  I’ve mentioned before that my mom has a blog. She’s allowing me to share her latest post. This is no small feat since I refuse to let her read my blog -at least for now. (And fortunately for me, she’s doesn’t know how to fi...

• An Opportunity Not Wasted

  My unsupportive co-worker (who I talk about here) and I had an interesting chat this afternoon.  She started it by telling me she wanted my take on something: a close friend of hers has a possible opportunity to adopt a baby. Before I get into the ...

• One Month Later

  Posted on Wednesday July 15th, 2009 at 21:02 in motherhood, single mother by choice

  One month ago today I had my first beta for C6. After getting positive (sorta) pee sticks, it was on this day that I learned I would not have a successful cycle. Technically there was a chance but I knew better with a beta of 20. Anyway, here I am...

• I Stalked My Ex-Husband on Faceb.ook

  Posted on Saturday June 6th, 2009 at 08:47 in motherhood, exes

  HA! Seriously, I’m not really a stalker. Just curious. My ex-husband and I split up (gulp!) 15 years ago. We were young when we got married – I was 21; he was 24. We realized we were too young about three years in and it was an amica...

  In honor of the Mother’s Day that isn’t, I treated myself to a spa pedicure today -something I never do. (one day early I know but I’d rather not be out among the masses tomorrow.) And I had a $10 off coupon. And I forgot to turn...

  Hellooooo.  I’m back!  I’ve been out of town for the past seven days visiting my two adorable nieces and my brother.  I tried to keep up with your blogs on my mobile phone but couldn’t leave comments.  I am so excited for all of...

• Better Side of Me

  Posted on Thursday April 23rd, 2009 at 11:17 in growth, motherhood

  Right now, I’m not the best me. I don’t mean I’m sad or down or pissed, I just mean that I’m not my best self. With someone to love and care about and care for, I’m a different person; a better person. I know this fro...

  Posted on Sunday April 12th, 2009 at 20:12 in family, motherhood, doubt, single mother by choice

  All it takes is a day with family and holding your cousin’s two month-old baby girl (an IVF twin!) for an hour to get you back on the band wagon. I’ll admit I still have my doubts and probably will for a long time, but I WANT THAT. I re...

  Finally some good news. My hCG level dropped to 14 yesterday. Who would have ever thought that was a good thing, such a low number, but right now it is. It’s likely I will not need intervention to get me back to normal (or as normal as I cou...

• Grandma’s Starring Role

  Posted on Sunday March 8th, 2009 at 14:10 in family, motherhood

  My mother is an outgoing, sensitive, opinionated lady. Picture crazy Italian grandmother without the accent. She hasn’t had an easy adult life. After getting pregnant with my oldest brother and getting kicked out of my Catholic grandparent&#...
