“He always smiles like he’s got a secret,” Search’s teacher informed me.

I have a confession; my own secret behind the smile. My idea for the name of this blog was originally A Stream Triple Threat. You see, there were initially three. Continue reading
I do not like needles. At all. (Granted, I had to suck that one up right quick when we got into this whole infertility debacle.)
I do not like people stealing my blood. That’s right. I said stealing. My blood. MINE! Continue reading
I got the call this afternoon that the fever was back. 101.7.

In college I was polka dotted. I visited approximately 732 dermatologists to figure out what was wrong with me.
