My Mind Playing Tricks on Me

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KutXyPEEbQs&w=420&h=315] Ugh, I hate the 2WW. I'm going to keep it real. My willpower isn't great. It's actually pretty crappy when it comes to pregnancy testing. I'm pretty good at waiting for other things that I really want. But when I have several pregnancy tests that amount to maybe less than a dollar each...my willpower shrinks to nothing. So I've tested...a lot. Maybe too much. Yeah, negative. I think. Not sure. I really

Can You Feel It?

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW1fXL3s7bk&w=420&h=315] Today is the King of Pop's birthday. Here's a rad fact - both of my kids' middle names - Michael - is in honor of him. True story! (Though I pronounce Bear's middle name as Mikhail. It sounds better than way, IMO.) Creating a vlog channel is a little more difficult than I'd imagined. I looked through some other vloggers, just to get an idea of what they do and

Here We Go Again

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RclqsuLXlo&w=420&h=315] The waiting game. I remember years ago, when we were first trying to conceive, people kept saying how stressful the two week wait (2WW) was. Meh, I beg to differ. It's everything in preparation before the 2WW. Did I take the Fertibella today? We have to have sex tonight! Am I drinking enough green tea? Maybe I should've grabbed that pineapple and pomegranate juice from the store when I

The Humpty Dance

I'm currently on CD 12 and we're doing the Sperm Meets Egg Plan. I found some old OPKs from years ago (I think they're still good) and I've been checking my CM, which has been egg white. I was a little surprised to see Mr. Happy Face early morning today. Not sure if it's the Fertibella or if my cycle has stopped being mad at me. My most recent period was

Second Time Around

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz4YQZ01Q_A&w=420&h=315] Registering the second time around isn't that exciting. Let's get something clear - I'm not pregnant, at least not yet. This is the first official cycle of trying and I'm currently on CD 6. I won't ovulate for another week or so. I do feel surprisingly confident this time around. I don't know if it's the meditation or false hope. I would like to believe I truly think I'll

This was taken last year when we went to the local park across the street. It was just the two of us hanging out along with the other families. It's so crazy to see how small he was last year in comparison to this year. o.O

Beautiful Boy

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt3IOdDE5iA&w=420&h=315] Dear Bear, I don't know where you'll be in your life when you read this. You might be going to college. You might be graduating from college. You might be on your wedding day. You might have experienced the birth of your first child. You might have scored you first big contract. You might have lost everything and wonder why you even bothered to begin with. That's the beauty

#FlashbackFriday

Okay, I missed out on yesterday's ThrowbackThursday's post so here's a Flashback Friday: This picture was our first family one with everyone! Pretty sentimental and awesome. We used this as Christmas cards last year.  I love how Bear and I have matching hats.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okGcksYM0N8&w=560&h=315] If you haven't heard, singer Ciara and her boyfriend, Seattle Seahawks quarterback, Russell Wilson have been in the news lately. Did they rob a bank? No. Did they curse out the President? No. Were they arrested? No. So why are they in the news? Let me introduce you to Future, Ciara's ex-fiancee, and father of her son, Future (kid you not, that is the kid's horrible name). Future (who shall

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM&w=560&h=315] I really do love how naturally happy Bear is. He's just a ray of sunshine no matter how stormy my day is. No other reason for this post than that. I hope all of you are doing wonderful.
