Thanks to Pirate Papa for the link to the Pregnancy Today article, citing the slow, painful breakdown of the vice grip that western medicine has had on our lives.
When we started the whole fertility treatment thing, we started at the western end, while dabbling on the eastern end.
It turns out that advice given by the naturopath (check progesterone levels and treat with suppositories) may have been the key, but our regular doctor and the fertility doctor didn't think it was important. When she came back with very low progesterone, and started treating it, we got pregnant that month, after a year of trying. Hmmm.

Really, though, the TSA is doing fine...
On its website, the TSA posts extensive tips for travelers, including a section titled "Traveling With Children."
One item reads: "Never leave babies in an infant carrier while it goes through the X-ray machine."

Kids see too many anti-impotence ads
It's nice to see the American Academy of Pediatrics taking somewhat of a stand on something as fundamental as media literacy. Now lets see if they have the stones to stand up to the American Taliban, who are going to say that an ad for birth control is an ad for pedophilic, pre-30s, abortion-causing sex.

Judging by this article, our chances of another miscarriage are lessening all the time.
The dear wife is greeting every morning with a round of retching, even at ~15 weeks. Last night she took Unisom for the first time, slept better than she had in a week, and didn't puke on waking up.
I'm going shopping for more chocolate today, hoping that that makes her feel well enough for the other listed activities.
In a finding that should come as comfort to pregnant women who can barely manage a cracker without being sick, new research shows morning sickness lowers the risk of miscarriage by almost 70 per cent.
The worse the nausea, the better, according to a study published today in the International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
