Sometimes, it takes more than one chef to make a delicious meal, and today it seemed to take more than one blogger to write a blog post!

Being the loving [...]

I didn’t need a test to tell me this.

I’ve been battling my usual reproductive health problems recently, and without going into the gory details, I’ll just say that I’ve been monitoring a couple of different conditions with the Marvelous Dr H for several months now, waiting to find out how this will all play out.
To say I’m on edge about it would be [...]
I love mothers
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged friends, infertility, mothers on December 7, 2007 | 3 Comments »
I really do! Yes, there was a time during my worst days of depression when I looked at mothers bitterly, as a “they”, and was sure that they looked at me with disdain, or overlooked me completely. But there’s no getting around it, I’m surrounded by mothers, and I’m thankful for each of [...]
Here’s something new…

Okay, I’m strange, and maybe a bit conflicted. I admit it.
If you’ve been reading my blog at all, you realize that sometimes, I talk about gardening. Sometimes, I talk about the rest of my life. And sometimes, I talk about infertility. This is kind of a problem for me, because [...]

I saw where you visited my blog today.

To begin, I need to thank my friend, Emilie, for pointing out to me that this was National Infertility Awareness Week. Her reminder is not only an indication of what a kind and sensitive friend she is, but also remarkable in that she gave birth to her second child just ten days ago! I’m so [...]

Things left undone

When your grandfather is 85 and in failing health, you hurry to ask him every little question you might have, no matter how seemingly unimportant. It’s another ugly manifestation of the dreaded biological clock. You just have a desperate desire to know everything about him, all his thoughts and ideas and his collected [...]
Emilie, don’t read this.

The difficult thing about keeping a personal blog, is that sometimes you want to blog about the deepest, most personal things, but you don’t want certain people to read it. This is that kind of post. All it can possibly do is mar my best friend’s perfect happiness, and I don’t want to [...]
