Amy just called me from the doctor’s office for her latest ultrasound appointment. Looks like we’re not quite “there” yet and the doctor is saying it will probably be two more days of meds and monitoring.
Since she was in stirrups she didn’t take very good notes on how the follicles were coming, but she did [...]
I’m not sure how to properly encapsulate the feelings I had as we waited for Sunday to roll around. We had talked ourselved into believing the worst based upon very little information and we were well prepared for that.
“Scrubbed!” was the working title of the inevitable post I would have to write once we were [...]
A couple of years back, Amy and I went white water rafting on the south fork of the American River:
I’ve never really been much of an adrenaline junky…I didn’t like roller coasters when I was a kid or wanted to race motocross. I never wanted to wrestle a crocodile or hang glide.

Today was Amy’s first ultrasound after the baseline one done last week. She had to get up at 5 something (I was still sleeping) to get out of the house by 6:15 am to make the 6:30 am ferry into San Francisco. From there she had to take a bus from the wharf across town to get [...]

As 40 came and went I thought it was a good time to take [...]
We just got back from seeing my Grandparents in Oklahoma, barely getting out of town before tornadoes touched down just north of their house. My grandfather is the only surviving blood relative I have on my Father’s side of the family and I hadn’t seen them in almost 18 years before the weekend in Yukon, Oklahoma. [...]
By popular demand I have chosen to keep the name of this blog as Brevet. I think that most people don’t know what it means anyway, making it semi-unique and a little foreign-sounding, making me seem a little bit cosmopolitan.
