Demons
Demons
bagmomma.blogspot.com — Demons. They do exist. Maybe not the horror-movie kind, but certainly the emotional kind. I had thought of not posting this. I thought about the eyes that could read this today, tomorrow, someday... and say, "why is this any of her business when she doesn't know the whole story?"  ... (more) Demons
Gratitude
Gratitude
bagmomma.blogspot.com — I have a lot to say, but just don't have the energy to put it into words right now.  That day is coming soon though...  just not today.   Don't worry, I'm not abandoning my blog.  Just waiting for the inspiration to move me. I am writing today to offer up ... (more) Gratitude
Cue Monster
bagmomma.blogspot.com — The post I didn't want to write. I don't know where to go from here.  You see, there's comfort in having a plan. Even if it's the best or worst plan in the world, HAVING a plan gives you something to hold on to when you are trying to keep your head above water.  A point of ... (more) Cue Monster
The last chapter...
The last chapter...
bagmomma.blogspot.com — For the inquiring minds: I tested this morning. I stared back at nothing. Not even a whisper of a line. Please, do not tell me it's too early. It's not. So this is what it feels like to really fail at something. To exhaust every path, to endure every last available technology.  ... (more) The last chapter...
A swine Halloween
A swine Halloween
bagmomma.blogspot.com — Swine flu or no swine flu, we managed to have Halloween here at the BagMomma house after all. It's been a long week, and I am not lying when I tell you I had almost forgotten I had my FET last Tuesday. David being sick was all the diversion I needed. Thankfully, the boy started feeling ...

I Want Candy
I Want Candy
bagmomma.blogspot.com — Day two of bedrest. So with the incredibily suck-ass news yesterday, I forgot to update you all on the flu situation here at the house. David, yes, is an H1N1 victim (as is a host of kids in his school). This morning, as I was sipping coffee and eating a peanut butter cup (don't judge me, ... (more) I Want Candy
The Lone Ranger
The Lone Ranger
bagmomma.blogspot.com — My bad luck follows me like a stray dog. They had to thaw all 7 remaining embryos, and of those, only ONE made it through the thaw.  My clinic has a 70% thaw rate.  There I go beating the crappy odds once again. I'm disappointed, sad, and generally pissed off. The one that ... (more) The Lone Ranger
Down with the sickness
Down with the sickness
bagmomma.blogspot.com — Because, really... could this week even be more drama and suspense filled? Little D has the flu. His symptoms started last night and evolved into something closely resembling H1N1. They are treating it as that because, well... it's too early to be the seasonal flu, and he did have a ...

Zultan, the Magnificent
Zultan, the Magnificent
bagmomma.blogspot.com — This weekend, we went to a Halloween party hosted by my neighbor, who is the ultimate party hostess. Her house, decorated inside and out is a Halloween showpiece. She spends weeks (yes, I said WEEKS) prepping for the holiday. I wish you could all see it, really I do. So anyway, she has a ton ... (more) Zultan, the Magnificent
Breathe In...
Breathe In...
bagmomma.blogspot.com — Well, this FET cycle sure snuck up on me. Lining check today and all is well.  Lining is a very cushy 13mm (which is way thicker than last time, I'm not sure if that makes a difference).  Bloodwork also came in right on target. Transfer is Tuesday. {Breathe Out} Here ... (more) Breathe In...
Me, me, me
Me, me, me
bagmomma.blogspot.com — I have a backlog of memes I've been tagged for in the last couple of weeks.  My blogging friend Melissa tagged me for this one.  It's sort of a photo-centric one about your favorite things.  This blog needs a pick-me-up post, so be forewarned...    I am stressed, ...

Compassion
Compassion
bagmomma.blogspot.com — October 15th is like a ticking time bomb for me. It's a reminder that I am still in the trenches of infertility and loss.  I will always be no matter where my journey ends. I've blogged on this day over the years , and each time I do... I feel emptiness reflecting ... (more) Compassion
Weeds
Weeds
bagmomma.blogspot.com — I hate the fact that lately I haven't had much to say lately that was positive. If you all knew me IRL you would know that I am (mostly) a glass half-full kind of girl. Sure, you can beat me down with a stick, but I am like that dandelion that keeps coming back on your almost weed-free ... (more) Weeds

The world we live in...
bagmomma.blogspot.com — Yesterday, we bought pumpkins to decorate and put on the front step. David spent a considerable amount to time drawing a vampire, a skeleton, and a graveyard with markers on one pumpkin. He proudly put it on the front step last night. This morning, we woke to smashed pumpkins ... (more) The world we live in...
The Downpour
The Downpour
bagmomma.blogspot.com — Coming off of a stellar week, and when I say "stellar" I say that with the most sarcasm I can muster. I've been sick since last Friday, with some sort of head cold/sinus infection. I can't even describe the amount of pain I was in over the weekend. I can tell you that I seemed to have passed ...
