For those of you who are well-versed in my musical taste, you're well aware that I generally despise Coldplay. I find Chris Martin to be unbearable and their music to be unoriginally maudlin. I'll allow "Fix You" to be the exception. Unfortunately, I'm no longer pregnant. I went in early on Thursday, anxiously awaiting what… Continue reading Fix You

Homecoming (FET)
Yesterday, I went to work until 12, then went to acupuncture at 2. Acupuncture was not as relaxing as it normally was simply due to the anticipation of what was to come. After acupuncture, I chugged 48 oz of water and met J at home to go to our transfer. The 48 oz of water… Continue reading Homecoming (FET)
Salsa
Hy-Vee, like most grocery stores, will add something to their inventory if you request it incessantly enough. For the first two years I was back in Columbia, Hy-Vee refused to stock a KC staple of Margarita's salsa. So, my parents would bring to me or I'd stock up when I was visiting. Finally, they started… Continue reading Salsa
It’s the final countdown…
I'm pretty sure I had a different title picked out yesterday and it felt more inventive. Perhaps I'll think of it in a bit. Yesterday, at 7:45 AM sharp (well, who are we kidding, I was there 15 minutes prior), I went in to the doctor. I read a magazine and caught up on some… Continue reading It’s the final countdown…
Anniversaries: the chosen birthdays
I've always had a knack for dates. Whenever I believe something important is happening, I take a mental picture of that moment. That mind photo - more often than not - is time stamped. Anniversaries are very important to me. They commemorate a time when you purposefully chose to do something, to enter a new… Continue reading Anniversaries: the chosen birthdays
Girl Power
I mistakenly thought that my estrogen oil was going to be similar to other shots in the past. Then I tried to load it in the syringe...it is so thick that it took an oddly long amount of time to do. I thought I was doing it incorrectly, but I think it's just extremely viscous.… Continue reading Girl Power
Operation Build-A-Womb: Part 2
A couple days ago, I got my new calendar! It is my seventh blue folder and I'm hoping the last (for now, at least). I then spent some time reveling in the practice of precisely writing my medicine and appointment schedule down and making new countdowns in my three planners. It's not very cute anymore… Continue reading Operation Build-A-Womb: Part 2
Every day is a winding road…
Ever notice how some tv shows, in an effort to be trendy, name their episodes after a song, allude to the title in some obscure way and call it a masterpiece? It's usually dramatically vague enough to tie into any hospital day and make some semblance of sense. Maybe I'll start doing that with these… Continue reading Every day is a winding road…
Thick AF: for Alcohol pads and uterine linings only
First of all, to define AF for my older readers: it means "as fuck" or a superlative to add to any adjective. (Ex. Cool af = cool as fuck = super, duper cool.) I've been known to be called "thick" in my lifetime. Not meant as a pejorative, simply something to indicate my size. There… Continue reading Thick AF: for Alcohol pads and uterine linings only
Solo dos semanas!
Two weeks from yesterday is when my transfer is! We are extremely excited, though per usual, I'm more emphatic than J. I thought I had avoided the headaches that come with this round of meds - or had built up a tolerance - but, they came slamming back into my life yesterday which is a… Continue reading Solo dos semanas!
