It’s been one a heck of a month. The Cookie Monsters are here, and they are beautiful. 😄 They are a week old today. It’s been a stressful, worrisome, & joyful rollercoaster experience for sure, and I am going to work hard to update you guys with the story as soon as possible.
The In-Between Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day while pregnant is an odd place to be, especially when you’ve been through infertility. For the past 4 years, this day is one that has brought nothing but pain and resentment. I have gone out of my way to pretend that it didn’t exist, though always failing miserably. Mother’s Days of recent years … Continue reading »
3rd Trimester, the Plague, and Appointment Updates
I’ve been too tired to function lately (a big change, I know). However, I’ve had quite a bit going on over the past 2 weeks, so get ready to get hit with some bullet points! (Note: That in NO way means it will be concise. You know me! ) I passed my glucose test last … Continue reading »
Edward Pregnant Hands
I haven’t done nearly as much “This Week’s Symptoms” posting as I thought I would. The main reason has been that my symptoms don’t seem to change much. Once I get one, it sticks around. At 27 Weeks with twins, I am still experiencing: nausea vomiting at some point each week, usually 2-3 times, even … Continue reading »
NIAW
This week is National Infertility Awareness Week. I hope my Facebook friends are ready because I’m about to put in some serious education effort! I changed my cover and profile photos to reflect this and posted this years NIAW picture: I plan to post at least 1 or 2 things each day, but I’m going … Continue reading »
Apparently, Whining Helps
So, apparently my vent-fest worked yesterday. The wedding was awesome, and even though my back was in major pain once we got in the car, I was able to make it through without feeling too miserable, and we had a really good time. It was pretty cold during the service and the “party,” which was … Continue reading »
I’m a Whiny, Uncomfortable Blimp
Tonight, we have to go to a very good friend’s wedding. This is the only day in April that it hasn’t been lovely and warm outside. It’s rainy/cloudy and the high is only 63, meaning by evening we’ll be in the 50′s. It’s an outdoor wedding. I am simultaneously really excited about this and dreading … Continue reading »
“Survivor’s” Guilt
I have been struggling a little bit lately with writing. Every time I think I’m going to blog, I just end up…not. I’ve been trying to pinpoint for a few days now what the cause is. Mostly, I’ve chalked it up to the extreme EXHAUSTION that has hit since I reached 22-23 weeks and the … Continue reading »
VIABILITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today, we are 24 weeks pregnant. We. have. reached. VIABILITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know there is quite a ways to go still, and I suddenly feel a different kind of concern. It’s not really the same level of concern of losing them, but of keeping them in there until they are healthy and ready enough to be … Continue reading »
Where in the World is Not-So-Fertile Girl San Diego?
Did anyone just put the title of this post into the Carmen San Diego theme song? I hope so. Please ignore that the syllables don’t work out. So, the answer is, “I’m here. Alive. Still Pregnant. And too exhausted to blog.” To say that I’ve been a terrible blogger over the past month (and a … Continue reading »
