Vanessa and I discovered this woman’s work at a recent Indianapolis art fair. We bought a print of When Dinosaurs Roamed the West (you can see it on the posters page) for our future young’n’s room. She’s going to be at Penrod Art Fair this weekend. If you can’t make it to Penrod, check her out. I [...]

New IVF Protocol
Posted by v.
Our IVF drug protocol arrived in the mail a few days ago, and I’m breathing a huge sigh of relief. Dr. G has me on Follistim and Menopur. Follistim is a lot easier to administer than Bravelle and Menopur. Also, Mel didn’t overstimulate on Follistim the way she did with B & M. [...]

Best Thai Ever, and it’s on the South Side!
Katie and I tried Thai Spice on County Line Road in Greenwood for the first time last night. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to get to another restaurant in Greenwood again. It is that good. I would go back there again tonight if I didn’t have a commitment that demands I be in [...]

Freak out– w/update
OK. Freak out, which I normally would not post to the blog, but I’m home from work right now and Vanessa is traveling and unreachable, so there is no one to have the freak out with. Apologize in the advance for the liberal use of ALL CAPS.
Just got off the phone with our fertility clinic’s financial [...]

Vanessa’s turn
posted by Melody
We went to the RE yesterday for Vanessa’s first official appointment. It was really more of a consultation about how to manage a donor egg cycle. Technically Vanessa is donating her eggs even though this is most definitely destined to be her child as well as mine. She has to get a cycle day [...]

West Palm/Delray Beach Meet-up?

The good stuff
posted by Mel
Saturday night we had beer, cheese fries, and portobello fries with Katie, Brigitte, and Brian.
Vanessa started a new job yesterday. It appears she’s going to work on some projects that have her really excited.
The dogs spent all weekend at the Barkalounge. The cats could not have been happier about it. It also gave us [...]

Midnight musings
Posted by Mel
I’ve been awake since 1:30 this morning. I’ve been sleeping (trying at least) sitting up for the past couple of nights because when I lie down excess fluid pools around my lungs, and I wake up feeling like my chest is going to explode. I got on the scale at 5:30, and I’ve [...]

Figuring out what happens now
posted by Mel
I don’t know how to blog about it, but I’m going to because I think it’s important. Because last night when I was surfing like a mad woman for information I found nothing but sterile white abstracts from clinical journals about to what research purpose fertilized Day 1 or 2 embryos that had arrested could be put. There were [...]
