Last Sunday, May 2nd — Steve got an e-mail from his mom saying that she and her husband, Kelvin, would be pulling in on Monday night. We were expecting them for a visit the beginning of May, but were anticipating a couple of days notice. However, they happened to be in Nashville and their trip…
Chair Railing and Painting…
I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything — we’ve been keeping a wee-bit busy. In the past few weeks, we’ve been staying busy trying to work on some additional house projects. One being the installation of chair railing in our dining room and the other the painting of our guest bath. I…
Project Egg Retrival — Update
For the most part, everything is on schedule and going well. I just wanted to post a quick update. As of Friday, I started feeling/experiencing a great deal of side effects from the birth control. I hate the way my body feels right now and I’m anxious for May 8th to get here. My mom reminded…
So Long, Insecurity…
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been reading the book So Long, Insecurity: You’ve been a bad friend to us by Beth Moore. It’s been a tremendously insightful book into the insecurities of women. And I learned a great deal about myself. I knew I had a few insecurities, but found I had more than I…
Runny Babbit and Friends
A couple of weeks ago, I had my girlfriend Felicia and her two kiddos over for a BBQ. Of course, it was a good time — hamburgers/hot dogs, s’mores, sparklers and more! Anywho, Destiny (Felicia’s daughter) brought a few of her library books in and I was tickled silly to see one of them by Shel…
Project Egg Retrieval — Update
All is well. I seem to be doing fine on the birth control, no reactions so far. I’ll weigh myself on Friday to see if I’ve gained weight — I think that’s one of my biggest concerns. LOL. I had my baseline ultrasound done on Friday morning. Of course, the tech wasn’t able to disclose…
One Month ’til Vegas, Baby!!
Let the countdown begin…. one month until Kristine and I will take our birthday trip to Vegas. Woo-hoo!!! May 14th through the 17th. I can’t believe that I’m turning 36, but atleast I’ll be ushering this 36th year in Vegas style. LOL. Good times, here we come. keep living and laughing, friends.
Project Egg Retrieval — Day 1
I’m looking at today as the very first day of our IVF journey — since today I officially started the birth control. It’s a low dose, but will allow for control over my menstrual cycle and the timing of my stimulation cycle for the target date of May 25th (or thereabouts). I’ve taken birth control only one other…
Believe to Conceive – Egg Retrieval Scheduled
Earlier this week I scheduled our “target” date for the first of possibly two egg retrievals with Dr. Silber. After paying the deposit, I can say that this part of our journey is official. I want you to try to understand and experience as much of this with me as possible, so below are the dates…
Believe to Conceive
On Monday we had our consult with the infertility doctor, Dr. Sherman Silber (http://www.infertile.com/closlook/biograph.htm). I was a bit anxious due to all of the unknowns of this journey and having to wait over a month before we had our official appointment. We arrived early and waited patiently for our name to be called. As we…
Quidnunc and Poppysmic
I have always enjoyed learning new words — including those you would most likely never use in your day to day vocabulary, but enchant you for just a brief moment. At times, I’ve even received daily e-mails with words and their meanings. It was always a fun read, and my sister has even challenged herself to…
Circle of Friends
I moved to St. Louis in December of 2007 for a job and to be closer to my fiance (now hubby). I must admit that I was excited to be moving to a larger city and away from Springfield, MO. I was excited about all of the opportunities St. Louis would present. However, it’s been…
