The Art of Being Infertile: November 2010
http://artofbeinginfertile.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 29, 2010. I am a bit in shock, but looks like my daughter will be a big sister next year. To our surprise, A. did an early beta right before Thanksgiving so we could know the good news as we stuffed our faces with turkey. Could she be more awesome? Beta is more than doubling and we'll see how the first ultrasound goes next week. So the journey begins again. Stay tuned. Monday, November 15, 2010. The cool thing was there were two other couples in the waiting room who were also using surro...

The Art of Being Infertile: December 2010
http://artofbeinginfertile.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 20, 2010. Wednesday, December 8, 2010. How do I HEART thee? Let me count the ways. The things I never got to do when I used my own body - 1) Feel pure, unadulterated, naive, confident joy finding out I was pregnant ; 2) Have the doctor say, just come back in 6 weeks ; 3) Feel my boobs and tummy swell with life ; 4) See a heartbeat on an ultrasound that was actually in my own uterus.

The Art of Being Infertile: October 2010
http://artofbeinginfertile.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 23, 2010. I'm back, and with a cup of coffee. My last post is from August and I suppose life got so crazed that the energy to write takes a back seat to sleep, eating, and catching some good TV. I've had the urge to write, but my body just screams- SLEEP- every time my daughter naps. But I want to revive it. I want to keep the ritual of writing going, however sporadic if may become.

The Art of Being Infertile: July 2011
http://artofbeinginfertile.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 18, 2011. Amidst this summer daze of denial, fear, shock regarding the new baby, I got a jolt from the universe to snap me out of it. The sudden shift in luck with my sister somehow was the best cure for my fear about our new baby. All that undercurrent in my heart, still asking myself, "Am I a fraud? Even though I know rationally surrogacy and egg donation don't rob me of legitimacy, I was still very much struggling with it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Lupus anti c...

The Art of Being Infertile: New vocabulary
http://artofbeinginfertile.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-vocabulary.html
Wednesday, February 9, 2011. Entering into motherhood, I faced the mommy club I so longed to be in, yet hated at the same time. Products like "breast friend" made me cringe. "What the hell is a boppy? I once said. Then my words devolved into sing song baby talk - "Night, night! Do you want your baba? Did you do a poopy? But alas, these mommy sounds coming out of my mouth were a welcomed change after the spectrum of weird words flowing from me for so long. Now called baby bunching. Who knew? So I guess I ...

The Art of Being Infertile: June 2010
http://artofbeinginfertile.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 27, 2010. What's your adversity quotient? Shawangunks, New York. When I was writing in the heat of despair, the words just flowed. I was on a mission to vent. There was of course much to vent about. The need to express what was happening in my life through words, graphics, video pressed all my creative buttons. It's funny how pain can be so inspiring. It was like I would implode if I didn't get it out somehow. Monday, June 14, 2010. A mention of surrogacy. Tuesday, June 1, 2010. But just lik...

The Art of Being Infertile: March 2011
http://artofbeinginfertile.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. In a couple months I will be turning 40. It's waiting there for me. In the fertility world this marks a big cut off point as to whether a fertility doc will take on an old broad like me or toss me aside with no hope. Are all getting knocked up. But I promised myself I would end this post on a positive note, as this is the new theme I am striving for. It helps that I now have 40 followers on my blog, so thanks for that symmetry! Friday, March 18, 2011. Never thought I would post ...
