Update
I went back to work today. It was hard. I hate doctors. We still know nothing about what’s wrong with me. I think I’ll just go to bed and read myself to sleep.
Summary of the day in which I really go crazy and my husband tells me that there’s a ghost in the bathroom. Just hours before dark.
So apparently this is what my life will be forevermore. Destined to roam the halls (uh, hall…) of my basement apartment eating teeny weeny amounts of food and trying to nourish self and unborn. I read an old post of mine earlier today, one in which I came home from a full day’s work, took [...]
Trying to be Hopeful
So…yesterday did not go as planned. I got a call asking me about my prep for the procedure and letting me know that the nurse wanted to talk to the doctor- because the drugs used to take care of pain during the procedure do cross the placenta barrier.

So yes- long story short…had to take some unpleasant tests yesterday and today which required me to stop taking medications controlling my stomach problems. As a [...]

Then, a matching swing! (Check it out, it has OWLS!!!!)
And finally- the play yard!
While we in MA we had a bit of a baby shower- some friends and family gave us [...]
When Our Cause, It Is Just
Happy Fourth of July! I was just reading the Star Spangled Banner (yes…reading, not singing) and came across the line from whence I drew the title of this blog. There are no better words to hint at the kind of feelings I’m having this year- very deep. But I’ll leave them to stand on their [...]
