Stumbling through recurrent pregnancy loss. How we got here. Where we are now. Many days, weeks, and months later I woke up this morning at 5 am unable to fall back asleep and found myself composing a post in my head. I’ve often thought about logging back on and writing, but today feels different. There are many potential reasons why which I will try to get to along with a long overdue update about my Combo and me. At the hospital by an unknown pediatrician? We are still circling around and this will lik...

The Ultimate Oxymoron: 3rd Trimester!
http://theultimateoxymoron.blogspot.com/2014/06/3rd-trimester.html
A tale of life, love, and the pursuit of motherhood. Wednesday, June 18, 2014. Wow, has it really been 4 weeks since I last posted? Sorry folks, I guess there just hasn't been much to tell. I'm struggling with what to say on this blog now that I am finally expecting my miracle.so I'll just stick to the boring ol' updates. How far along: 28 weeks.there are several different ideas on when each trimester starts, but I am going to say that 28 weeks sounds good for the 3rd trimester :). Size of baby: eggplant.

Stumbling through recurrent pregnancy loss. How we got here. The days keep ticking by in a mostly uneventful blur of work, sleep, and bland food. My once-sharp mind seems almost incapable of finishing a spoken sentence, let alone writing anything coherent. But, I will try all the same. Last week included back-to-back appointments – graduation day. As we wrapped up the appointment, Kate explained that typically we wouldn’t be seen again for about six weeks. Gah!

The Ultimate Oxymoron: November 2014
http://theultimateoxymoron.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
A tale of life, love, and the pursuit of motherhood. Friday, November 28, 2014. Birth Story, Part 1. Wow, I can't believe I have been absent for so long this time. The only excuse I have is that dealing with a newborn is so much more time-consuming than I realized! It is amazing, but I rarely have my hands free for long enough to write up a blog post. Here is the beginning of my long birth story. Sorry for all of the details, but I wanted to have something to look back on for my own recollection. The Sti...

A tale of life, love, and the pursuit of motherhood. Monday, September 22, 2014. No, this is not a birth story. If I have any readers left at this point, I would be shocked!

The Ultimate Oxymoron: December 2014
http://theultimateoxymoron.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
A tale of life, love, and the pursuit of motherhood. Monday, December 22, 2014. Birth Story, the finale. Call me naive, but I thought that once I agreed to the c section, things would get easier. Once again, I was wrong. Once the sheet was up, my husband was allowed back in. I was struggling to keep my eyes open. Did I mention it was almost midnight? I had been up and in labor all day long without any rest, and now I was afraid I was going to fall asleep and miss my baby boy's birth! Birth Story, Part 2.

Stumbling through recurrent pregnancy loss. How we got here. I’ve been composing posts in my head all week, but whenever I have had the time to sit at my computer and write them I can’t seem to summon the desire. Energy is lacking every minute of every day so expending any extra to move my fingers across a keyboard seems like too much to ask. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. July 22, 2014.
