A First Date. And a lot of other firsts.
So, I'm seeing this guy. We met two nights ago for dinner and a movie, and I think he digs me. I got dolled up and we shared a bottle of wine (which nearly put me under the table) and caught a film...

Four Months
I can't quite believe that I last posted nearly a month ago. Time is very fluid in the land of naptimes and diaper changes. Work on my project (and contact with the outside world) has been delayed...

The Two Selves
As I wrote before, Mr. Delinquent and I have seen no reason to take counter-pregnancy measures. The very idea is laughable, in fact. When I went for my post-natal appointment, the midwife who saw me...

Nearing the Half-Year Mark
I blink and days fly by. It's such a strange unstuck-from-time feeling. But I've started doing some work for school again and I return to my project soon (after a few false starts), and so I'm slowly...

This and That
There is much afoot in Delinquentland, which is why my online presence has been a little thin. We are hoping to move towards the end of summer and every spare moment has gone to researching houses in...

Blighty
Greetings from soggy Great Britain, where the sun has shone for approximately ten minutes since our arrival and I am feeling very smug about packing winter boots. The trip over went smoothly as Oliver...

Back (and a request to think good thoughts) - updated in comments section!
At last. It was a good trip but home never felt so sweet. O did pretty well on our return flight but by the time we walked in the door we were all ready to drop. And now that we're back it's hard work...

Sad News

Where We Stand
We recently returned from a trip to the DC area, where we spent a few days without electricity thanks to the storm. I'm not a fan of extremely air-conditioned spaces (there's nothing quite as deadly as...

Where Did I Put My Head?
There is a lot going on at the moment and my relative calm in the face of it has surprised me. (Quite possibly Mr. D would have a different take on the situation...though I'll resist the temptation of...

Feeling My Age
My ambivalence about turning 40 came to a grinding halt at approximately 11 am on Monday morning. That is the moment when - coming out of anesthesia - I was told that they'd only managed to retrieve...

Transferred
Our three embryos were still in the running today - a 7-cell and two 6-cells. They were all graded as "2" and my lining was sitting pretty at 11+. Dr. C said that he was very pleased with how...

Yes. NO. Maybe.
We moved yesterday. The new place is great and we're unpacking boxes (and going to buy a car later). Wonder Dog and O seem to love their new pad. Lots to do.In terms of my cycle: it's been a weird one....

So. Yes.
First beta: 39 (9dp3dt)Second beta: 97 (11dp3dt)The results came in together. I almost lost my shit this morning because there was a paperwork fuckup, but blood was drawn in the end. And very nearly...

Beta did not double
My beta today was 179. The nurse kept going on about the number passing the 66% threshold. But the fact is that it did not double in 48 hours. This leaves me feeling less than great. I have an...

Para: 1, Gravida: 6 (UPDATED)
My friends, I am calling it here. No gestational sac at today's sonogram. Today is 5 weeks. The peesticks are still positive. And while they've darkened, they haven't darkened at the rate of other...

Silence
Sorry for the dramatic pause of the past few weeks. It's been a hard slog with Mr. D away from Monday to Thursday, reviving my teaching self (she's a little rusty), trying to sort out a babysitter for...

One
My sweet Oliver turns one tomorrow. He is sunny and healthy and loves to run (which he does with heart-stopping velocity). I feel (still) that we slipped through while someone was asleep on guard duty...

It Seems To Me I've Heard That Tune Before. (Seven.)
I've been inundated lately. Or, at least a few inches underwater (and hoping very much that we won't literally be underwater as Hurricane Sandy heads towards us). Oliver was under the weather after his...

Strange Days
First, I had no idea my words about Hurricane Sandy were going to be prophetic. We live in a place which was supposed to be badly hit but wasn't, and it took us awhile to make sure all our friends in...
