Resolve

Update: 1-minute contractions every 10 minutes from 4am on. They start in my back, then come around to belly and shoot down legs. Maybe a bit more frequent now. Talked to Dr. Skinny late last night,...

Quick Questions

Hello, internets. I owe you a post or ten — or at least some pictures (I got one with a smile yesterday! A smile!) — but as I am typing one-handed, marooned under a finally-sleeping Bean*, I must beg...

Better Living Through Chemistry

(It’s taken me two days to write this, so the time references are all off. I know you don’t care, but For The Record.) This morning, during the twenty minutes that the Bean deigned to sleep not on me...

Birth Story, Part Four

Oh my, oh my! Looks like those other two babies either have beaten me (I’m guessing, here) or are poised to do so! Squeeee! Where were we? Ah, yes. Monday afternoon. We were on the subway. Of course....

Birth Story Part Five

Back to our story, already in progress. (See parts 1, 2, 3, and 4.) As you’ve probably gathered, Dr. Jerkwad did not paralyze me. Thank you, Hippocratic oath. Or self-interest — my mother pointed out...

Back In The Saddle

…or the stirrups, anyway. No, no, not in the TTC sort of way, not yet anyway. I won’t spring that on you without some high-octane angst first, promise. But I did go to the OB/Gyn, for the first time...

Wean-y Thoughts

Oh, internets.  Can you help me with my boobs again? I’m pretty done with this nursing business.  I know Brooklyn moms aren’t supposed to wean before kindergarten, but even so.  I think I’ve done what...

Quickly Thursday

Internets! I keep thinking I’ll find time for real posts, but the semester is kicking my ass pretty hard. So. Let’s see what I can speed-type before the Bean wakes up (and God, heap blessings on the...

Notes From A Nor’easter

Hello, internets. It’s that time again: time for a post, because I did say I’d try to do this every-day gig, but not only time for a post, no, because it is Shark Week (tip of the…hat to May) and …...

Weaning is Winning

Hey there, internets. Hope you are having lovely weekends and not getting trampled in a stampede of people fighting over discounted Chinese electronics or anything. Black Friday is maybe not really my...

News From the Front

The bottom of the front, specifically. The front bottom, if you will. The appointment went well. Dr. Baby Factory did not, after all, yell at me, you will be relieved to hear, though as always, he had...

Addled All Over

Sometimes (read: most of the time) I think I am making things up about my body. That my ailments are manifestations of my addled brain alone, that I imagine or make myself ill as a means of proving to...

Not Dead, Mostly

One of the hardest things for me to learn in college, which was my first extended period away from a household headed by two doctors, was that when people say, I’d rather not talk about that at the...

CD 1 Eve

Hi, internets. You awake? I am, and I’m blaming my new, thrilling PMS symptom of intractable insomnia on the day prior to my period’s arrival. I could be wrong: I’ve been thinking my period imminent...

Meanwhile, Back At Prostaglandin Ranch

…having my period while barred from NSAIDs and taking care of a toddler (which precludes a Percocet haze) is going just about as fucking well as you might fucking imagine. I would happily gnaw my way...

Obligatory Drug Shipment Picture

Criminy. (It’s okay. I shouldn’t need any of those before next week. The first thing I need is the ovidrel trigger, which wasn’t in that box anyway, since the insurance company won’t fill it until...

Post-Ovulatory Items

Sshhh, internets, the Bean is sleeping. Finally. I should be in the other room, using this time to finish my semester grading, but the Bean is also sick, and if I move, nap over. So how’s about some...

Pre-Dawn

Hi, internets. It’s 5am. I’ve been up since 3:30 or so, when I decided I wasn’t sleeping well in the Bean’s room and that I should return to my own, since he’d recovered from the coughing and crying...

In Case You Were Wondering

I am depressed, resentful of the progesterone’s making me feel this way since I’m convinced I am not pregnant, the Bean refuses to nap and is about as independent as a tapeworm lately, I accidentally...
