| Confusion and anger |
I hate my chart. OPK's say I had my LH surge yesterday (CD14)...but my chart thinks that I O'd CD12. WTF. This has me really annoyed. I guess I will just have to wait it out, and possibly wait to see how the next cycle compares. Booooo. Oh ya, and I had EWCM yesterday too...this makes me think my chart is definitely the one who is effed up here. I mean really? O'ing on CD12? Meh. |

| I joined the club |
The Fertility Friend charting club, that is. So far so good. I missed a few temps, but overall I think I am finally on track. I wake up at 5:30am, temp, and go back to sleep for about another 1/2 hour. I have been using one of those super simple digital thermoms which I assume it is accurate(?) even though it has been chillin in the medicine cabinet for as long as I can remember. I believe it was DH's that he stole from his mom's house. Perfect. So if you would like to see my chart, the little grassy link has been perma posted at the very bottom of this page. Have fun kids! If you notice, as of today, it appears that I am dying. My temp has been taking a nose dive since CD6. This morning I woke up to 96 degrees flat. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr. Oh well, hopefully this will make for a very dramatic spike in the next few days! ::crosses chilly fingers and toes:: |

| Its been for-ev-er since I have posted anything...so here is a quick update! I have been off work for the last week because of the "presidents week" vacation that my school district needlessly observes. Booo. No work=no moolah. But it has been very relaxing; sleep in till 11:30, drink coffee in my P.J's, watch J&K+8...you know, the good stuff. I am definitely ready to go back to work though. I hate feeling useless, and I know that DH gets pissy when I'm out of work. So this week its back to the grind, and back to blogging! Keep your peepers peeled for lots of new and exciting blogs this week! (I bet you are peeing your pants in anticipation) |

| death by cramps |
Ok, so whenever a student is late to class I'm usually very understanding (I have a bit of a punctuality issue myself), but I do expect that "said student" be quiet and respectful as they enter the room. Well apparently Aunt flow did not get my memo on tardiness! She decided to bust in late, spot for a few hours (freaking me out completly), and then throw a rather excessive bitch fit in my ute. I sit here, with my top button undone, in complete and utter agony. Don't get me wrong...I'm glad she finally made it, but does she have to be such a bitch? |

| Aunt Flo.....? |
| Hello? Is that you? Ummmm.....you are late. You are NEVER late....and I'm getting a little nervous. I received the constipation and irritability that you sent...but have yet to see your lovely red face at my door step. Hope to see you soon. |

| Big Day |
So I decided that today is the day that I will start "officially" preparing for our future fetus. Last night I took my first prenatal vitamin, and this morning I recorded my first temp (97.1 @ 5:30am)I figured that since today is CD1 (well CD28 until Aunt Flo arrives), that this was the perfect time::takes deep breath::. I plan on using the next 3 cycles to figure out exactly when I "O", loose a few pounds of belly fat, and wean myself off of my daily dose of caffeine. Sounds easy.... |

| Finally |
My mother finally shook the "cat" out of the efffing bag! And I am no longer in "inner limbo" about our TTC plans for May. Yes, it still freaks me out, but not in the same way. I feel as if the all of the stars in the universe finally lined up in my favor...here is what happened
I was enjoying a few glasses of wine with the whole fam at big sis's house over the weekend.
Mom decides to blurt out (for the second time in the last 3 mos.) "so when are you guys
planning on having a baby?"
I vurp up a little vino, and stare at my lap for the longest 2 seconds of my life.
I answer "In May"
The room grows silent
Mom asks "is there any particular reason you picked May...is it a girl month?" NOTE: my
fam firmly believes in the Chinese Gender Chart.
I reply (rather calmly) "yes it is, and we also wanted to wait until after the cruise"
After this, a convo begins about when, where, and how every member of the family was conceived. As if this was not enough, my mother holds up her thumb and index and demonstrates how the EWCM should stretch between your fingers. I am amazed that she knows about this! Where the hell has this "version" of my mother been for the last 6 mos?
So in conclusion, a giant weight has been lifted from my shoulders. My mother has acknowledged the fact that "her baby" is going to have a baby. |

| 90 days! |
Oh ya, and I stopped at Borders last night (on the way home from a Super Bowl party) and picked up this book. I figured it was perfect since we have exactly 90 days before we toss the latex! |

| 3 months |
| until we stop "preventing". Or start "trying". I don't know, the whole thing is still really confusing to me right now. On Saturday I asked DH if he was nervous about TTC...he just shrugged his shoulders and said "no, why would I be?" I wish I was as sure about all of this as he was. I am thankful for his confidence though....I don't know if I could get through it without his solid support. Thanks hun :) |
