Feeling some feelings.

I’ve never been the kind of person that was super into feelings. I pretty much wrote them off as a sign of weakness. No reason to ever let your guard down. No reason to show anyone that you are anything less than a strong and productive person. Then all of this IF stuff happened.  For […]

Anxious.

I have been feeling really anxious the last few days – not sleeping well, feeling distracted, etc. I’m not sure why exactly. I think it has something to do with my sister-in-law’s due date being tomorrow. When we first found out that she was pregnant, I took the news really hard. Like, laying on the […]

Time to Regroup.

IUI – The Follistim Chronicles

There remains an ongoing discussion in my house about who we should share this journey with. Will people ask too many questions? Will they give unsolicited advice?
