Houston, We Have a 3rd Beta and an Ultrasound Date!

Daddy's Little MVP

Just a very quicky post to update the beta trajectory. Had my third beta yesterday morning. Funny story: I got up super early, as the lab at my clinic is only open 6:30-8:15am every morning. I get there and it was literally standing room only. I've never seen so many people in … Read More »

The Goop. Oh My G-d: the GOOP.

Oct. 18, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

I’m All Shook Up

Oct. 17, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Never Forget

There was a 4.0 earthquake in southern Maine last night and I felt it in my house. It was kind of hard to miss, because my entire house was shaking. At first, I thought it was a truck coming down our very narrow, one-way street. Sometimes, when something as small as a UPS … Read More »

Finally BFP

This is a photo that's been a long time coming. For those of you analyzing for line darkness, that's a 12dp3dt or 15dpo line you're looking at :) I took it the afternoon after we got our beta results back from the clinic. I figured I had finally earned my right to pee all over a … Read More »

An announcement, a proposal, a prayer and a promise.

Oct. 15, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

I have been writing this post, over and over and over, trying best to figure out just how I was going to phrase my words to you today. There's so much I want to say, so I imagine this will be a wordy post. I figured the best way to get through it all was to break it down into … Read More »
