I didn't test this morning. My temp was only 97.4. I took it again just in case, nope, still too low. I haven't seen AF yet. I know it's not over until the fat lady sings, but I'm pretty sure I've got front row tickets to her next performance. Sigh...
I guess we'll see what next month has to bring. I'm not sure what the strategy is. I'm really not in the mood right now. Oh well, I guess I better go to work. Life goes on, right?

The day-to-day life of a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, student, and cancer survivor. This is the journey through my life.
About Me
- Jennifer
- My name is Jennifer. I became a daughter 29 years ago and a wife 7 years ago. In June 2003, Eric and I decided that we would like to become parents. Shortly thereafter, we were pregnant. Eight weeks later, I began this blog to help my family and friends keep up with my pregnancy. Unfortunately, that pregnancy was only with me for two more weeks before I was diagnosed with a "missed miscarriage." In November 2003 we decided to try again. We were eventually successful. Grace was born December 12, 2004 and I became a mother. September 23, 2005 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and decided this blog was a good place to write about that fight too. Sitting here three years later, I can call myself a survivor. After 2 years of being cancer free we were blessed with another pregnancy. Our son Luke was born on May 7, 2008 and I again became a mother. I hope others enjoy reading, but this blog is for me. I never know what I will become next, but I know it will be a journey. And whatever I become, I will wear it like a badge of honor.
