Keeping my cool

I won't lie, friends. Today was one of those days during which I carefully remind myself that the work day ends at 630.

Got a call from our doctor letting me know that to move forward with our insurance, we are required to do a hormone check on day 3 of my next cycle and Porch will need to do another semen analysis. Never mind that we're doing a frozen embryo transfer. This is a stupid requirement and it ends up costing everyone money. I'm going to submit his results from our first IVF round and I'll just have to wait for another mf cycle. I thought we had our poop in a group and could move forward just a little sooner but yet again, I am being reminded that good things take time and hot DAMN do we make good kids. I will try to be patient.

This of course does not account for my required hysteroscopy that's scheduled for tomorrow morning. Dr found what could be scar tissue on my uterus. Taking a closer look tomorrow to determine if it's scar tissue or if it was just lining from my cycle. Let's go ahead and hope for the lining situation as scar tissue would require surgery.

Send us some good thoughts, we definitely need them.

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?

Baptizing Le Nugget

There they are... got my first big hit of hormonal pregnancy tears this morning as I thought about baptizing our daughter & where we'd like to baptize her.  It just kind of hit me all at once with more clarity than I could have ever expected. Let me back up a hot second; we attended a Lutheran Easter service this Sunday while visiting family and I was so totally turned off by this pastor's sermon and approach that it made me really reflect on what my beliefs are and when I feel most connected to a sense of faith.  Porch and I spoke in great detail about our hopes for our daughter and none of them included the messages being delivered at that Easter service -- the implicit messages, obviously.  There's not a terrible amount of difference between the Lutheran service and the Catholic service, but there was just a vibe that turned us both off. As I drove to work this morning, it came over me as I was thinking about where we could baptize our daughter.  We don't ...

It doesn't matter how slow you go...

I saw this online the other day and at first, thought how appropriate it is for what Porch & I have been attempting lately (lots of running) but after some deeper thought and revisiting, I've come to think of this as being more fitting for our story on the road to making a tiny human. I think it's appropriate, meaningful, and inspirational all at once.  A great reminder that no matter how slow we move, how many baby steps (no pun intended) we take, as long as we keep moving forward, it's better than giving up in frustration.  I once had a colleague tell me that it was only important that we "keep moving forward, no matter what."  That mantra has stuck with me for years and I've come to apply it personally and professionally.  It's okay that this is taking time.  It's our story and it will never be the same as anyone else's story. Likewise, I am not a runner.  I honestly don't even know why I started running, but damn it.  It feels so ...
