Another funny IF'er

You've got to check out this funny story on The Science Fair Project's blog. It's not about IF, but it's pretty good.

Don't worry

I remember when we first started TTC and one month had passed and no PG. I told my SIL we were TTC and she said, "Don't worry, it took 2 months for me." Ok, that's good. Another month passed and no PG. So I talked to my friend and told her we were TTC and she said, "Don't worry, it took 4 months for me." Ok, I can handle that. Another 2 months passed and still no PG. So I talked to my cousin and told her we were TTC and she said, "Don't worry, it took 6 months for me." Well... you get the point. Six months have passed 4 times already. Maybe someday I'll be handing out the advice, "Don't worry, it took 25 months for me."

My November AF Plan

I have a plan. It's to help me feel better if AF arrives this month. I'm going to paint our bathroom (can't paint if I'm pregnant) and plan a ski weekend for our anniversary in January (can't ski if I'm too pregnant). So 2 things to look forward to. It's a win-win... I'm either pregnant -- HUGE WIN -- or I get to paint and ski -- little win.

Gotta do something to keep my mind from going nuts, right?

Not laughing, just annoyed

This isn't a funny post - I'm just annoyed. I just watched Brothers & Sisters and at the end Rebecca is left speechless holding a positive pregnancy test. She's clearly disturbed and upset and thinking, oh this is the worst thing that could happen to me. While I realize that pregnancy is not ideal in all situations, it just makes me mad. Ugh!

Sorry, I just had to vent. Grrr.

Ha!

Recently I was at a dinner for cancer survivors (not that I'm one of them, I just work with them) and there was a fabulous speaker who was a survivor herself. She was really witty and charming. Anyway, she told us to look right at the blank screen she had been using for her presentation and picture a word that represents our deepest struggle right now. Right away I pictured INFERTILITY in huge letters on the screen. Then she said to look right at that word and say "Ha!" really loud. So we all did it together. Believe it or not, it felt really good... like some repressed anger had been released in that moment. You should try it.

Hey, great idea

A nurse friend of mine and I were talking about our hair. I'm trying to grow mine out and she mentioned that I should start taking prenatal vitamins because they're good for hair. I wanted to say, "sister, if that were the case, I'd have hair down to my ankles by now." Gotta love helpful hints.
