Frozen cousins
Just heard from my brother today (he also has cf and has the most amazing twins through IVF that are 2 and 1/2). Anyways, when they went through their IVF cycle a few years ago, they ended up with three viable embryos, implanted two (that become Charlotte and Isaac), and had one left over. They've decided to try to get pregnant with the third and ( Read more... ) -
Acupuncture
So yesterday I went an did acupuncture. What an amazingly positive experience. I drove across town to go and see this lady that comes highly recommended and that specializes in women's health and infertility. It was such a positive experience.

Some ramblings
Since I haven't been on here for awhile, I need to somehow recap what I've been up to and what's going on in my life. I've actually had a lot to write about but have not made the time.

Hormones are weird

mucus day
I stayed home from work again today. I was feeling a bit better from my cold, but just super mucusy... I feel mildly guilty, but it's been a great day and I'm really glad I stayed home. I've done double the meds, tons of flutter, exercised on the elliptical here at home, and have coughed up an unreal amount of mucus. I've also had time to wrap some ( Read more... ) -
Ick.
Woke up super sick today. Ick. I cough-puked for the first time in awhile. Logic would have told me to stay home, but I was at a conference today and couldn't pass it up!! It was the annual free conference put on by shoppers home health. And it is pretty rad. Free swag bag with a kick ass water bottle and other sweet gear! And a wicked lunch. Did I ( Read more... )
