As we face moments of pain in our life, in the midst of them they seem as if they will never, ever end. We can feel like we are in an abyss of hurt that is impossible to surmount. One of my most painful journeys has probably been the journey of infertility and miscarriage. I…

One year has flown by…
One year ago July 6th we found out our big news that our loooong road of infertility was finally coming to a close. It’s hard to believe that was a year ago. (I still have the pregnancy test. Is that too gross?) In some ways it seems a lifetime ago, and in others it seems…
Well, well, well….
Two pink lines…Can you believe it???????????? I know you may have been wondering what’s going on in the fertility front since I haven’t posted in a while… I did take a test and got a negative as I posted earlier, but I decided to take another last Friday since my cycle hadn’t started yet. Surprise!…
"I Would Die For That"
Until you have experienced the burden of infertility, it is hard to understand what it really feels like. Amazingly, this music video by Kellie Coffey (who is Academy of Country Music’s Top New Female Vocalist) does a good job of expressing the struggles of infertility to all the “fertile myrtles” out there who just can’t…
Fertility…er… Infertility Update
No good news on the fertility front. Two times was not the charm, unfortunately.I took yet another HPT and received the lovely big fat negative once again. I just might faint if it ever does give me a positive. Speaking of HPT’s, did you ever wonder why they keep them locked up behind glass in…
Good News on the Home Front…
Haylee slept fine through the night and had no fever when she woke up this morning. Yippee! I am cautiously optimistic that this rules out strep since the fever went away. I am so glad she is feeling better. Life is always crazy with a sick little one. I read this morning in Psalms. I’m…
Oh, the pain….
Our instructions were to take the shot of ovidrel tonight somewhere between 6 pm and 8 pm. At 7:45 pm I was going to head out to the store to get my grocery game shopping out of the way in light of B’s little one making his way into the world. I glanced at the…
Two Time’s the Charm?
We rose at the crack of dawn this morning and headed out to REACH for my blood work and ultrasound. I do believe every time I have stepped foot in that office they have stuck me with a needle and taken my blood. Quite obsessive of them, I think. My ultrasound showed two mature eggs…
Fertility funk
In case anyone is wondering… this is another month of no good news. I was really hopeful, but I took another disappointing home pregnancy test. If you only knew how many of those I’ve taken in our marriage. I would hate to have a tally of how much $$ we’ve spent on the silly things….
Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mommies out there. We have such a blessed job that we too often begrudge and don’t appreciate. I’m so thankful to be a mommy. I don’t know how others experience infertility with the plaguing thought haunting them that they may never hold their own child in their arms. As…
