Leigh and Pee Follies

by Gail September 11, 2008

Just so it’s not all doom-and-gloom, I thought I’d make a post about our two-year-old daughter Leigh (plus we’re still waiting on those pee sticks). Leigh is as cute and aggravating as any toddler, and these days she’s talking about everything. Our favorite Leigh-ism is “whobody,” as in “Whobody outside, Ima?” or “Whobody in a [...]

Can We Get Our Sanity Back?

by Gail September 9, 2008

Lyn isn’t kidding when she says she’s a pessimist. I like to think of her as an “extreme pessimist.” Throw any situation at her and she can tell you how it is going to go horribly wrong. Leading up to our wedding, we used to play a game called “Everything is Wrecked.” To play, your [...]

[NB: I wrote this post about a month ago. We weren't pregnant and since then we've had a break for a cycle and we're about to head back into the fray again in two weeks or so.] Well, we are at the end of another two week wait with a negative pregnancy test this morning [...]

The Summary

by Lyn August 26, 2008

We are a lesbian couple, Gail and Lyn, parenting our two-year-old daughter, Leigh. We are also trying to grow our family by one. Gail gave birth to Leigh in 6/06. Leigh was conceived on the second try, at home, with frozen, so I’m afraid we may owe the universe back for how easy it was [...]
