This is my place to share my journey to becoming a mother and anything else that is going on in my life. Welcome!!

ABOUT ME

My photo
Age 33. Single, Native American hot chick (hence the blog title). I am a left wing, liberal, treehugging Democrat. I have made the choice to become a single mother and am doing so as a foster parent. I will go head on to put the most at risk children first. This is my place to share my journey. I hold nothing back, whether it be joy or heartbreak.

Long time no post

wow that was a looong break from posting. Here's an update in particular order
1) Foster Parenting- still waiting on the homestudy, paperwork is done and classes are complete. The nursery is done and the most gorgeous shades of yellow and green ever! I am getting exited and so ready to be a mom. I also did some renovations on the rest of the house and now am scrutinizing EVERYTHING. I should be a foster mom by my B-day in July.
2) Health- I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. It hurts all the damn time every damn where but I am taking good medication and am learning to deal with things and take care of myself first. It probably stems from my back injury a few years ago but there is no way of knowing. The bad things is the meds (lyrica) have made me gain weight so I am fighting that off as well.
3) TTC- I will be starting up again in August for sure, I need time to adjust to fostering and get my body strong again.
Let me just congratulate all the folks who are seeing their dreams come true and getting their postive EPT's and babies. For the rest of us, let's just keep trying......together.

I'm so sorry about your fibromyalgia. I know a few people with it and I know it really sucks. :(

Good luck with the fostering! Keep us posted!!

I am trying to catch up on blogs of the people I used to follow when I was trying to conceive.

My long time ex (well, the ex part is short, but the time together was long) has fibromyalgia and was diagnosed 8 years ago. If you ever have questions or even rants, feel free to stop by my blog.
