Today is the day. My third IVF egg retrieval surgery!! It’s been a long time coming prepping for this day. It’s taken me a prep time of 2 months to get me to this day so that is very special. In the past I have shared longer posts…
![]() Moving into a new week I was looking through my hard drive and realize I still have quite a few warm weather looks to share with you before I go full fall sweater weather over here. It’s still been in the high 70’s here and…
![]() As you know, Lola is a huge part of our lives. Some people just have pets, but Lola is truly part of our family (along with our kitties!). We make room for her in our lives in so many ways. One of those ways is making her comfy and cozy…
![]() Forgive me for the overflow of warm weather looks. Still have some to post before we get into more Fall looks. It’s also helping me out I have some back stock in photos since I am feeling crazy bloated from all my medications. I have…
![]() I know we just celebrated the first day of Fall, but we are about to have a mini heat wave here at home. This look is a great transitional look into the cooler weather. I can go without a jacket for day time and throw on a blazer or…

eat.sleep.wear. - Thank you Charmaine. xoox Kim
Angie Clark - Thank you for sharing! As a newlywed I’ve only just begun focusing on natural fertility which in itself is a bit overwhelming, I can’t imagine what you’re going through. I’ve spent most of my life helping raise other people’s children for a living & growing up w/out a mom who left when I was a toddler, becoming a mother would be a dream come true. Thoughts & prayers your way lady love during this journey ♡♡ xo
eat.sleep.wear. - Thank you so much Angie. xoxo Kim
Sharon - Wow there is so much prep that goes into this day. I hope you are doing well and not feeling to bad. I am praying for you.

Roos Fakkel-Pesch - Dear daughter of mine.
I very much admire your determination, strenght and fearlessness.
Knowing that as a kid and even young adult, you were fearful whenever you needed an injection.
My hat is off to you Kim.
I hope with all of my heart that this time things will align just wright, so that you and Blake will have the family you are hoping for and are more than ready for.
XOXO your Mom❤️
eat.sleep.wear. - THANK YOU MAMA!!! LOVE YOU!!! xoxo Your Loving Daughter <3
Amy - Soooo glad you posted this! I am going to refer back to it and buy all the necessities! Hope you are recovering faster this time around. Sending good vibes…
eat.sleep.wear. - Thank you so so much. Glad I can help in any small way 🙂
Tanna Barker - I’m wishing you lots of luck. I’ve had friends go through this and I’ve seen first hand how emotionally and physically draining it all can be. I also hope hubby will have time to decompress as supporter as well.
On a TMI note, the first bowel movement after baby (c-section or vaginal delivery) is also brutal to traumatized areas. It’s almost more scary than having the baby!
eat.sleep.wear. - Thank you so so much!! I CAN ONLY IMAGE. Poop trauma ALL AROUND!!!

Thank you so much for sharing it all, it has given me an insight and some courage. (Crazy scared here!) Wishing you all the best! Sending you light, love and courage. Thank you, thank you!
eat.sleep.wear. - I am so glad I could help in any small way. I KNOW how scary it is looking into the face of the unknown. The treatment is intense and it’s all so much info thrown at you.

J. - I really admire your courage and openness thoughout your IVF experience. My SIL is currently going through the process and I was wondering what have been the most meaningful gestures, words, prayers, anything that someone has given you that have given you strength? I’m struggling with how best to support her during this difficult journey.
Praying for a sweet baby soon for you and Blake!
eat.sleep.wear. - If you can, please shoot me an email and I will be happy to send you some personal thoughts on the matter. Kimberly@www.eatsleepwear.us

Carey Bennett - My best friend shared your articles with me when I was struggling (and still am today). Yesterday was my 1st IVF embryo transfer. Out of 11 eggs, I had two embryos left. The one they transferred and one they were watching to freeze. Unfortunately, the 2nd didn’t make it. So, I cried all day today fearing that I will have to start the whole process (and the injections) over again. Which I will do again, even if my body is screaming no way! I’m trying not to get hopeful about my current embryo. This is a terrifying, nasty-emotional process. Your blog has made me feel less alone. Thank you!
P.S. The egg retrieval prep is spot on 🙂
eat.sleep.wear. - OH Carey, I know this pain all too well. Not part of IVF is easy that is for sure. Sending good vibes for your transfer and sending you lots of strength. No matter what, DONT GIVE UP!!! xoxo
Carey Bennett - P.S.S. CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!
