A Triploidy Pregnancy: Incompatible With Life.
We received the genetics report back from my doctor yesterday. I had been anticipating yesterday’s phone call since my D&C took place a month ago.

We’re away for the week, trying to get our heads in a better place. My brother and his girlfriend are staying at our place in Brooklyn so they have been tasked with taking care of our fatties. The road to feeling normal again is proving to be a slow and rather hilly one. I go…

Mom It Down! Cinnamon Buns
I’ve been making a variation of these for years and they are spectacular. They’re a little bit more time-consuming than what I usually write about, but well worth the time involved in my opinion. I’ll give a few pointers for making the recipe easier as I’ve learned to cut a few corners. Cinnamon Buns 1-1/2…
