Dream Diary: Legend

There is a Japanese legend (actually, don’t quote me on the origin) which says that “when you can't sleep at night it's because you're awake in someone else's dream”. If this is really true, then a lot of people must hate me right now!

Lately, my nights have been filled with dream after dream about people I know; some very realistic and others clearly fiction. Close friends and family as well as people who I haven’t seen in years and I would never expect to appear in a dream, but there they are all just as clear as though I had seen them yesterday. I blame Facebook for this!

So in the event that this legend is true, my apologies to those who I have been keeping up at night!

New Beginnings: Where Do We Go From Here?

As of now we have a number of embryos frozen for future use. Not all of them made it this far but that is completely normal. So, now what happens?

To get pregnant, “normal” couples go into a bedroom somewhere (or backseat of a car if you prefer) without an audience and TTC. If they succeed, 3 months later they get to make their big announcement and surprise their family and friends. And now, I am glad to say that we can do the same… well, almost.

New Beginnings: Retrospective Part III

Collection day, August 29! They asked us to be there for 7:30am and by 8:00am they were already getting us prepped. They connected me to an IV and went over the procedure while DH did his part in the “boom-boom-room” (my new term for it).

New Beginnings: Retrospective Part II

On August 19, all reservations and fears now gone, DH and I went in for our first ultrasound. I was a tiny bit worried that I might have a cyst blocking me from starting as I have had in the past, but everything was perfect; start injecting!

New Beginnings: Retrospective Part I

August went by in a flash! Summer is over, school has started back up again, and soon the weather will be changing too; bye-bye summer, hello fall! We have been extremely busy and I haven’t really had the chance to write in recent weeks, so I decided to set aside some time to share the reasons why and let everyone in on our little secret!
