Over the years I have struggled with allowing God's will with my infertility. I have knowingly had a hard time completely giving my will up to God for His because I am so afraid that His will for me does not include a biological child or pregnancy. I feel myself holding on to my will because I want it so much.
In all other aspects of my life I have been able to hand over my will for His,...

As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess! I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok. When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...4 Recommendations23 Comments

DF is a Rock Star! We did ER today. They got 13 eggs and DF's sample came in at, get this, 60 million and 23% motility! That is the highest count to date for him. He also managed to get motility from 0% to 23% in 3 months! I did not want to open my eyes when I first woke up after the ER. I did not want to have to wait for the embryologist to come give us the report. I was scard...1 Recommendation15 Comments

I FINALLY got the scale down past 124! This morning is 123.5! (I know, only a half a pound, but I will take it!) How did I achieve this? Not eating all the crap that is around me! It is every where, especially at work. But I have had ZERO of it! I knew if I had it once, I would keep going. I also brought breakfast and lunch almost every day the past week or two and it was mostly protein. My f...1 Recommendation13 Comments

if you have read the previous entry this entry will possibly make more sense and add more details of where my heart was the night of the wedding. In this single night I learned a lot about myself, my friends, people who I have misunderstood and how much this woman loves me.. early in the night I ran into an old friend at the reception. he was a good friend in high school we used to d...1 Recommendation12 Comments

I am learning that too much information may not be such a good thing for my emotional well being.
I have always wanted to be right on top of things, I will research a subject endlessly to learn all that I can about it. Lately I have been over-saturating my brain with information about MSA and I am finding that right now I want to stop with all the information.
Instead of worrying about all t...1 Recommendation10 Comments -
I think we can all agree tonight is a historic night. Regardless of how you feel about Obama I hope we are all inspired by the amazing turnout and the emotional investment in this election we have never seen before.
Today I was doing rounds at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center. It is common to have many folks hanging out in the waiting rooms outside of the surgical ICU waiting for the "5 ...2 Recommendations8 Comments -
Becuase this meant so much to me, I wanted to share it with the women in my life who also mean so much. There are two parts to this story. One, my younger sister who lives with me is leaving tomorrow to go back to college. Two, today is my 35th birthday. We got up early this morning to meet up with my Mom and go help my older sister who is in a bit of a crisis. I stopped at my computer to check i...1 Recommendation9 Comments

As I sit here at my computer wide awake and contemplating how my life has changed so much in a year a deep sense of sadness fills the depths of me. I struggle daily with pain that to me is beyond bearable at times. My gait has changed due to the pain in my legs. A year ago I danced at my daughter’s wedding; now hating to admit it but reality check in mind...I could not dance today if I had ...3 Recommendations7 Comments

I've been thinking lately about all my prayers over the years. Those that were answered and those that did not seem to be. Since I've known for a long time I had reproductive issues I always prayed to have children. Well, that prayer was answered just not how I wanted. I ended up running 3 child care centers at the same time and had hundreds of children under my care every day. (I started...1 Recommendation8 Comments
