Fifteen years is a long time to do anything. Whether it's a job, a hobby, a family tradition, it becomes a part of you. It's also a really long time to love and be committed to someone. Especially when you were just sixteen years old to start with. That's exactly what Scott has given me [...]

I have just had a 33 day cycle. Shortest of my life. Now we can get this show on the road! No PROVERA!

I've been having a tough week emotionally so far. I think it's due to the juxtaposition of being in this limbo of waiting for my period and watching two friends give birth (so happy for them, truly!) in the past two weeks. Oh, and there was the sermon Sunday about heaven that included a high [...]

I've done my yoga for the day, Lexi and I are all dressed for our walk, and after that's done, I start my recovery week!! It was planned to be the week I take provera, but it looks like I may not have to do that, so it's just going to be a week where [...]

As we transition into trying to get pregnant again, I've realized it's probably time to look at fitness a little differently too. Whether I want or believe or admit it or not, I've lost the majority of what I need to lose, and, now I need to shift my focus from dropping pounds to refining [...]

As we are about to enter this new and possibly exhausting season of fertility drugs, bloodwork, and scheduled intimacy again after two and a half years, I want to take a little time to write about the reasons I have to be encouraged and hopeful about the outcome of even the first month. - I am [...]
