For the record, the surgery went very well. The folks at Hopkins took great care of us and my uterus was indeed in need of some housecleaning. We’ll have a post-op appointment in a little over a week, and then we’ll get pathology results that will enlighten us about what everything means. However, since they did … Continue reading »
Today’s the Day!
The surgery is diagnostic. Laparoscopy. We’re trying to find a reason for my infertility and make sure that there aren’t any issues that would affect my health. As this date approached, I have asked myself if I was undergoing an extreme measure for the sake of fertility. Talking to the doctor yesterday, I was reminded that there … Continue reading »
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before
I’m still not pregnant. I have refained from writing about this for several reasons, but I find it to be the most therapuedic outlet. Putting tangible words to my feelings feels so good, and I don’t fully understand why. However, one of the reasons I hate talking about it is that people insinuate that this … Continue reading »
Prospero Ano y Felicidad
Some thoughts on New Years Day. 1. I don’t get all hyped about New Years Resolutions, but I have one for this year. I’d like to get back to making my own bread. I started way back here and actually stuck with it for quite some time, but life got busy and one purchased loaf … Continue reading »

We would begin with caroling through my neighborhood, and end with watching The Nativity Story at Pamela’s…with lots of our friends, and our many small children. I’m so … Continue reading »

Merry Christmas Charlie Brown!
*We’re now on day 3 of the December Blog challenge. Obviously I’ve already blown it, but I’m going to participate anyways. Last week I was feeling like Charlie Brown. We’ve made an effort this Christmas to simplify the holiday and spend it together, enjoying what we have and not concentrating so much on what we’d … Continue reading »
Husband Open Letter #2
I mean seriously. There are weekdays where this blog is the most contact we have. I really go into husband withdrawls after a weekend of having you nonstop. What’s crazy is that when I have you all weekend, there are all kinds of things that I forget to tell you. But now that you’re not … Continue reading »
A Serious Question
Last night, we had a conversation about adoption. Stu and I are thinking a lot about it lately. While Blake was brushing his teeth, Stu said, “Blake, I’m so proud that you’re mine.” To which Blake responded, “I’m so proud you’re my daddy! And I’m so proud you’re my mommy!” It was a regular love-fest. … Continue reading »
