1. Day off work. Let me rephrase that: DAY OFF WORK!!! Since I’ve only worked a total of one day this week, I’m not entirely sure where the soul-flood of relief is based, but I’m just really glad to not be at work today.
2. I still love my gallon jug that once held apple juice [...]
1. It’s getting easier to eat healthily because anything with oil in it? Blech. So, small blessing, but I suppose it’s a good thing that I’m not craving, say, potato chips or french fries. (blech)
2. The doctor yesterday was very kind, very capable. Again, I feel as if I have been exceedingly blessed by finding [...]
1. Remember me mentioning how nice the doctors seem to be here in NYC? Well, last night, at around 6pm, my brand new endocrinologist – the guy I only met a couple of days ago – called up to see how the CVS went, and to make sure I hadn’t had any problems. ”I was [...]
1. I don’t have pink-eye. Had a couple of hours yesterday morning when I thought I might, since I work with nasty little kids & when I woke up my eye was irritated & red. But it’s gone now, so I’m thinking “pinkeye free”. Whew.
2. Velveteen. Specifically, my brown velveteen shirt. Soft! Warm! Lovely comforting [...]
1. Only one more day before our LOTR-thon! For the non-geek set, this means the Boy & I & a couple of dear fellow geeks are going to sit down in front of the tv with rabbit stew, bread, mushrooms, & other good hobbity things to eat, and watch all three Lord Of the Rings [...]
1. It was nice being at the Realm of Pain for less than a full day. Also, my April schedule is much improved, though since I suspect the Assistant Manager will be promoted away from the branch this month, I also suspect my new, groovy, Sane Branch schedule is worth much less than the paper [...]
1. I got a refund check from the lab that’s been screwing up my insurance for the last 8 months. Now, granted, I feel like they owe me this money for the grief they’ve caused me, but I don’t think I actually overpaid them, since I haven’t actually sent them any money since this whole [...]
1. According to my ticker, I have fewer than 200 days left to go – 199, to be exact (which of course, it likely won’t be.) Big milestone, if completely arbitrary!
2. Tomorrow was my due date for the pregnancy I really thought would work out. Not particularly grateful that my brain refuses to let me [...]
1. I love getting to skip to a new month when yesterday was only the 28th. Juvenile, I know. I prefer to think of myself as “young at heart, if not young in the ovaries…”
2. I spent much of yesterday in the company of two of the dearest women I’ve ever known. One of whom [...]
1. I love the little green market right around the corner. Rather nifty that when I neglect to brush off the 2 feet of drifted snow from my patio plants until 6:25 to discover that my thyme and rosemary died this winter (and are therefore unable to provide me with fresh herbs for the marinade [...]

It's been a long road and we're nowhere near home yet. My husband and I started trying to conceive in October of 2007. We figured it'd be easy since he already has three daughters who were conceived within a month of trying.
Hah.
Three IVFs: (1 missed miscarriage at 8 weeks, 1 ectopic pregnancy miscarried at 5 weeks, 1 spontaneous pregnancy that ended in a missed miscarriage at 5 weeks); and 1 FET (a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks.)
Which equals: lots of drugs injected, lots of money spent, lots of weight gained. But no live babies. Infertility sucks. RPL sucks ass.
I'm pregnant, again, though, thanks to the medical miracle of donor eggs. And hoping for the best. Hoping for a baby, a family. I'll let you know how that goes.
