Today is grocery day and we bought cherries.  I don’t even like eating them in their raw form, but they’re just too gorgeous and summer-y to pass up.  After a week of depression/entitlement eating consisting of mostly fast food and carry-out we are determined to get back on track and eat real food at home [...]

I was emptying out my pockets today before doing laundry and found this fortune in my jeans.  I got it at lunch on Tuesday about two hours before I received the call informing me of my impending miscarriage.  One of my pet peeves is when fortune cookie fortunes aren’t really fortunes  – just advice or [...]

Today is a little better than yesterday but still rough.  Things seem very gray.  I was able to work from home today and Randy drove in to work so that he could come back and bring me lunch and check on me.  I am well taken care of.

Roses my mom brought me today:

This is so much harder than I had anticipated.  I can’t even fathom what it must be like further along in a pregnancy.  I don’t want to find out, but I fear I will before this journey ends.  I’m told that things will go back to normal and I will [...]

My first, longed-for, hoped-for, faught-for pregnancy ended as quickly as it bagan.  Over the weekend I started having inklings that something was wrong.  It first came as an ominous gut feeling and was then fueled by gradually fading pink lines on the pregnancy tests I (maybe unwisely) kept taking twice a day.  I was so [...]

Today we dyed a little.  Ha-ha.  Brooke’s mom graciously allowed us to turn her back yard (and kitchen) into a yarn dyeing studio and we went to town.

After six home tests and one official blood test at IRH Clinic I can write words here that I couldn’t imagine myself ever actually typing into the keyboard. 
I AM OFFICIALLY PREGNANT!!!
A bun (or two) is in the oven.  I am a pregnant woman.  A Mom-to-be.
I actually don’t really believe it yet and my hands are shaking [...]
