“Infertility” — An Ugly Word I Was Hoping to Avoid Hearing

10.10.2012

Last week I went back to the doctor to get the results of the testing I had done the week before. I wasn’t surprised by the news because I had a feeling something wasn’t quite right, but I wasn’t thrilled by it either. If you’re aware of our pregnancy history, you will know the struggles [...]

Nothing Will Make You Feel Older Than Your Ovaries Giving Up

02.10.2012

Okay, well I may be a bit dramatic right now, the truth is I won’t know what’s going on until tomorrow, at least…. but you can tell what I am under a wee bit of stress here. I have been trying to make baby #4 for 8 months now and have been using the same [...]

There Is No Worse Feeling Than When Your Child Is Sick

I have been having quite the difficult past two weeks here at home, which is a big reason for the lack of new posts. Just when I found the perfect balance for getting everything done, of course life has to swing another way and keep me on my toes. It’s been a few weeks of [...]

25.11.2011

Oh man has this been a week… First I guess if you noticed I have stopped posting daily. I was participating in the BlogHer NaBloPoMo and was doing pretty good making sure I posted something every day – even on the weekends.

Tell Me I’m Not The Only One With Days Like This

05.11.2011

There has got to be someone else with the luck like mine. Honestly. I am near convinced I have the worst ‘luck’ or just doing way too much to focus and always end up doing something silly. Yesterday my hand met with the opening door. My hand then got jammed between the door and the [...]

When The Day Has Promise But Then Not So Much

17.10.2011

Monday’s kind of have a bad reputation. The day where the fun and routine-lenient days of the weekend are over and we’re back to the grind of work, taking care of the children alone and the grind of all that. Monday’s don’t usually bother me since I love my work and we don’t have school [...]

No Avoiding What’s Staring Me Right In The Face

30.06.2011

This has been a very eye opening week where I think I have finally accepted what I have known for some time. For me to make a change that might not be easy there needs to be something huge that ‘hits me in the face’ so that it will be worse for me if i [...]

My Uterus Hates Me & Thanks Me At The Same Time

22.06.2011

Almost 2 and a half years ago – just 6 weeks after my third child was born – my husband and I decided that we would use an IUD for birth control. Yes, we had three kids but we were still young and didn’t feel comfortable with any of the permanent birth control options yet. [...]
