E. had his three-month checkup yesterday, which is apparently the pediatrician’s favourite because “It’s really short and there aren’t any needles.” He’s still growing- 14 lb, 4 oz, 62.5 cm long, and head circumference of 42 cm. He’s solidly 75th percentile in all categories, and everything looks great. The pediatrician basically told me outright to [...]

A study in contrasts…

This is the summer/autumn of weddings for Q. and I, apparently. We’ve already been to one, and there are three more on the horizon (we didn’t have any last year). At the wedding in July we had discussed in advance how we would wrangle E. Basically, since they were my friends who were getting married, [...]
Spoiled rotten

First up, an administrative update. I had a midwife appointment this morning, and once again, everything was absolutely perfect. My fundal height was back where it ought to be (at 34 cm), BP was on the higher end for me, but still very low, heart rate was great, baby is still head down, etc. The [...]
Gifts (and a belly pic)

Thank you to whomever submitted my news to LFCA. That was a lovely surprise. I had a friend visiting this weekend who brought gifts for the baby: a sleeper that can do bare feet with cuffs or feet tucked in, and a toy that wraps around the bar of a stroller that has a rattle [...]
Coming out of the infertility closet?

So after the ultrasound on Thursday, Q. and I decided that we could stop keeping this baby a secret among our wider circle of friends, as we were both tired of lying about our plans for next year, why I wasn’t ever drinking, etc. And luckily we had a work gathering that same night, so [...]

My sister and I were having tea today and she said exactly the same thing that I have been thinking for the last couple of days: “It must be such a nice feeling to be able to tell people something like this and have them react instantly with just overwhelming joy and excitement. You’re spreading [...]

I did say I’d come on to post about what our f/s had to say at our WTF appointment yesterday. The weirdest part of the day was realizing the visceral reaction my body now has to the clinic. My heart starts pounding as I walk up to the doors of the building. By the time [...]
For a friend

One of the girls on my forum had her baby, a beautiful little girl, on Saturday. She was discharged Monday, but baby A. was transferred to the NICU Sunday night because she was lethargic, refusing to feed, and turning blue. She’s a bit jaundiced, which could explain the lethargy and the feeding issues, but the [...]
News, unexpected

It’s been a rough weekend. It started on Friday with a call from my endocrinologist. My thyroid is out of whack, again. He wants to up my dose from 0.75 daily to 0.1. I know there’s a 0.885 pill out there, so that must mean it’s significantly out of whack, since we’re jumping a pill. [...]
Why can’t we be friends?

This was not the post I was planning to write. I’ve been nominated for two bloggie awards by two of my favourite ladies, and I had intentions of getting round to responding and tagging…but that’ll have to wait for now. I have a message forum with a group of wonderful ladies who have become some [...]
