After several failed titles for this post, I settled on something quite unimaginative. Last week, we went to see a developmental specialist regarding Lucas’ speech delay. It has been almost two months since our pediatrician told us that he was worried about Lucas’ lack of speech (to read all about that day, see this post) […]

Pride Month 2018
This year’s Pride marks my 10 year anniversary of coming out. Ten years ago, I never could have imagined my life as it is now. I didn’t know if I’d get married. Children seemed so out of my realm of possibilities. It’s rare that I really share some of these details, but I thought that […]

Insemination Day!
Today, we went to Seattle Reproductive Medicine for my very first IUI. Naturally, I woke up unnecessarily early and tried to call before any staff was in. Dayna had the morning off to be with me, so we hopped in the car and headed to Whole Foods for coffee and a distraction. From there I […]
