Maisie has been sick. Not in the “she has a cold” kind of way but in the “what the eff is wrong here and why isn’t she getting better” kind of way. Around the beginning of April she started spitting up – a lot. She slowed down in her weight gain, to a crawl… She also started getting a rash… (more…)
We’ve not shared our story publicly up to this point but now that the cat is out of the bag so to speak, I am going to share the process here, with names and numbers. I’ve journaled sporadically but have at least kept track of the important stuff. Some of this is pretty close to my heart and I ask… (more…)
Jennifer and the girls have been here for 1 1/2 weeks now. It feels like it is going fast yet I don’t feel like I am missing anything with them. We’ve been doing so much but yet… are not overdoing it. I am still allowing my body to dictate my day. I awaken early, I lay there for a while,… (more…)
I’ve been sick…. In the “Oh my god, what have I done to deserve this?” kind of way. In the “Please take me now.” kind of way (OK – not really… but you know what I mean). In the “Please bring me a blanket… Oh no, don’t touch me!” kind of way. For about 3 weeks. That stopped last Friday… (more…)
We have all been ill in some way or another since we’ve arrived and I must say… I am getting sick of it. I want to be healthy again.

We went back in today to have… (more…)
As I mentioned in the last post, A and I sat down last night and reviewed 2010. We also made some goals for 2011. We’ve decided to publish them as we know that will make us a wee bit more accountable. It also gives us a place to go back to remind ourselves of our goals. Studies suggest that if… (more…)
A and I sat and had a lovely evening last night. It was quiet and filled with reflection. We went through the past year and reflected on what we think went well and what we think could use some changes in the coming year. It’s the first time that we have done it and I think that we will need… (more…)
This week has actually been a good week. A and I have been able to simply hang around home and relax. I finally feel like we are getting some home time. It’s also been a week of grieving and preparing for the end of this pregnancy. We knew by Monday that my body was noticing that the fetus had passed.… (more…)
I have been researching, trying to find anything that remotely resembles our story. I have been having difficulty so I decided to finally post my history on a couple of sites to see if anyone responds. This is what I posted: HX – PCOS diagnosed in 2002. Actively sought to get healthy while working with a Master Herbalist. For the… (more…)
