So...is anyone ready to play the, 'Is that a line' game?
I'm 10 DPO. Originally I wasn't going to test today. Actually, I was going to try to wait until Sunday to test but I figured hell, why not. So I took a test. The photo was taken within 5 minutes. The 'I don't think I see a line but I kinda see something' is on the left of

To vlog or not to vlog...
I've been going back and forth if I want to do this. It has nothing to do with valuing privacy or selling my family out. Let's be clear, if I vlog, it'll be primarily Bear and I featured (M. works full-time so he won't be available). I started looking up some prominent YouTube families to kinda get a feel of what they do

I've been stressing about my fertility and come to think of it, I shouldn't have.
I'm sure we've all heard that once a woman reaches 35, the chances of her getting pregnant significantly decreases. It's not necessarily good news to a lot of women who start trying to have a family in their mid-to-late thirties. The fact that a woman is officially called AMA - Advanced Maternal Age -
Sometimes I feel like I'm not like the others.
Not that I'm some anomaly or I'm some sort of speshul or uneek (deliberately misspelled, grammar and spelling nazis). Sometimes I feel there's me and then there's....everyone else.
Case in point, I have no qualms with not having a VBAC (Vaginal Birth after Cesarean).
Again, I'm not pregnant. I'm currently on CD 8 and we're going to start doing the Humpty Dance soon for TTC

Okay, that song has nothing to do with the blog whatsoever. But hey, the kid's flow is pretty sick. (Parental discretion...he may look like a kid but his lyrics sure ain't!)
I'm not pregnant. How's that for an opening line?
After a week and a battery of tests, not to mention I started to spot already, it's pretty official I'm not pregnant. I have to admit, I'm still debating if

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

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

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

Baby fever is starting to catch up with me.
A few months ago, I had a pregnancy scare. Hmm...I don't think I actually like calling it a scare. I know I wasn't ready at the time and I was a bit freaked out. Amazing how a few months can really make a difference.
It's not even a feeling of missing being pregnant or seeing all of the cute onesies out
