Chasing Joy

Trying to Lose Weight While Trying to Conceive With Nutrisystem

|

Happy Friday!  Friday means it's time for a baby making update.  Well, there really is not much to report this week.  Last week you saw me get IUI #3. It got off to a bumpy start and then the donor's sperm count was low.  SMH. Rather than bore you with all of my crazy thoughts during the two week wait from the time I got the IUI until I find out the results, I will share with you something else that I am doing to prepare myself for pregnancy. A few weeks ago I joined Nutrisystem.  This was … READ MORE

Need A Break? Take One! I did.

Hey Joy Chasers.  Question: when was the last time you took a break? Don't you need a break? Work is hard. School is hard. Blogging is hard. Motherhood is hard. Trying to concieve is hard.

For Me, She Left Pray

|

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about how I am making room for baby literally.  I am moving out of my bedroom into another room so that I can use my current bedroom for a nursery.  My furniture will be delivered today so I am almost done redecorating my new bedroom.  Yesterday I put up a few accessories including the word PRAY.   I felt so good to finally have found a home for this word.  I posted on Instagram and Facebook exactly why I was pleased to have found a home for … READ MORE
