Ongoings
We had our first Southern California infertility/miscarriage/prayer support group meeting about two weeks ago. Only a few couples showed up the actual event and so it turned really informal, which was probably good for ‘bonding’? A few others emailed/called to say that they were interested but had scheduling conflicts. We’re planning another one for early [...]

Heavy Heart
Yesterday I learned that my surgery buddy’s baby is in heaven now. Please pray for this new mother. The grief must be enormous. I have no more words. :( The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

This past week …
This past week has been a whirlwind of surprises and heartbreaks of my close friends and family that I can only sum it up by requesting your prayers for these events. All of them have me thinking of the special vulnerability of the woman (not that men aren’t, but through our biology we women feel [...]

Photographic evidence that this pregnancy is happening. Accidentally wearing the same the work clothes every time I take a picture, but I guess it makes for a nice time sequence!

Welcome to my blog!
I'm a recently graduated, relocated, and married Catholic NFP teacher. I started this blog as an outlet for my non-research related thoughts as I avoided finishing my thesis. Those thoughts have now all but been consumed by our sub-fertility as we struggle understanding all the whys and hows. (Oh yeah, and I annoyingly don't use the word infertility). Now that the thesis is defended and turned in, I'll try to write about other things that interest me, but chances are it will still be related to fertility.
