on’t you hate it when you begin to lose your damn mind? When you start believing something that clearly makes absolutely no sense, but your mind for some reason starts to accept it? I’m in one of those states today.

I was doing pretty well with my denial approach to this current 2 week wait until [...]
42
ell I can run from it no longer. Today I turned 42. Ugh, that sounds so damn old.
I spent the morning running to Cooper for more stupid blood tests and another ultrasound. They just want to make sure that you don’t need any estrogen or progesterone support during this two week wait. Unfortunately I had [...]
Rainbows, Milagro, and Merck, Oh My!
Rainbows
Tonight as I was driving home from work, late of course, I got to witness something that always fills me with such awe and wonder: a full rainbow. It was such a welcome sight on a mostly gloomy day. Initially I was sad because I didn’t have my camera with me, then I remembered…I’ve got [...]

More Cooper Center Insanity
just got back from having my nails done. After the latest Cooper insanity, I had a 30 minute crying jag. Mason suggested that I go do something to take care of myself.
Today I had my ultrasound. The lead follicle is at 18 and there is one other at 12 on the right and one [...]
