So I started taking Estrogen yesterday. 2mg twice a day orally, next week continue that and add it vaginally. On our way.
My Pepe has been in the hospital since Sunday. Yesterday we found out he has stage 4 liver cancer. 3 months left to live. I’m waiting to hear more as the oncologist is visiting today. They of course won’t be doing any treatment. There’s nothing anyone can do. I am still in shock. I thought he just had a bad cold and some weird stomach stuff going on. He told me the other day “Katlyn I’m waiting for that baby!” and now I’m so sad my child/children will never meet him, and he, them. He’s seriously the best with kids. Of course he’s had a good life, he’ll be 88 in July, but man this sucks. My poor mother took care of my Meme as she died of cancer, and now Pepe, too. He JUST moved into a new addition they put on their house. I’m so sad. Fuck, man.
Here’s a photo of Pepe I took on our Canada vacation. (My Pepe is from Canada and my husband and I took him up there by car. We also decided on this very vacation to have kids)
Our Friggin' IVF Journey 
I’m so sorry to hear that… My husband and I have no living grandparents nor fathers (and our mothers are both psycho), so it’s a very different world to be in trying to start a family and not having those people around.
Got to say I’m glad I always did shots for estrogen and not pessaries. By the way I have an entire bottle of estradiol pills if you want them!

Ive got to find the time to write a post! She’s amazing (obviously) 😉. She refuses to nurse so we’ve been dealing with all these crazy methods of feeding her and it’s completely overwhelming and stressful. I felt completely prepared to care for a baby, but the breastfeeding thing I was not expecting. I know they say it’s hard, but I thought that was because it can hurt at first and the schedule of it and stuff like that. Not that she simply wouldn’t do it! I’ll get more into it in the post. But we’re obviously head over heels in love with her and the feeding is the only thing I’d change. Well, that and we would win the lottery so neither of us ever had to go back to work and leave her…

I hope the breast feeding thing works soon! That sounds frustrating, but the rest sounds amazing ❤ so happy for the two of you!
