Open your mouth and say “Ah-cupunture.”
A bit sluggish this morning... had a very cathartic conversation with Larry last night about how generally awful I feel on a daily basis. And not just emotionally awful- I'm able to pick myself up 99% of the time- I mean physically worn out. I have virtually zero stamina or … Read More »
It’s time for professional help.
And I'm not afraid to admit it.I have a call in to a fertility counselor my doc recommended whom he knows personally. Dr. G has been great about my care thus far, so I trust his recommendations. I did therapy in college, so I'm well aware of its benefits and I'm way beyond any … Read More »
Results are in.
Our Dr called us from his home yesterday. Everything has come in as normal. Low end of normal (21 million), but normal enough. Motility was a bit low, but isn't a big deal if/when we go IVF since a lab will inject sperm directly into the egg. Our dr's only concern is that … Read More »

A(nother) Sad Realization
I live at the college campus where I work. My commute consists of exiting my building, walking through the Arts building, and then entering the building where I work. This morning, as I have for the last couple of weeks, I've waded through a herd of 7-10 year old summer music … Read More »
Whirlwind week.
July 4th weekend was fantastic. Had friends from out of town at our place this weekend, with their adorable 10 month old in tow. Babies are exhausting! And cute, and fun, and wonderful. I particularly enjoyed seeing Larry with the baby- he's going to be a great dad someday.Blood … Read More »
