Someone just heated up packaged mac and cheese in the breakroom around the corner from my office, and I have never smelled anything more heavenly.

Less symmetrical these days

I think my left boob actually swells (more than the right) as the day progresses and goes back down at night. By the end of the afternoon it’s threatening to liberate itself from my bra, and any blouse or t-shirt I am wearing is pulled 3 inches farther in that direction. I might have to give [...]

More Firsts

Vanessa and I just got back from our first real OB appointment. We love her. We didn’t know her before, and, for some reason, the intake nurse we saw a couple of weeks ago thought she would be a good fit for us.

Vee and Jay, we couldn’t be more happy for you. You guys have been there with us from the very beginning of our journey. It feels like the universe is righting itself a little bit.
