Rambling Stories

Hope is usually something positive that I can't function with out, but right now, I wish I had a little less. I felt really good about this cycle even before we decided to go with the IUI. The greater the hope the harder the disappointment will hit.
Yesterday I was trying to set my aspirations a little more realistic. I researched chances of a successful IUI, finding dramatic...

It is New Year's Eve and I am typically pretty sentimental about this day. This year I decided to contact some old friends I haven't heard from in a while. I got back a spattering of generic e-mails from a few: Happy Holidays, everything is great, blah, blah, blah.
One of the people I did get a call back from was my best friend. We were college roommates, so close ...1 Recommendation10 Comments -
Warning this will be a rambling entry. I feel if I don't get all my thoughts and emotions down I will lose it...
In a couple of hours I have my post op appointment. I am just dreading it. First of all Im not looking forward to sitting in the waiting room with all the pg bellies and that was the same room where we sat only a few weeks ago so excited our hearts full of all of our hopes and dream...1 Recommendation11 Comments -
I always thought I was a compulsive planner and liked to be prepared for everything, or at least as much as any laid back Type-B person can be. Well, guess I need to kick my OCD tendencies into overdrive for the next few weeks.
Yesterday was my first day of summer vacation. I managed to weasel, manipulate, and complete an exorbitant amount of work early so that I could keep my summer f...1 Recommendation11 Comments -
I thought this confrontation was going to be the hardest. This one scared me the most. Not because it was the most awful, but because I have carried it around for so long. After a discussion with my wonderful friend Ana I had an epiphany – a cathartic experience. I realize how incredibly silly it is. Feel free to laugh at my ridiculousness. I am!&nb...1 Recommendation12 Comments

So I never thought that I would still be pregnant at this point! I passed the 30 weeks mark, thank God. My OB appointment was really bad yesterday, while I wasn't having contractions yesterday, my whole NST strip showed nothing but uterine irritibility. My OB is glad it's not contractions, but even with the doubling of my contraction meds, it doesn't seem to be helping the irribility....1 Recommendation11 Comments

I just need to vent this out to get it out of my head. I think I am going crazy.
The transfer was Monday, so I rested all day and all day Tuesday. Today I go back to work. My 2ww is actually an 8 day wait this time. I thought it would be cake walk given how many times I've been through this, but I am already 100% insane.
I hate to say it. I hate to think it. ...1 Recommendation10 Comments -
I apologize in advance if there are a lot of mis spellings, etc. I am so tired and high (from prescription narcotics). Calm down everyone, I'll explain.
So today I quick ran to the store for a few things, while James stayed home to let in the cleaning lady we hired to do a fall cleaning before Ava comes. They lady knew I was a complicated pregnancy and was on bedrest but I was still embarrasse...2 Recommendations14 Comments -
So this whole pregnancy thing can be as confusing as the 2ww sometimes.
Some moments I am overwhelmed by all of the classic pregnancy symptoms I have. Then I wonder why they are so bad so early. Other times, like today, I feel pretty good and I worry that something is wrong because the symptoms have decreased so much. Maybe I am just getting the hang of it: eat often,...1 Recommendation11 Comments
