I know that I have no right to complain. I knew I would be sick when I chose to get pregnant, but really… I’m about done with this silliness.
I’m actually hoping that what everyone says about each pregnancy being different is right. With both boys I was sick until about 16 weeks. [...]

It’s always a little surprising to me that no one has really talked about what I’ve been through to have this baby.  When I was doing my research, I could find almost no information online about anyone’s experience with IVF with PGD. 
I wonder whether it’s the superstition about talking about the baby before the first [...]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  Patience is not really one of my easiest to come by virtues…
I refuse to buy anything for the baby before I’m out of my first trimester.  Good idea, right?
But I want to. 
I keep seeing cute stuff and wanting to buy it for the baby. 
No. 
Can’t do it. 
But [...]

I know that this is probably hard to believe, but even though I’m 8 weeks pregnant as of yesterday, I was still on was still on medications from the fertility doctor.
When you actually become pregnant, you spend nearly 6 weeks on progesterone to make sure that you’ve created a healthy environment for the baby.  You [...]

I’m having a bit of a tough day. 
My Peanut and I are going to the ENT today to find out if part of his speech problem is his attached frenulum linguae.  He’s had it since birth, but the pediatrician said that as long as he could nurse, she didn’t recommend cutting it. 
Fan-freaking-tastic. 
Except that doing this [...]

Every pregnancy is different.  At least that’s what we’re told. 
This is my third pregnancy and I’ll tell you that, for at least the beginning part, they’re all about the same.  The nausea, the exhaustion, the headaches…
 What change is me. 
During my first pregnancy five years ago, I was well… 5 years younger.  And I didn’t have [...]

As I mentioned in an earlier post, we’ve had a bit of a time coming up with a name that my husband and I both like. 
I’m not exaggerating, I gave him a list of almost 50 names including ones that he had mentioned and he narrowed it to about 5 (three of which were absolutely non-starters).   He [...]

I’m always a little shocked when I see those programs on television where women don’t know that they’re pregnant.  I can’t understand it.  I understand it a little better when it’s a first child, but when the woman has been pregnant before, I’m not sure how they can miss the signs.
Really.
I know I’m pregnant from [...]

Ok, I’m sorry.  I’m sorry.   I meant to post this earlier, but the day has gotten away from me….
I went to my last appointment at the fertility clinic today for my sonogram to see how many little baby girls I’m having.
And…
Drumroll please…..
We’re having just one baby.  And here’s a picture:

For those of you who’ve never [...]

I’m not exactly sure when to tell the tykes that I’m pregnant. 
I feel badly not telling them.  Particularly Punkin, who has been asking for a little sister for over a year.  I have a feeling that he knows already, but it hasn’t been confirmed one way or the other for him.
Peanut won’t understand, so I guess [...]
