Black? A couple of weeks ago, Monkey asked me why all of the bus drivers at his camp were black. I didn't really know how answer him in an age-appropriate way, so I kind of deflected the question. But it bothered me that I didn't have an answer. I was a bit let down, but I figured I'd let him process the information in bits and pieces. By following his lead, I can explain things as he's ready. At least it was a good start. Is the time he's starting to not...

And Then There Were 2!!!: July 2014
http://jennandtate.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
And Then There Were 2! I can't remember a time I didn't want to be a mother. I waited to meet the man who would love me forever and be a father to my children. At 39, he hadn't arrived. I knew I was meant to be someone's mom, so my life plan changed. At 41, I got pregnant on my first try with home insemination! Nine months later, my beautiful boy, Tate arrived! We've been together now for over a year. I'm happy, exhausted and in love. I wouldn't have my life as a choice mom any other way! He completely e...

A journey of hope - infertility, loss and pregnancy: 30 weeks and getting bigger!
http://arainbowblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/30-weeks-and-getting-bigger.html
A journey of hope - infertility, loss and pregnancy. PCOS and infertility - a quick reference tool. Monday, 27 July 2015. 30 weeks and getting bigger! I am now down to fortnightly checks! This is always the fun part as we get closer to meeting this baby! I don't have it. I felt like celebrating, as having GD would have landed me back as high risk, and mentally I could not cope with that! Still stick and vomiting (when I cough it sets me off, I barely vomited with my son). We think we both (husband and i)...

baby f1rst: April 2011
http://babyf1rst.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 12, 2011. Is that a solid line or. Well, I'm pretty sure I may have had an LH surge yesterday, but I'm not 100% positive because I cheaped out and bought the ovulation kit that shows 2 lines instead of the smiley face, and it's so damn hard to read! That was stupid. So I bought the smiley face one yesterday and when I tested myself this morning, it was negative. You can't get a positive 2 days in a row right? Links to this post. Thursday, April 7, 2011. So, I am ready to go! B" is for Baby.
