But You Have a Beautiful Uterus…

Thank you so much for your well wishes! Please keep wishing a little longer - transfer is delayed just a few more days.

Being Pregnant = Being Incapable of Packing a Bag???

As much as I long to be a mother, there are some moments that give me pause. I wrote about one of those moments here.

So, Do I Need to Ditch the Soy?

Not a big fan of tofu so that’s no big deal, but in this non-milk drinking household, my organic vanilla soy milk is my morning delight. The yum in my cereal. The smooth in my smoothies. Could I live without it? Sure. But I’d rather not.

That’s my homework assignment.  Given to me by my acupuncturist last week.
