Sideswipe Fail
Here we are at 28 weeks. The little man is growing beautifully- in fact- perhaps a little too beautifully. All of my babies have been small- IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction) likely due to suspected and confirmed placental insufficiency related to my PV. This little man however- is measuring big. Really big. Big enough for The…

Halfway (actually more)
Well here we are- the halfway point. 20 weeks and 4 days. Actually somewhere beyond the true halfway point as we know this pregnancy will not go a full 40 weeks. When I asked The Peri and my OB what week they guessed we would make it to they both (independently of one another) said…

Post -op. Day 2
I lost track of time the day of surgery into this morning. According to the surgeon everything went as planned and he had me in the OR for fewer hours than he originally estimated. I don’t remember much from the ride home or the first few hours post-op, but today I’m a bit less foggy.…

The heart of the matter
I shared this on FB today and I think it is fitting to share it here as well: Here is my take on the protest that was planned for today in our community. Take it for what it is- but whatever you do- please don’t focus on being a voice solely for yourself- be a…

Skin Deep
This is the story about how I came to a pretty big decision. As told in a bunch of Gif’s. If you know me in real life, or if you have read here for any length of time, you probably know that I am a fairly open person- as open as anyone can be while…
