I am one in four. These words will never change and the truth in this statement will never change. Today, on October 15th, know that there are millions of women all feeling this truth inside of their hearts. Some hold that truth close to their hearts, others like me shout it from the rooftops. In 2012 when we experienced our...
Week 16 arrived out of nowhere. As I drove to my appointment yesterday, I had a lot of time to ponder life and all that it holds for us right now. Usually Thomn and I are chatting in the car, but he wasn’t able to go yesterday, and more often than not, I am answering an onslaught of three-year-old questions. ...
Out in the fertility world and especially rampant in the cyber communities is a phrase the Two Week Wait, or more affectionately abbreviated 2WW. It is the topic of multiple pregnancy/infertility/trying to conceive discussion boards because the two week wait can be brutal. It is those two weeks in between ovulation and, fingers crossed, a positive pregnancy test. Those two...
Five years ago, Thomn and I were finalizing plans to go to Palm Springs for the weekend with a drive to Vegas for the week following our trip to California. While we were there in Palm Springs we sealed our fate for the foreseeable future and paid the tuition bill for Thomn to begin his PhD program at Colorado State...
Today was not our typical kind of Sunday as we spent the better part of the afternoon and early evening in the Emergency Room with T4. We had had a great morning, the kids made pancakes with Thomn while I tried to catch some extra sleep before the craziness of the week starts again. T4 had a wonderful morning nap...

Two months that have been filled with warm summer days, cool fall nights, love, laughter, teething, and the question why (isn’t that every 2 year old’s favorite question). In all transparency, I have been so tired these last few months that it has been easier...
It’s been a year since I took that wild plunge and decided to share my feelings on life, love, and lost with all of you, and I have loved every minute of it. To say that it was a terrifying start would be an understatement. In the beginning, even writing the words was hard, but rereading my entry to Thomn...
There is something so perfect and addictive about baby clothes. They capture me in such a way and pull my heartstrings in every direction. T4 is growing at a rate that I didn’t expect. Every week, I have been putting more and more articles of clothing into a pile of outfits that no longer fit him. Here we are, just...
Today, Thomn and I celebrate 12 years of wedded bliss. So here are 12 facts, fun or not, about us. 1. We got married in a museum, celebrated underneath a giant whale skeleton, and ate pie while we walked back to our hotel when our horse and carriage unexpectedly no showed due to a thunderstorm. 2. The first house we...
I’ve posted a lot of pictures of my newly growing family on social media lately, but I want you to know that I still see you. I see the frustration and anger that flows through your fingers as you scroll through looking at pictures and updates from friends, family…and maybe even acquaintances. I see the sadness in the depths of...
