I call it the "Tofu Baby Revelation." As you may remember, I had a really bizarre dream last week about my sweet dream baby turning into a block of burning tofu on the stove. Freud, eat your heart out. While it's not exactly Moses and the burning bush, after a few days of stewing … Read More »
Full disclosure to my readers.
I am simply buzzing with things to write about lately: big things are happening for Larry and I and here at this blog. We've made some concrete decisions about family planning, and I've been doing lots of rearranging and coding and redecorating around the old blog. I'll save the … Read More »
Baubo, The Belly Laugh, and Spring Awakenings
It's been officially spring for a couple of weeks and I've been loving this warm weather across much of MA this week. It's been nearly three years since Larry and I moved to Boston, and these New England winters have made me appreciate the first signs of spring that much more so. … Read More »
One year ago today…
...everything as I imagined it, changed. The way I thought my life would go, that traditional path- these no longer became realistic options. One year ago today, I read, dumbstruck, this email from my doctor: [The results], if they are to be believed, indicate that premature … Read More »

Second verse, same as the first.
Got a second opinion re: thyroid and ovarian function yesterday. This doc basically confirmed everything, and actually told me I was right to trust my instincts about not taking the new 137mcg dose of Synthroid back in December. My sticking to the 125 mcg Levoxyl has paid off, as … Read More »
IT’S NOT ENDO!
My doc assures me... it's not endo. It's a "transient active cystic structure." My follie threw my whole reproductive system for a surprise, probably created a fluid or blood filled cyst, and then went away, thus explaining all of my symptoms. As my doc put it, it would be near … Read More »
No answers just yet.
I managed to fail a breast exam today. My doctor's words, not mine. He says I can't be pregnant b/c I "failed my breast exam." I assume that since I had a mildly bemused "that tickles" expression on my face as opposed to clawing at his face while he did my breast exam means I … Read More »
Two years and still head over heels
Yesterday Larry and I celebrated two years together. It's kind of nuts, what we've been through in the first two years of marriage already, but we've come out stronger and closer. I'm still just as in love with him as the day I walked down the aisle. We went to a lovely French … Read More »
