I haven’t really had time to post lately, and nothing too exciting has been happening until the past couple days.
For the most part, no weird symptoms, and if I have them they’re not very long-term. Some congestion, including clogged ears and extra snoring at night; greatly increased appetite; a little bit of dragginess coming back [...]

Embarrassed a pharmacist

So yesterday was my first visit to the urologist. I went to see if there was anything to be done about my frequent UTIs and general state of discomfort. It’s only going to get worse if I get pregnant, so now is the time to try and deal with it.
He got a sense of my [...]
Troubling thoughts
Posted in Parenting, Polyfidelity, polyamory, pregnancy, tagged Parenting, polyamory, Polyfidelity, pregnancy, UTIs on February 8, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’ve been having a lot of UTIs lately–a LOT. Even when I don’t have them, I don’t feel quite right. I take all the precautions recommended by everyone from alternative medicine practitioners to nurses (and the advice is pretty consistent throughout). Short of completely abstaining from sex (shudder), I’ve done everything I can to avoid [...]
The “hardcore atheist” test

Well, I guess I’m just a baby atheist, based on this test (see results below; my “yesses” are bold, the rest are “nos”). Or rather, a nonobservant atheist. I’ve been reading a lot of blogs tagged “atheism” since I started this blog, and that pulls up blogs on both sides. I didn’t realize there’d be [...]
Nausea, labor, breast-feeding, parenting and other terrifying prospects

AS and I were talking about our upcoming plans for a baby. It’s almost ludicrous the number of scary, painful-sounding and puzzling aspects there are to parenthood. We were kind of laughing about it all. I was telling her that I feel very positive and am almost looking forward to the nausea, because I know [...]
How much do I need to save?

As someone who is dedicated to reducing debt, and preventing any new debt from happening, money is top of mind for me when I think about having a baby. It’s one of the reasons I haven’t just thrown my birth-control pills away and started trying this minute.
My family, having three full incomes, has been able [...]
Beginning

Welcome to my new blog. I’m CJ, I’m 34, and I’ve decided I want to have a baby. The more I think about it, however, the more overwhelmed I get. I thought a blog would help me keep track of my thoughts and progress, gain feedback and insight from others, and more or less stop [...]
