The Gift I Can’t Get My Husband… Yet.

Jun. 13, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Honor the Someday Dads

I love giving gifts, to the point where I start to think very obsessively about not only the gift itself, but the gift recipient. I start thinking about all the little things I know about that person and how to make that gift the most relevant, awesome thing in their life right … Read More »

Doubting Betty Draper

Jun. 4, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Mad Men Season Five Sally and Betty Draper

I just watched Sunday's episode of Mad Men. Strangely, with all of its very intense themes and shocking character revelations, something about it struck me so viscerally. The episode hit me right in the gut. And interestingly enough, it had me questioning some things about … Read More »

Our Cycle is Needling Away at Me

IVF Nightmares

I realize I kind of fell off the radar this week. It's been a weird week, for a variety of reasons. It's been ungodly hot and we only just put in the AC two nights ago. I've been battling migraines. And I've been coming to the realization that perhaps it's time to rethink this … Read More »

Keiko's 30th Birthday Wish

I'm not normally one to get all excited for my birthday, but when it comes to milestone years, I get as giddy as a school girl. The Facebook and Twitter messages today have been overwhelmingly awesome. The flowers my parents sent me? A lovely surprise at my door this … Read More »

The Last Night of My Twenties: Musings on the Precipice of Youth

May. 24, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Keiko at 20

In just a few hours, I turn 30. I will spend this evening most likely doing a load of laundry, cleaning the kitchen, and changing the cats' litter. We're having leftovers for dinner. I might even have a beer. I know, I know - livin' the wild life over here. . . … Read More »

Buy Buy Baby

May. 22, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Buy Buy Baby

  When I made my "What IF" video two years ago, I included this question: What if I can't counter the thought I had to "buy" a baby? To this day, that question still eats at me. I'm not sure what bothers me more: how much we'll have to pay all told, or the fact that I … Read More »

On the Path to Mother’s Day: Messages of Hope from Across the Bridge

May. 12, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Small bridge in the forest

Deep breaths. Tomorrow is Mother's Day, one of the many holiday landmines scattered across our calendars, as we gingerly step between days and weeks hoping to avoid an emotional explosion. I've had many different reflections of Mother's Day over the years. In 2009, right after … Read More »

Super Quick Post-Op Update

Hysteroscopic Gangsta

My hysteroscopy went well yesterday. Dr. Warmenfriendly did a fantastic job and the nursing staff at the facility were just incredible. I've never met such genuinely kind and attentive medical personel in my life. He went in to check on that fibroid, turns out I had a uterine … Read More »

I Am Whole, I Am Perfect, I Am Strong

May. 10, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

  Headed to the hospital in a little over an hour and a half. Had a very restless sleep last night, from the sound of the rain on the roof to fitful, strange dreams. I went to sleep listening to a beautiful, empowering belly and womb chant sent to me by my friend Natalie … Read More »
