I'm slightly melancholy lately and I'm trying not to be.  The weather isn't helping.  I'm one of those people who requires sunlight in my life in order to be happy, and Atlanta is usually a good place to live for that.  (Forks would be my personal version of hell, c...

Okay ladies... There are a lot of scary statistics out there about recurrent miscarriages. I've just had my second (first was in late June at 5 1/2 weeks, no u/s; this one was at 8 weeks, but baby looked to have stopped growing at 6 weeks). So I have a couple of questions: Have you had two or more m...

We still have a couple more rounds to go before my fertile cycle is over, and then we head off to Baltimore for a week. After that, I'll still h...

On Monday, June 23, 2008, Adam Giambrone, Chair of the TTC, and a duly elected Toronto Councillor, stated to a Toronto Star reporter that these things happen from time to time. What things, you ask? Streetcar collisions. Really? Until about 8 months ago, I don’t recall ever hearing about a str...

It's hard to know how to feel lately.  Actually, that's not quite true.  It's not really hard to know how to feel, because I tend to just let those feelings come and go as they need to be.  It's hard to know what to write.  I want to write about how I feel alm...

My doctor's office phone number has been going straight through to the answering service all day.  It was bad enough that I miscarried on the Sunday of a long weekend and couldn't call until today, but today they're not picking up and the answering service has no idea why not, sinc...

I can't even wrap my head around this one.  I think I just had a miscarriage.  I've been spotting all week, which isn't entirely odd for me since I was on week 7 of my 12-week of birth control pills.  I started spotting around week 6 when I was first on them, so I start...
