Biography:
our daughter, whom i call “nugget,” was conceived via ivf after a long, painful struggle with infertility.
now i’m a full-fledged attachment parenting, extended nursing, child-led weaning*, co-sleeping, green living, suburban dwelling, still infertile, stay-at-home mother of one.
*in may of 2008, i was diagnosed with hodgkin’s lymphoma. we had to stop nursing for chemotherapy (abvd). this is clearly not what i had in mind when i chose to practice child-led weaning.
i pumped through chemo and we were able to resume nursing after treatment. now i try to remember our nursing hiatus as just a bump in the road. a really, really huge, scary, awful bump that no one should ever have to endure.
sadly, my june 2009 scan shows the cancer is back. we have worked so hard to get to this point and now the rug’s being pulled out from under us once again. cancer sucks.
