Healthy, Hungry Baby

On June 14, 2011, I delivered a healthy baby via c-section. The past 5 weeks have flown by, largely because the baby is hungry every 2 or 3 hours and this means we are all sleep-deprived.

I am so grateful for all the doctors (and therapists!) who have helped me get to motherhood. This includes all of my friends and readers who have acted as supplemental therapists over the years.

I may post again soon, and I apologize in advance for the probable incoherence of all future, sleep-deprived communications.

The Big Box of Needles and Drugs

The Big Box of Needles and Drugs arrived today. I cleared out a drawer in the refrigerator so the drugs would not get mixed up with the arugula and the milk.
Here is what is in the box:
Follistim
HCG
Repronex
About a million needles and syringes
Packages of individually wrapped alcohol swabs.
One container of very large capsules of antibiotics.
One container for disposing of needles and syringes.

I called American Express to confirm that they had accepted the charges for the doctor (nearly $9,000) and the latest shipment of medications (over $3000).

I do not want to swallow those pills. I do not want to give myself those injections. The puppy, barometer of my emotions, has retreated to his crate.
But, for the chance of having a baby before I am 38 years old, I will do it. I am committed.
