We conceived 100% naturally, and I am beyond blessed. It makes me weepy to think about all of this. Since the last time I wrote in this blog, I had ... http://ourjourney.blolg.org/?p=109 My dear Mrs.Kristin Clark "tagged" all of her blog friends on Facebook to write up nine things they are thankful for in their life on this day, 9/9/09. I thought it was the perfect challenge to myself, as I have been neglecting my blogging duties (not so much neglecting as ... http://ourjourney.blolg.org/?p=104 Today was my doctor's appointment for my CD13 ultrasound, consultation, and blood work and it could honestly have not gone any worse in any way. I still cannot process a lot of it, and I have had a very rough time dealing with it. When I am able to better ... http://ourjourney.blolg.org/?p=101 I just really wanted to type this quick message up to thank all of you ladies who read and support this blog.

You would think it would be harder, but maybe I've just become apathetic, hardened...numb to the fact that ... http://ourjourney.blolg.org/?p=89 It is now CD27, and I didn't have any spotting or bleeding yet. :D This calls for a *huge* hip-hip-hooray! At this point, even if I were to get my dear AF, this cycle would still be considered a semi-success for me, because it was a "normal," "textbook," 28-day cycle. ... http://ourjourney.blolg.org/?p=87 So, obviously, the past few days I have been having various slight cramping and twinging...you know, the usual.

It happens every 1-5 minutes, depending, and it varies from a dull aching pain to a sharp twinge, almost like a shooting ... http://ourjourney.blolg.org/?p=85 These past few days have been full of extreme tension for me. Will I get AF really early again and be completely disappointed and shattered, not only that she arrived, but that she came so early and I never had a chance? Will I make it past CD23 and CD24 ... http://ourjourney.blolg.org/?p=81 You know what they say..."Three times a charm." Well, can it please be two instead?
