Call me Crazy

Sneaky little Monkey!

The getaway

My little turkey customized his pillow while I was on Crack book this afternoon chatting with a friend. SIGH. I saw the pen and did nothing. At least the pillow case was in dire need of a wash before the incident ever happened.

You can call me crazy, though. J and I have decided to attempt to get pregnant again. It's been a little over 3 years since our loss and we decided it's time for me to be brave. Nothing has happened yet--who knows what will happen now that I am 35? But I wanted to put it out there so that no one will be shocked or hurt if I announce a pregnancy in the next year or so.

I know how hard it can be to be blindsided with "happy news" when you have experienced infertility or loss. I hope to be as sensitive as possible for my readers who may be dealing with these issues.

We have an appointment in May with a perinatologist to discuss risks since our first baby had anencephaly--a terminal neural tube defect that occurs when the top of the spinal cord does not close and the top of the brain does not form. I am also taking 4-5mg of folic acid each day to help prevent this from happening again.

Wish us luck!
