I am so, so tired but a little bit too full of candy to fall asleep yet. I’ve been working REALLY long days since Wednesday (and lots of hours before that) and I just want to sleep for 24 hours or so. I’ve barely had any waking hours at home lately. But I have to [...]

I’m Here, I’m Queer, I’m Updating for the Sake of it

It seems I took a short, unplanned break from blogging. It’s election time here in the US and I am in the thick of it. Well,probably not actually the thick of it, but I have been quite busy. I’ve been working on some elections stuff through my job since August and now [...]
Releasing Another Story
Posted in Uncategorized on October 17, 2008 | 18 Comments »
Fern’s temperature dropped sharply this morning which is what happens the day before she gets her period. So long, June 09 baby, it’s not looking like we’ll meet.
Now that we know Fern’s not pregnant, I have to stop telling the story of this baby in my head. Each of the last 11 tries, I have [...]
KD News!

My dear internet friends, our PNKD said yes! I’m totally shocked and excited. He contacted me and told me tonight – I didn’t even end up nudging him. Fern and I are both tired (I was at work until 10:30 tonight!) but so, so excited. He’ll need to get the blood and sperm tests before [...]
What to do?

It’s 10dpo and this TWW is just killing me. Could the days creep by more slowly? And yet I’m aware that my current position – slightly hopeful with the possibility of amazing things on the horizon – is preferable to the pain of failure and the bleakness of our options for try #12. So maybe [...]

I once wrote a post long before almost any of you were reading about how Fern and I made a conscious effort to turn off our superstitious behaviors before we started TTC. We used to knock on wood like our lives depended on it. Based on our various superstitions, we got to the point where [...]
Fall Icon!
Posted in Uncategorized on October 9, 2008 | 13 Comments »
I’m buried in work this week, so what better time to make my fall icon? I had a lot of trouble coming up with the right message, so I just went with a nice, basic demand.
I’m calling for at least 3 BFPs in the next month since we got 1 and 2 after the 1st [...]
This and That

When I boldly state my optimism to the interwebs, I think I subsequently get a little shy. But I’m still feeling optimistic, just with some of the typical trepidation mixed in. It’s 4dpo but it feels like we’ve been waiting much longer. We totally NAILED the timing this round. Fern had [...]
Obnoxious Optimism
Posted in Uncategorized on October 3, 2008 | 8 Comments »
In the face of so much personal despair lately, I’ve decided to try my hand at optimism for this cycle. We moved 11.1 up to this morning and will do another insemination tomorrow and a third on Tuesday if it looks like Fern hasn’t ovulated.
Last night I told Fern she’d better scoop the litter box [...]
Still Standing

Thank you all for your comments on my last post. It seems like a lot of you are having bad times right now too. Maybe the changing seasons makes this all harder to take – I don’t know. I think I need to make a fall inspirational message image to encourage a [...]
