Pendulum Out

You know that pendulum I was talking about? How it swings out or swings in?

Right now it is out in happy land. I hope like hell its stays there for a good long while.

There is a positive pregnancy test in my house. From MY pee. At 11 days past ovulation (8 days past a 3 day transfer). I am hoping like hell this one decides to stay around. We all know that lots of shit can happen, but, unlike last time I am making the choice to be elated from the get go. Fuck angst and nerves. Nothing is in my control right now except how I process this fucking awesome step. The choice is mine: submit to the hallway of doom and bad memories or run for the hills to twirl and sing.

I’m twirling.

    holy shit!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love how the IVF/FET thing seems to go so fast as it hadn’t occured to me that it was even close enough for you to test yet. I’m so excited and I’d go for the twirling too!!

  2. KatNo Gravatar on July 22nd, 2008 7:53 pm

    YIPPEE! I agree with enjoying it to the fullest!

    I think you need a analogy than a pendulum though — how about a rocketship going up and up and doesn’t look back and it keeps on going until it lands on Planet Mommy?

    YEYY!!! What could be more happy than visiting a blog for the first time, only to revisit it the same day only to find the best of news. Now I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you

I will not send out sticky vibes (ugh), but rather, I will implore the summer iota(s) to please hang around & make him/herself comfortable. Pull up a chair, little iota(s), & start, you know, growing some fingernails & the like.

    i wish you could have heard the Very Audible GASP that escaped my mouth as i scrolled down from the title and the “+” came into my view… i am grateful that no one was walking by the lab, as they would have surely been compelled to investigate and well… “my internet friend is pregnant…” isnt exactly the kind of things i share with the work peeps.

    i am going to join in the twirling…
    much love to you…..

    There are ten lates up there. One for each of the minimum number of months you will also be “late.” This one MUST stick!

    I’m crying tears of joy for you, on the floor in my closet because this is where I come to write late at night when Frank is already asleep. I’ll have good dreams tonight, for sure!

    Fabuloso news!
