Umbrella…

April 9, 2010

The darnest thing happened today as I was returning from my OB/GYN appointment. I heard Rhianna’s song, UMBRELLA on the radio and imagined how my future daughter would respond to it. I could see her singing it with such joy in her face. It’s not salacious and it’s perfect for kids. Then I remembered that [...]

Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!

April 7, 2010

So. As I am struggling with lack of sleep and/or too much sleep for remainder of day, I have had a fried brain. Writing has been tough because sitting or laying down is tough. So is standing up. My remedy at nine months knocked up? A shower. For some reason it helps relax me in [...]

Falling upward…when IVF does not work the first time

March 31, 2010

So. A friend of mine had her blood test yesterday after her 2WW and she is not carrying any children. Sucks. Her IVF #1 did not take. She and her husband had a rough time, getting through the night, knowing they would wake up and be asked by co-workers, “Sooooo? What’s the news?!” Worse yet, [...]

IVF Grants – More Money for the Piggy Bank

March 27, 2010

So. I am learning a little bit about IVF grants. I wish I had the insight to study up on it way back when. That would have been absolutely worth any of my effort. Heck, I’d have run to across the country in my Asics if it meant an opportunity to be granted some financial [...]

Dreaming in color

March 26, 2010

So. I had this situation happen to me the other day. I was in Duane Reade, standing in line to pay for ice cream (yes!) when a man (also in line) reached over and patted my stomach. “Ooooh. How far along? Boy or girl? I have three!” Hmmm, right? Thing was, he was around my [...]

Back…

March 13, 2010

Sorry for my absence. I needed a respite from the computer as the pregnancy was turning complicated and family issues…more complicated. But all is well and there are blue skies ahead. My due date is soon and I’m learning to breathe on my own. The other day, a close friend of mine told me, “Your [...]

Poor Bedside Manner During IVF – It happens…

February 13, 2010

A friend of mine JUST started her IVF protocol. Tests after tests and birth control pills taken – you know what I am talking about. She’s JUST begun. And guess what? She wants to give up already. I’ll tell you why. POOR bedside manner at her RE’S office. I have to say, I relate to [...]

What is your favorite 80′s band or singer…like totally ever.

January 31, 2010

Grammy’s Schwammy’s.   I miss the 80′s music I used to play on my vinyl records.  I miss my record sleeves and skipping needle.  I miss flipping over the record when I loved and learned every lyric of the first side. My favorite 80′s album of all time was SEVEN AND THE RAGGED TIGER.  Duran [...]

Life After IVF – Part Two

January 30, 2010

So. Part Two. Life after IVF. Bridges crossed. Saying goodbye to a relationship with an RE. Dealing with some sad realities but feeling lucky for the future. I wanted to tell SO many people I was pregnant. I was so afraid I would miscarry my surviving baby that I didn’t want to jinx a thing. [...]
