following the official theme this week: changing the world.
meet charley.
as you can tell from the header, we have four dogs. charley was my first dog as a grownup. i’d owned a cat and a horse, but due to the constant shift in living and economic situations, i had to give them both away. the cat [...]

h. is more convinced, with every passing day of nausea, that i am pregnant.
whenever i get pregnant, our nickname for the bean will be sparky. sparky the sparkplug.
this morning, she drew me this:
he is wearing a sombrero and fancy belt. and as a disclaimer, h. says: “i know he looks like a dressed up tampon, [...]

nausea? check.
…for the past 3 days, i feel piqued, like my finger is placed just next to my gag reflex. i had a random craving for fried chicken yesterday, and had to throw it away after one bite. wtf?

fatigue? check.
i have slept [...]

my chart is beyond bizarre this month, and i really don’t know how to interpret it. thank you to alayna for her reassurance that trusting your own body is sometimes more accurate than trusting an opk. we insemmed a total of 3 times so far, and are now waiting and seeing. i know that it [...]

i thought i had my cycle figured out.
ha.
this sluggish sickness is taking its toll on my chart. and i am utterly confused.
we insemmed again last night, even though i had a very faint line on the opk. it’s been light for the past two days, after a dark-but-still-lighter-than-baseline reading on friday. my rationale is that [...]

i have sperm inside me for the first time.
right now.
i’m propped. right now.
h and the coach are sharing a cigarette in mutual celebration.
this is probably early. opk’s are still a little light. but, i have: ewcm. spotting. constipation. open, soft cervix.
so. the coach donated early. after i’m done laying here, we’ll play some canasta and [...]

oh, and can i buy you a [...]

here is a self portrait of my three tattoos:
i got the left blue star done first in november 2003. i was profoundly depressed and wrestling with the all-too-familiar issue of being a christian (in the bible belt) and being a lesbian. i needed evidence of a god who would never leave nor forsake. what is [...]

midwife without a nickname thus far has impressed me quite a bit…so much so that i would really love to work with her.
and so i immediately emailed her my concerns, because i’d hate to be officially rejected because she hates the gays or something.
my email:
I know we are in Austin, but I am still nervous [...]

being the research monster i’ve become, i emailed every midwife in town about the insurance issue, and here are the responses i got:
“You should be able to apply for a gap exception
because there are no in network midwives or birth
centers. I have a client who just did this.
