In 2009, after I had been dealt quite the blow with my premature ovarian failure diagnosis, Larry and I were left with lots of questions and few answers. We were in luck (as lucky as you can be with infertility) when I found out about the RESOLVE New England Annual Fertility … Read More »
Judah’s Birth Story: Afterbirth
It only took me ten months to finally tell Judah's birth story; parts one, two, three and four - the whole shebang - are finally written down and saved. But there is just a little bit more to his birth story, other odds and ends. Like the fact that when Judah was born, Larry … Read More »
Judah’s Birth Story, Part 4

What IF: Three Years Later
This was me three years ago: I's funny to go back and watch this video, to think about all the things that are different in my life now. The fact that we own a home instead of living in student housing where this was filmed. The three pairs of glasses I've gone through … Read More »
Catching Up After a Chaotic Week
Oh, hai there. Um... bit of a crazy week. I'm all like "write for The Infertility Voice!" and then just kind of peaced out. I had no idea just how chaotic this week was going to become. I posted my call for contributors just hours before the Boston Marathon bombings and it's … Read More »
Birds of a Feather
Saints alive: I'm nesting. At first, it was little things. Picking up Larry's socks from the floor. Making sure the kitchen sink was empty. Then it turned into and a complete reorganization of our kitchen and repainting our dining room and DIY updating the lighting … Read More »
