Perspective

February 11, 2019 by DanaeL 1 Comment

I am officially 6 months pregnant and its a crazy and exciting feeling! 😄 I will have another update post up soon about how we are doing at preparing, recent doctors appointments, and due dates but that’s not the focus for this post. I learned an important and interesting fact recently that literally stopped me in my tracks and I feel like I need to talk about it.

Even at 6 months along, I am still having to do my daily shot. 💉 Today will be shot #390 actually. If you know anything about me, you know how much I absolutely hate shots and that I have complained about them numerous times over the years. Every night I cringe when the alarm on my phone goes off at 8:30 to remind me its time to stab myself once again. I started counting them in the beginning with a “look what this ridiculous infertility nonsense is making me do” attitude and never dreamed I would be about to cross my count into the 400’s.

2019 Has Arrived!

We successfully made it through another holiday season! This year I was with Cliffs family for Christmas and it was weird not being able to participate in the delicious holiday adult beverages or hot tub time that is forever known as “the trust tree”. 🌳 If you have seen the movie Old School, you will get that reference.. if you haven’t seen it, go watch it immediately! Its hilarious. Anyways.. As much as I enjoy those holiday festivities, I am totally fine with missing out because of this important thing I am doing called growing a human! 🤰🏼

I’m Still Here!

I feel like I need to start this post off with an apology. I took an unintentional hiatus from posting and not only was it not good for me but it has left a lot of you in the dark. Our infertility journey has not ended and I am truly sorry to all of you that I haven’t updated in quite a while.

I have been having a hard time putting a lot of what’s been going on into words. Have you ever had a time in your life where you feel something is too good to be true? Almost like you are so sure that something bad is going to happen and feel like it could pop its ugly head out at any moment? I am now 17 weeks pregnant and that is mostly how I felt up until about week 15. 😕

I thought once we were finally pregnant,Continue Reading

And Life Goes On..

Well its been almost 3 weeks since the devastating news about our failed transfer and it hasn’t been easy. We had the opportunity to go out to the lake, ignore the world, and just exist with our dogs so we took it. But even that didn’t start off well.. the first night we were there, our dogs were outside doing dog things and we fell asleep on the couch for a few hours. When we woke up around 11pm we decided to go to bed and went outside to get the dogs. That’s when we discovered Righley (our border collie) was no where to be found. Continue Reading

My love/hate relationship with May 15th

May 15, 2018 by DanaeL 1 Comment

Yes, yes I know.. I was supposed to put up this post like a week ago. 🤪 In my defense, I have had TONS of adulting to do! Also, if this was posted last week, it would have been written with sad words and powered by my stream of tears. No one wants to read that and I for sure didn’t want to write it. So instead, I have chosen to wait until today to explain this current saga of nonsense with IVF/infertility. Why today you ask?? Because today was supposed to be our transfer day. 😢 May 15th. In my mind, this was the perfect day because not only was it finally happening but its the day before Cliffs birthday and that made us happy. Soooooo once again, what happened??

Last Tuesday I had my ultrasound which was supposed to give us the “good-to-go” thumbs up from the doctor for transfer. Well,Continue Reading
