Tomorrow at 11am, just about 24 hours from now, we will be in the procedure room transferring our blastocyst. I honestly cannot believe it’s here and I’m feeling very good about it. I have been envisioning being pregnant and even holding our beautiful child in the delivery room and in our home. I have been trying […]

I’ve felt mostly calm and excited this cycle, thinking about the prospect that this could be the cycle I finally see those two beautiful pink lines. Irwin and I have decided to take a very positive approach to our frozen embryo transfer and speak about our baby as if he or she will be here […]

I literally have done what feels like a weeks worth of work in the last two days and I am TIRED. I actually woke up a bit before Irwin’s alarm went off this morning and told myself to go back to bed because it was Sunday… nope. I’ve pretty much been working daily for the […]

Guys, I had a weekend, and not in a good way. I won’t go into details – but between being emotionally drained, people complaining, and a very negative conversation someone tried to have with me about having children, I was totally over it as of yesterday afternoon. So then we finally made it to the end […]

We are scheduled for our transfer on February 23rd, and the embryology lab will call on Thursday with time we need to be at the hospital. […]

Ah, love. L O V E love. {please tell me someone got this Friends reference}. Yesterday was Valentine’s Day! Irwin and I have never been huge V-Day people, but something about all the red and pink really gets me. I only work until 2pm each day, which gave me lots of time to prep for […]

Womp womp. It’s Monday again. I think we can all agree that weekends need to be longer. Can I be honest with you all for a second? I am bored, like just in general, with my life. I feel very stagnant in a lot of what I do every day, and I cannot decide if […]

So about 6 years ago, I unknowingly started a little tradition I like to call the “me date”, because everyone needs a little self love, amiright? Irwin and I didn’t actually end up spending a Valentines Day together until after we were married only because I was still away at school, and when I finally came […]

This week in Cleveland has been CRUMMY. Lots of snow, really cold – basically it’s February and nobody wants to ever leave their homes. Because of this, I’ve been watching a lot of movies lately. Irwin had worship team practice for church last night and I turned on War Room. I’d been wanting to rewatch this […]

Back in 2016, I joined this group of ladies called the four week wait-ers. It actually started earlier in the year as the “two week wait” but crept up to four weeks. Anyone who has ever struggled with infertility will totally get this – it’s not the two weeks after ovulation that is the longest, […]
