… since I’ve missed posting for three days for the blog challenge! We’ll go in the style of the song, backwards from most to least. Four French Hens: Travel Tales Prior to meeting, C, I was only a for-vacation, for-adventure traveler and then only rarely because travel was expensive and not native to my family [...]
Came home tonight to “fertility surprises” from my wife which included lilies, salad, an avocado wrap, and whole (chocolate) milk… random fertility foods and flowers as listed somewhere on the information highway. Pure awesomeness since today was a schedule of work iui work again. I am so hopeful that this is the one but even [...]
… And the livin’ is busy… At the last minute, C watched our niece last night. I was at work for most of it, but they apparently had a lovely time running errands and making dinner. C sang every great toddler song with her and pointed out the various fruits and vegetables in the store. [...]
C and I got to spend a major portion of this weekend with our friend August and her child, our godchild, who just turned two. The reason for the extended time together was more than unfortunate, but the time spent together, for me, was precious. As always when I am with C and any young [...]
… to my wife, who through the past two weeks has been going through the same but different emotional roller coaster yet has been incredibly supportive to me at the same time. She generally has words of wisdom that are good to hear (even if I don’t want to hear them) and has pushed us [...]

Why’s that?” C: “Because I’m in love with our baby already.” [I realize this is mostly a "you-have-to-be-there" thing, but it is a happy thought for me and if it's here [...]
Family was here. Family has left. Post-visit sadness (and the reality of returning to work tomorrow) is settling in. We had a lovely visit with some of C’s family finally getting to see our home. We ate good meals together, spent time on our back deck, talked about plans for our house, and made plans [...]
When we first started this journey, we decided that it would be a fairly private journey (in terms of family and friends) as we did not want to open ourselves up to the potential additional pain of the questions and expectations of those who love us. About a month ago, when I was dealing with [...]
for our friend August who gave us permission to use her sperm-meets-egg art on our blog. I tried to find a more amazing way to showcase it but WordPress is sometimes a bit limited in that way :-/ August is also the mother of the baby who sells babies, a much-wanted, much-worked for ttc baby.
