In this category you’ll find everything that doesn’t belong in another category 😉 Everything about my life as a mom of Liv, wife of Denny and all the brain waves I have. If I have time 🙂
Sushi For the first time since our ‘I-want-a-baby-with-you’ conversation, I’m sad that my period has come. I know we haven’t been trying for long, but still… the IUI is hanging over my head. It’s September now, and I think that’s …
Aunt After that we try the 10-day rule. Do you know this? From the last day of your period you have sex every second day, for 10 days. I know enough women for whom it worked. But I also know …
Flip the switch After the fight, it’s like we flip a switch. We decide to spend the next two cycles doing our very ‘best’ to get pregnant. Last week, during a photo shoot, a mom (who gets pregnant easily) told …
The day after When I wake up, he’s not next to me. I don’t know if he’s already gotten out of bed, or whether he never came to bed. I look like a frog, with my swollen eyes. I’m not …

Seriously trying We leave the hospital with mixed feelings. We’ve decided that we’ll first try to fall pregnant naturally and if it doesn’t happen we’ll contact the hospital again in September. We’ve been given all the information about IUI, so …
No chance? This meeting is going totally differently to how I expected. Do we radiate some kind of ‘we want to start fertility treatment NOW’ aura? I don’t want that at all! I want a baby, but not at any …
The meeting with the doctor I try to quiz Denny about what “the wank room” (haha!) looks like, but since we’re not sitting here alone, he won’t say a word. He just keeps giving me those ‘shut up!’ looks. 🙂 …
To the hospital After they have left I talk to Denny and he agrees that a visit to the doctor is a good idea. We don’t have to start fertility treatments immediately, but it would be nice to know whether …
Antibodies Yesterday I had an introductory meeting with a couple for birth photography. The woman was pregnant with her third child and told me that this child was very strongly desired. She and her husband already had 2 children and …
Imagining I don’t know how it is with other couples, that moment that you decide to go for it. How was it for you? My imagination takes flight; what will she (yes, I imagine in the feminine form 😉 ) …
