Mom Log – Part 7: Three Tiny Words

I love you... Soon! I could not get myself to say those three tiny words just yet... I would walk around the house, with this new baby in my arms and I would say "I love you!!! ARGH... SOON!!! I can't lie... I don't love you yet, but I promise that I will love you...

Mom Log – Part 6: Thank you John Wayne!

It’s been quite the last few years! I’ve wanted kids for so long. I’ve been pricked and prodded both physically and emotionally through those years of trying to get pregnant and then, unraveled every layer of my life to be approved as a foster parent. Finally I am a parent and I am loving it!...

Mom Log – Part 5: A “mom” feeling?

Is there a feeling that comes with being a mom? Biological mom, foster mom, step-mom, adoptive mom... hell even fur-mom! Do we all FEEL the same?

Mom Log – Part 4: Court Day!

As our court date got closer - and we saw all the work, red tape and careful treading that had to happen behind the scenes - we truly felt the weight of our choice to foster. Some days are easy. Some not.

Mom Log: Part 3 – Six months!

I was so not ready for it, yet, I have survived the six month mark! I can hear many of you say "what do you mean "not ready"? You had been trying to get pregnant for years". Yes. That is true! However, ready to potentially get pregnant and then become a mom AND ready to...

Next week, I turn 43…  Only a few days and I will be the age my boyfriend’s mothers was when she passed away… she died so young, but so accomplished as a mom. She was 43 and Alex was 18. Her children were young adults, but I am sure she felt like she did not...

Mom log: Part 1 – An Adventure Begins!

It’s been quite the ride already and the adventure has just started… what a week “week one” has been! I was told that one is never truly prepared to be a parent, but for most, you would have had nine months and then so many more to prepare for what we’ve just experience in our...

Let’s Make A Baby: Part 27 – A shinny new title!

A shinny new title will be needed for this blog. As you may have already read in my last post, I’ve turned a page. I had a major decision to make. It had been more than a year since my 2019 embryo transfer and I was now eligible to apply to the Banques Mixtes du...

Let’s Make a Baby: Part 26 – Let’s make a baby… Or not…

Let’s talk about it... or not. Let’s cry about it... or not. « Or not » - two simple little words, yet such a powerful decision.

Let’s Make a Baby: Part 25 – Fertility CAA

Is there a fertility CAA? A place that could fix it all? Because I definitely need a membership... Contrarily to my habitual silver lining posts, this one is definitely a rant. After three years of trying, I broke last night. I am just so tired of trying to be hopeful. It's in my nature though,...
