When agony met hope. Stumbling through infertility, one day at a time. Tuesday, February 10, 2015. Forgive me, Readers, for I have sinned. It's been almost three weeks since my last confessional post. There has been a lot of wallowing in Agony land. Or, more accurately, had been a lot of wallowing. The first two weeks post-miscarriage were, in short, horrible. Not just emotionally but also physically, and in ways I didn't expect. I told her that I wasn't sure of the culprit: infection? When Dr. Smile...

when agony met hope...: 33w0d.
http://whenagonymethope.blogspot.com/2015/10/33w0d.html
When agony met hope. Stumbling through infertility, one day at a time. Friday, October 9, 2015. Fun fact: According to the OB's office, I was actually 33w0d yesterday. But I'm pretty sure this is based on the due date of 11/25, which was given to me by the same site that told me what week/day I was based on my transfer date. So, I suppose I *could* be 33w1d today, but whatevs.]. Still craving bread-y, squishy carbs. The bad heartburn continues! We're finished with our prenatal classes! When I saw the OB ...

torthúil: July 2015
http://torthuiljourney.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 27 July 2015. I'm a bit preoccupied and doing things mainly for distraction. Hopefully I can update in a few days with a clear mind. In the meantime here's something I am hoping to make today: Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins. I'm not particularly domestic and don't usually spend a lot of time researching new recipes, making Pinterest boards, etc. But a couple of months ago I started making these muffins for Mr. Turtle to freeze for breakfast at work. And they are so yummy! Friday, 24 July 2015. Jump into...

torthúil: October 2014
http://torthuiljourney.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 23 October 2014. The Last Days of Pregnancy. Read it; it's good. Yup, that's where I'm at. The writer, Zana Studelska, uses the German word "Zwischen" or "between" to write about the last days of pregnancy, i.e. waiting for baby. What is it with due dates, anyway? The stats say that only 5% of babies arrive on their due date. I suppose it is medically necessary, as this article says. Nobody is doing that. To me ( and they'd be in big do-do if they tried. What's going on now? Of course upon gett...

torthúil: November 2014
http://torthuiljourney.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, 27 November 2014. One month and those multiple Kleenex moments. It's one month since AJ was born. AJ was happily asleep in her bassinet when her birth time came around. I stared at her and whispered "Happy one month." Cried some more. Stayed awake some more. The irony. But it was fine, it was OK, it was better than OK. AJ at one month:. Outgrowing her newborn clothes fast - some of them still fit, but she's wearing the larger 0-3 sleepers and onesies. Feeding well but for shorter periods of tim...

torthúil: May 2015
http://torthuiljourney.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 27 May 2015. As AJ grows, I see the percentage slowly changing from Mostly Baby to More and More AJ. Of course there is a lot of baby left, and I'm not in a hurry to lose that! But she is an ever-evolving creature. It's hypnotic, astonishing, and sometimes almost terrifying to watch. What have we unleashed upon the world? How can life surround us prodigiously, and yet be so unique and miraculous at once? What's new this month:. Steadily holds an object in her hands to chew on. Definitely getti...

When agony met hope. Stumbling through infertility, one day at a time. Thursday, November 5, 2015. Biophysical profile 11/6; OB 11/10. 598 lbs. Up a little but down almost 4 lbs. just from yesterday, due to several monster poops. (Sorry, TMI! Averaging between 5 and 6, which is about 1-2 less than I'd like. Staying asleep is harder these days, and not just because of the constant peeing. What I'm not loving:. Gaining weight again. For a while I thought I'd hold steady at 55 lbs. Really hoping I l...Getti...

When agony met hope. Stumbling through infertility, one day at a time. Thursday, June 25, 2015. Bell pepper or sweet potato. 372 lbs. Up 7 lbs. from last week. I've officially stopped weighing myself every day, because it makes me too depressed. I worked on a farm over the weekend and. Went swimming for hours on Monday, but then my hands swelled so much that when I woke Tuesday I couldn't make fists. The OB has ordered me indoors. She says it's too hot and humid for me to be outside. Funsies. Carbs My st...
