Barren Babe: October 2011
http://barrenbabe.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Surviving in a baby-obsessed world with courage, dignity, and style. Friday, October 28, 2011. October is the month we were married. With each anniversary comes celebration, but it also highlights what is not there and the years we have been busy trying to create a family. In nine years I truly thought we would have at least two children, but it is what it is. We have each other and we are closer than I ever thought we would be on our wedding day in 2002.

Barren Babe: Post-Op Days
http://barrenbabe.blogspot.com/2012/07/post-op-days.html
Surviving in a baby-obsessed world with courage, dignity, and style. Thursday, July 19, 2012. Today marks day 16 since my surgery, and I am feeling good. Yesterday I wore capris that had a zipper and waistband - which is a big deal since I've been hanging out in loose fitting shorts, stretchy jersey skirts, and flowing sundresses for two weeks. Today I feel like myself again. When did a hospital become a loud-talking place? Finally I feel good again. Going out for sushi with an old friend (who is als...

Barren Babe: February 2013
http://barrenbabe.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Surviving in a baby-obsessed world with courage, dignity, and style. Tuesday, February 5, 2013. We are getting ready to adopt a 17 month old boy from Vietnam at the end of this month. Life is crazy right now. It was the end of October when we received a referral to adopt a 13 month old boy with a minor correctable medical condition (he has a hernia). Wow!

Barren Babe: September 2011
http://barrenbabe.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Surviving in a baby-obsessed world with courage, dignity, and style. Thursday, September 1, 2011. Not The Chosen Ones. Three weeks ago DH came home from work and informed me that he had heard back from the adoption agency we had signed up with in July. Our profile had been presented, but the teenage girl and her boyfriend chose another couple as adoptive parents for their baby. Wow. Three weeks later I still feel a sting.

Barren Babe: April 2012
http://barrenbabe.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Surviving in a baby-obsessed world with courage, dignity, and style. Wednesday, April 18, 2012. April is the Cruellest Month. It's funny how life can be smooth and quiet for months and then everything seems to happen at once. By the Ontario Health Insurance Plan). This afternoon I was searching the internet for ovarian cancer and I am scared because I have some of the symptoms, although they are quite vague: fatigue, bloating, abdominal/pelvic pain. I am trying to remain calm, but inside I am freakin...

Barren Babe: August 2011
http://barrenbabe.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Surviving in a baby-obsessed world with courage, dignity, and style. Thursday, August 11, 2011. Dinner last Saturday went well. While drinking a glass of red wine I decided to reveal our adoption plans. Actually I was asked what I had been up to these days and asked DH if I should tell them about our 'project', and then I told them we are thinking of adopting. And I must go through the whole process over and over again. Thursday, August 4, 2011. To Know or Not to Know. Motherhood in your 40s. Surviving i...

Barren Babe: February 2012
http://barrenbabe.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Surviving in a baby-obsessed world with courage, dignity, and style. Wednesday, February 1, 2012. Another Day, Another Ultrasound. This morning I went for another ultrasound. The doctor wants to see if there has been any change in the cyst, and perhaps to get alternate views. I had complained to her about my experience at the other place, so she sent the requisition to a local hospital with a Women's Health Division. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Sex and the City.

Barren Babe: December 2011
http://barrenbabe.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Surviving in a baby-obsessed world with courage, dignity, and style. Friday, December 16, 2011. Busy baking sugar cookies today. I put on Christmas tunes by Perry Como and Bing Crosby to get me in the yuletide spirit and it actually did the trick. The cookies are rather crumbly as I substituted white rice flour for all-purpose flour as I am on a gluten-free kick. Maybe I won't be giving these away this year. Looking for a good gluten-free sugar cookie recipe. Monday, December 12, 2011. We have the tree u...

Barren Babe: June 2012
http://barrenbabe.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Surviving in a baby-obsessed world with courage, dignity, and style. Thursday, June 28, 2012. Five days until the laparoscopy. I can't wait until this cyst is out of my body. But as it gets closer my anxiety grows stronger. Aside from getting my wisdom teeth extracted when I was 18 way back in the 80s, I have never had surgery. It is the fear of the unknown that makes me most nervous. I just want to get this cyst out of my body and move on. Friday, June 1, 2012. My gynecologist believes that my cyst is m...

Barren Babe: June Already
http://barrenbabe.blogspot.com/2012/06/june-already.html
Surviving in a baby-obsessed world with courage, dignity, and style. Friday, June 1, 2012. My gynecologist believes that my cyst is most likely a dermoid, which are usually benign. and my CA-125 came back with a really low number and the doctor believes this is good. My laparascopic surgery is scheduled for early July. I am nervous, but I just want this cyst out of my body. It Is What It Is. I hope you had a fabulous dinner followed by a great sleep and lazy Saturday. June 2, 2012 at 8:26 AM. SavvyAuntie...
