    Wednesday, June 18, 2008 | A Painful story

    My tubes are coming out in the morning. I am sad and scared at the same time. Yes, I am sad that the tubes I was born with that were supposed to do their job and help me get pregnant will be removed, but I am even more upset about something else.

    I figured our second birthday without him would be easier than the first . . . WRONG!

    Tuesday, May 26, 2009 | A Painful story

    This morning I woke feeling pretty bad. I didn't sleep well, had nightmares and was in pain. Since DF and I took today as a vacation day I decided to pop some migraine meds and turn on the TV. The story showing was of a couple who had done IVF, had five girls and were expecting a sixth child, their first son (not from IVF). As I watched her go into labor and deliver her child I wondered h...
