I am a bit annoyed by how it arrived, or really I should say when. You see Captain Von Trapp and his seamen were not scheduled to arrive at this port until tomorrow morning. So imagine my surprise when Charlie and I went out to get the mail around 2pm and there, sitting at the [...]
Operation “Get me my tartan boots!” is in the works. I will keep you all posted whether you want updates or not. This is seriously the coolest thing. I will try to dig up some old photos of me in my original tartan docs. I wore them EVERYWHERE. I even wore them to my high [...]
I tested this morning. So instead of saying it was negative I will say that it did not yet indicate a positive. I’m a bit early on the testing at just ten days past ovulation. But I did one of those dumb early morning negotiations: If my temperature was above 98.4 then I would test. [...]
Ok all you cowgirls, cowboys & cowgrrrls- it is 7 days since I (hopefully) got knocked up. I have been sorta kinda not so crazily obsessed this go. The best thing was tossing my thermometer as the last thing I want to do is start my day with an “oh shit! My temperature is down!” [...]
As we all know the next two weeks here at Erstellen are going to be an insane roller coaster of emotions, hormones and heat indexes. I have decided to compile a very random list of things that I am going to savor for the next (hopefully) 13 days. I bitch & moan about a lot [...]
In a little over 5 hours I will be getting knocked up. (how’s that for positive thinking?) However, the amount of current discomfort I am in is insane. I’ve bitched about bloating before, but in comparison I was being a wimp. Now, today, right this very minute, I have the biggest most bloated gut ever. [...]
That obsessive listening for something, anything that will reveal the answer to a question. THE question. You know, the, “am I knocked up or what?” question. I’m trying to distract myself. I baked a fabulous loaf of banana bread. I created a photo book for Mom to take on her trip. I burned a road [...]
Yesterday, as I helped my Mother pack, she asked me how I was feeling. It took me a minute (literally, a full minute) to understand what she was asking. We’ve been so caught up with her move and related family drama that I hadn’t spent an enormous amount of time vocalizing a minute by minute [...]
The above photo was an attempt to take an arty farty picture of my dark eye shadows. They are naturally dark, but this look had some help from some left over eye makeup. So goth. The deed is done. My 11th IUI. Now all I need to do is sit back, relax, and get knocked [...]
