A journey through my life. Currently defined by motherhood after pregnancy after issues with fertility. Also subject to my overwhelming conviction that people are stupid. But not you.
About Me
- Mrs. Higrens
- Central Virginia, United States
- I'm a native Virginian. I'm proud to say that. Suffice it to say that members of my family have been in Virginia for a really long time. I'm married (10+ years) to a wonderful husband, known on this site as DH. Little One is a much longed for addition who joined us in July 2010. Higrens & Co. also includes 2 cats, and a dog. You can also find me on Twitter as Kiribitz. And hey, if you know me IRL, the stuff on here is not for sharing, thanks!

What is Copperosity?
Copperosity is a word my paternal grandmother used. Maybe she made it up, I don't know the provenance, I do know I've never heard anyone else use it.
Substitute it for curiosity, needs, desires, wants, etc.
I'd love for you to have fun with it. Let me know if/when you use it. And if it was successful (or not).
yea for baby smiles! :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic. Good to know the little one has started beaming. Those smiles of recognition first thing in the morning melt the heart!
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs. Higrens...Jenn kindly referred me to your blog as I am going through what you went through in December 2009 - a Thanksgiving cycle (mine being Canadian), lots of stimming, an 18 mm follicle, and then converted just today. I want to congratulate you on your beautiful baby girl who is full of smiles and tell you how much your story has inspired me - thank you for your blog!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Maddy
Yay, so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteSmiles melt your heart, don't they? ;-)
