So today I hit 14 weeks and also went to see my OB for the first time in a few years (met with her PA last time). I love my doctor because she’s got a no nonsense attitude that works well for me. She laughed when I told her “I did what you told me to do… Read More 14 Weeks – “Surreal”

Now that I’m at 10 weeks, apparently this tiny person is the size of a lego minifigure, or at least, that’s what my app says.   Big Doctor’s appointment today. I got there SUPER early, not only because I am nervous about getting places late, but also because I assumed I’d have lots of paperwork… Read More 10 Weeks – Lego Minifig

8 week scan today showed quite a difference from the 6 week blob. All measurements were good and I’ll be headed to see my regular OB soon. Here’s the photo of what I can only describe as the Tiniest Turtle.  (Upgraded from Parasite)

Today was my big scan – so far it would appear I’m six weeks along. I’ve spent the past two weeks thinking about what it would be like if just *poof* it was all over and it would be time to try again. When Dr Scotchie came in to the room today, she said “wow,… Read More “That’s weird.”

There’s this movie that is SO ridiculous and I just love it – it’s called I Spy and has Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy in it. I think it’s a remake of an old Bill Cosby TV show from the 1970’s, but the one I know is the more recent one. Anyway, there’s a point… Read More Rising and Rising

So the nurse called back and said that everything looked good and that my levels were at 128.7, which was “really good!” I found that encouraging but had no idea what it meant. I go back Wednesday morning to make sure the HCG levels are rising and then there will be a scan or ultrasound… Read More The Call Back

When I first worked in Internal Audit, we would do Risk Assessments and one of the first things you would ask about a process is WCGW – What Could Go Wrong? I’m 34 years old. I’ve got a lot of friends that have been through the excitement and then the sudden heart break of a… Read More WCGW

Let me be honest, over the past few days I’ve been taking pregnancy tests with questionable results. The thing about announcing a pregnancy is that 1,000 things could go wrong and it can all go sideways in an instant – especially in the first few months – which is why most people wait to bring… Read More And the Survey Says

8:45 am Sunday August 7th I’ll be headed to have the IUI procedure done. After some general confusion on my part tonight, I called in my favors with my friend at the office and finally got in touch with the right people. Then she got in touch with everyone else. Then everyone all got organized… Read More Time to Make the Donuts
