There are a handful of you that I know I could e-mail this directly to, but I am feeling the need to have a mass collection of tips. So please tell me everything to try and or avoid when it comes to PIO injections. I am pretty certain that Mother will be able to help, [...]
In a little over 5 hours I will be getting knocked up. (how’s that for positive thinking?) However, the amount of current discomfort I am in is insane. I’ve bitched about bloating before, but in comparison I was being a wimp. Now, today, right this very minute, I have the biggest most bloated gut ever. [...]
Huey Lewis was on to something. This morning the song that came on the radio as I was leaving the Fertility Clinic was Huey’s, “Doing it all for my baby”. Now while the entire song is not apropos, that one line of the chorus certainly is. & fuck it all if I didn’t start bawling [...]
I’ve spent a lot of time day dreaming and plotting what I would do if I found out I was pregnant. I’m sure many of us have those fantasies of how we will tell our friends, our parents, the blogosphere. In my head there is an entire warehouse of such hopes. It’s getting kind of [...]

Ah, the joys of an early morning date with the dildo cam, the monkey wand, the trans-vaginal ultrasound. You’d think that after a bazillion of these cooter camera coffee talks that I would be more blah about it. But I tell you there is something almost sweet about that first wanding after some time off. [...]
After a thirty five day hiatus an old friend has joined me & I could not be more thrilled. I’m sure she stayed away because I was so stressed out with Mom’s move or maybe it was all those other months where I begged her to stay the fuck away. Perhaps she did not like [...]
That obsessive listening for something, anything that will reveal the answer to a question. THE question. You know, the, “am I knocked up or what?” question. I’m trying to distract myself. I baked a fabulous loaf of banana bread. I created a photo book for Mom to take on her trip. I burned a road [...]
Yesterday, as I helped my Mother pack, she asked me how I was feeling. It took me a minute (literally, a full minute) to understand what she was asking. We’ve been so caught up with her move and related family drama that I hadn’t spent an enormous amount of time vocalizing a minute by minute [...]
