15 memories that I hold dear

There are certainly more!

  1. When I was an RA, my floor singing "Wagon Wheel"
  2. My grad school friend playing her ukulele and singing
  3. Feeling my friend's baby move while she was pregnant
  4. My friend's hair whipping in the wind as we rode in a top-down convertible
  5. Proudly telling an elderly neighbor that I was two (this is my oldest memory)
  6. My first al-anon meeting
  7. Reading my college friend's mind about what he was about to ask me (someone had whooped at the orientation play after someone on stage said Chicago and I knew he was going to ask if it was me)
  8. My friend clutching the doll I'd hidden in her closet and saying my name in an accusatory but playful manner
  9. Seeing whales in the wild for the first time
  10. My friend coming to stay with me in my dorm room when I was really sick
  11. Visiting Drombeg Stone Circle
  12. My first time meeting Hoban
  13. Riding on a gondola in Venice with a dear friend
  14. My first time seeing Velma
  15. Meeting alpacas for the first time

Starting my parental journey, part 9

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here ,  read part 6 here ,  read part 7 here , and read part 8 here . I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...
