baby f1rst: April 2011
http://babyf1rst.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 12, 2011. Is that a solid line or. Well, I'm pretty sure I may have had an LH surge yesterday, but I'm not 100% positive because I cheaped out and bought the ovulation kit that shows 2 lines instead of the smiley face, and it's so damn hard to read! That was stupid. So I bought the smiley face one yesterday and when I tested myself this morning, it was negative. You can't get a positive 2 days in a row right? Links to this post. Thursday, April 7, 2011. So, I am ready to go! B" is for Baby.

baby f1rst: Wow, it's been awhile!
http://babyf1rst.blogspot.com/2011/07/wow-its-been-awhile.html
Sunday, July 10, 2011. Wow, it's been awhile! I didn't realize it until I sat down to write a post just how long it's been since I last wrote anything here! I keep a journal and I write in that pretty regularly, so sometimes I forget what I've written where. That I just lost it a little bit. You ever notice you how things aren't so. Bad, until someone else feels really bad for. Well, it was like that. But by the second try, I was like ok let's do this. July 11, 2011 at 12:13 AM. After a two year journey,...

baby f1rst: 12 DPO
http://babyf1rst.blogspot.com/2011/08/12-dpo.html
Friday, August 12, 2011. This morning I took a pregnancy test. I really, really wanted to try to wait, at least until Sunday or Monday morning, because right now I’m only 12 dpo (days past ovulation), and I know that can sometimes be too early to pick up anything. I didn’t want to get disappointed by an early negative that could possibly be false. August 15, 2011 at 3:10 PM. A line is DEFINITELY a line! I just noticed this post was written on Friday. any updates? All my fingers and toes are crossed.

baby f1rst: More of the Story
http://babyf1rst.blogspot.com/2013/07/more-of-story.html
Tuesday, July 9, 2013. More of the Story. How many women came out to tell me they had gone through miscarriages. Women I had known for years told me they had 1, 2, or more miscarriages. I had no idea. I also had no idea how truly in love with the baby I had been, I was really devastated. It was without a doubt the most difficult thing I had ever been through. My doctor had told me I was lucky to get pregnant after only 3 tries, and I shouldn't expect such quick results the second time around. In all the ...

baby f1rst: May 2011
http://babyf1rst.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 23, 2011. AF arrived on Saturday, that bitch (I'm not bitter). My whole adult life I have had a hate/hate relationship with my period. It's been the source of so much pain for me - both physical and emotional. I can’t wait till I never have to get it again. Like you would immediately become this earth mother with a completely centered heart? I guess it’s unrealistic to think your personality will undergo an amazing transformation, but man, in this situation? Links to this post. Time to get ba...

baby f1rst: March 2011
http://babyf1rst.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. Day three blood work tomorrow, then my HSG on Wednesday. If everything ok and they don't find anything wrong in any of the tests, then I need to buy me some sperm! This process is crazy - a ton of waiting, then a bunchofstuffhappensrealfast, then w a i t i n g some more, then hopefully - YAY BFP! Talk about a rollercoaster. Links to this post. Sunday, March 20, 2011. I am just going to live in the moment and enjoy the positive light around me, and channel it into good baby energy.

baby f1rst: I have a secret…
http://babyf1rst.blogspot.com/2011/08/i-have-secret.html
Friday, August 12, 2011. I have a secret…. On July 31 I had IUI #3, and I didn't tell ANYONE! Everyone who knows I am going through this thinks I am waiting until my August cycle for the next IUI, at the very end of next month. I can't express how happy I am I decided to do this in secret. I feel so free. Free to feel anything I want to feel about this, free to think anything and not have to talk about it with anyone. I love it. But MAN this is the way to do it! I haven't allowed myself to even consider ...

baby f1rst: 2 Years!!
http://babyf1rst.blogspot.com/2013/07/2-years.html
Sunday, July 7, 2013. I can't believe it's been two whole years since I last wrote here. Wow. SO MUCH has happened in two years. I can't even believe that I didn't write anything more during the first part of my first pregnancy I wrote about it the last post, because yes, a line was a line, and my third IUI was successful. So I did, I took it easy, but didn't worry too much about it, since the doctor didn't seem too concerned at all. From that point on, every week or so I would have another episode of bl...

baby f1rst: The Latest 3am Epiphany
http://babyf1rst.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-latest-3am-epiphany.html
Wednesday, July 17, 2013. The Latest 3am Epiphany. So this past Saturday night I had my first real "oh my god, I might be going into labor" scare. Technically it was Sunday morning, about 3 am. I was woken up by pretty strong menstrual-type cramps. I've had them before, but never that strong. That plus the fact that baby girl hadn't been quite as active the day before, I started wondering what was going on. I am scared of going into labor alone. I mean, I know that I won't be alone at the hospital, but t...
