That move means I won't have my first baby with the nurses and doctors FRIENDS who have supported me through more than 2 years of … Continue reading Thursday Thoughts

I've had a fertility update written for several weeks now, but have been too lazy to upload the photos which is why you have yet to see it! And then yesterday I found myself in stirrups waiting for my 10th+ (I'm starting to lose track) transvaginal ultrasound and now the entire update has changed!     Let's do a little recap. … Continue reading So This is Happening…

Go beach camping they said, it will be fun they said. Actually, no one said that...and for good reason. Beach camping sounded like a great idea.
