White Noise

Ok, guys. I am going to hit you with some real life today. Because, real life is hard all by itself. When you roll together all of the circumstances of YOUR real life and those situations and try to deal with them all at once, you may have hours, days or weeks like I am …

DC 2.2… and 3.0

So, first, apologies. It's been a chaotic few days that have literally felt like years. I'm sorry I didn't update immediately, I really felt like I needed a full reboot to recover from this trip but, alas, I was not afforded that opportunity. Anyway, let me debrief the rest of the DC trip.   2.2 …

DC Day 2.1

You read that right. 2.1. There will be a 2.2, too. It's been a long day and it's only halfway over, but I know TIm and everyone else wants an update about how orientation went. Because this whole process is long and complicated, I thought that lumping together our business and leisure from today would …

DC Day One

Ok, forewarning, this post will be picture OVERLOAD! We have had such a good time galavanting around the Capitol. The 10+ miles we have walked today sure has made me feel better about the outrageous amount of calories I have taken on today. I haven't completely fallen off my IVF diet wagon, but I have …

#OperationMilliKid

Quick update 🙂 As I am waiting in the parking lot to get started shooting a wedding tonight, I thought it would be a good time to unload some thoughts with only FIFTEEN hours before i board my flight to DC!! Man, I really take for granted how much easier getting things done is with …

The end of the beginning

Marathon of Inches

Hurry up and wait. It has been my IVF motto from day one. It's sort of ironic how the paths of IVF and deployment can coincide so closely sometimes. Hurry. Up. And.... wait. Hurry up! We need all of your paper work NOW! Quickly! Book your flights yesterday! But, we will make sure to make …

Officially official

If you haven't read my previous postings, it may be a good time to do that. They are what I like to call "the prologue". They were written one and two years ago. The first when we first realized we were going to have issues getting pregnant and the second when we received the hard …

Welcome!

Welcome to Pee on the Sticks! I am writing this blog for many reasons, mainly to document this infertility (<--- hate that word) journey (<--- don't really like that one either) with the added wrench of deployment so I can honestly share it with my husband across the globe, my family that will be far …

OUR BACKSTORY

Hi there! Let me tell you a little about me and where I am in my <seemingly> unending quest for progeny! My name is Katie. I am a jack of many trades, but I'll tell you what I do in a list of favorite to least favorite. First, I own a photography and graphic design …
