CD4: A slice of random.

Aug. 29, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

I made my first quiche last night: Martha Stewart's very easy broccoli and cheddar quiche. Not too shabby. Aunt Flo is slowly making her exit, but she's taking her sweet ass time about it. It's like she's got to go through every room of our house, double-checking … Read More »

CD3: Choose wisely, grasshopper.

Aug. 28, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Last night, after a crazy busy day, Larry and I needed Chinese. We needed it hard. As much as I love Beverly Jade, I have to remember: I do not like their crab rangoon. And yet, like the macaroni and cheese at Boston Market, the mashed potato bowls from Wawa or the three … Read More »

CD2: Pillpoppa

Aug. 27, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Last blog post of the day, I swear. In an effort to fully document this madness that is our first donor egg IVF cycle, I will be posting daily* with my CD numbers and various and sundry commentary as we get closer to retrieval and transfer, scheduled for mid-September. As in, … Read More »

In sanguine, veritas.

Aug. 27, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

When I was ten years old, just four days before my eleventh birthday, I awoke from my nap and headed to the bathroom, the urge to pee having woken me up. It was the first time I would see the smudge: the bright red spots stark against the white cotton lining of my panties. In … Read More »

CD 1: Where’s the baby?

Aug. 27, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Mission TZ3

Wrote this post in the car yesterday on the way home from a weekend of travel. Larry's great uncle turned 83 this year. He had read somewhere that the Biblical lifespan was 70 years, he decided to re-bar mitzvah at 83, since he figured it was like starting all over again. … Read More »

Do. Breathe. Believe. Laugh. Take it all in. Let it all out. Become. Ignite the fire burning in your belly. Weep from the depths of your soul. Inhale your intuition. Exhale. And breathe in again. Close your eyes and open your … Read More »

Unboxing My Fertility Meds

Aug. 22, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

So, both my donor and I received our meds in the mail yesterday. Inspired by the unboxing video meme, I wanted to create a little unboxing slideshow of my own. I won't lie - I felt a bit like a kid on Hanukkah opening up this box last night. Am I a bit too gleeful? Perhaps. … Read More »

Cradled

Aug. 17, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Heart in Hands

It's 2:34am. The cats sleep, tucked away in their hidden night places. My husband lightly snores upstairs, the window air conditioner hums its coolish tune as the condenser kicks over. It is quiet downstairs: no cicadas whining or cars rushing by - just stillness and the soft … Read More »

I’ve Become Keiko Ka-boom.

Aug. 16, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Keiko Kaboom

I grew up watching The Animaniacs as a kid; Yakko, Wakko and Dot were staples of my childhood. After this week, I've been having all sorts of flashbacks to one of my favorite segments on The Animaniacs, Katie Ka-boom: There's a good reason for that. Ladies, I've been on … Read More »

Yes, I’m Alive

Aug. 9, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Zut alors!

Super duper quick post to say that yes, I am alive. Got back from Montreal this week and have been rocking some kind of food poisoning or stomach bug since I got home. Awesome. I'll have a detailed Montreal recap picture post hopefully up tomorrow (Friday). Things are … Read More »
