Day off

Yesterday was a nice day off for me.  I really didn't leave the house over my 3 day weekend, which made it feel pretty long. 

Perhaps not the smartest idea, but I spent yesterday on the couch reading IVF/IF blogs and watching the Jon and Kate + 8 marathon.  An interesting dichotomy, to say the least! 

I don't know why, but I feel like I have started this week with a weight lifted off of my shoulders.  I don't know if reading about others' struggles made me feel better about our outlook, or if the humor I read in some blogs affected me more than I thought.  Either way, I'll take it while it lasts.

Next Tuesday is the big urology appointment.  I'm a bit anxious for that, and know that my formerly banished (due to ttc) ativan will come in handy that day.  I'm sure I'll feel completely differently next week or perhaps tomorrow or in  a few hours, but I'll enjoy this peace while I can! 

<I wonder if this has something to do with last night's ativan, or the large quantities of alcohol I consumed over the weekend....>

    Glad you enjoyed your day off. Reading other IVF/IF blogs mostly makes me feel a bit better too (although sometimes it can also completely freak me out). Good luck next Tuesday. *ICLW#39*

    The comfort I get out of watching J&K+8 is that they had to try long and hard for their children ... and just how positively adorable those kids are!

    I'm glad you are feeling good even if it is just for right now. Don't feel bad about not leaving the house sometimes I spend a full day in front of the computer really achieving nothing other then ignoring life but once in awhile that is just what I need.

    I will be thinking about you next Tuesday.

    I think I worked myself into a frenzy before each of DH's urologist visits that I attended. I think it was mostly because DH looked so nervous and I wasn't used to seeing that. My thoughts are with you guys!

    GL at the urologist appointment! I'm always so excited and nervous before (hopefully) informative dr. visits like that. My DH has a female urologist which was a little weird :)

It's you!

"It's you!  I just know it!  You've lost some weight, it must be because of the morning sickness!" No, it's not me.  I'm not pregnant. "But is HAS to be you.  Who else could it be?  You just don't want to tell because it is too early" No, really.  It's not me.  I promise.  I haven't cheated on my husband.   "Well, who else could it be?" Um, one of the other 20 teachers of child bearing age at this school.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've guessed the other two pregnant teachers, before I even knew there were pregnant teachers at my school.  I have 'pregodar' (like gaydar, but for preggos) and really can sense the preggos around me.  I hadn't pegged a 3rd teacher, but I heard a rumor that there is a third when I started being hounded, and I think I have it figured out.  Its the one on her 3rd engagement and 3rd marriage in 5 years.  She's reaching the top of her realistic baby time, so it makes sense.

plugging along

There really isn't much to say at this point.  I'm plugging along, doing fine. Yesterday, I bowed out of a BBQ with B's family.  In May I mentioned BIL's ex and her "surprise" (planned) pregnancy.  One of the reasons for this BBQ was for BIL's birthday, and she decided to drive down to attend (she's still living 5-6 hours away).  She's like 26 weeks pregnant, and the thought of having to spend the day with her made me feel ill.  BIL isn't planning on living with her and the baby or marrying her, but will go visit often.  She is such an attention whore, I couldn't deal with her talking about the baby and flaunting the fact that she is still around because of it.  I've felt a little bit of a cold coming on, so I exaggerated it and stayed home.  I did end up throwing up my dinner, so I'm glad I didn't go. I felt a little guilty about skipping out on this, but I got over it quickly.  MIL was hoping that B and I would announce our

off with the crazies

Well, as expected, I had a pretty crappy Christmas.  Christmas eve was actually the best part.  We always celebrate on Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family.  That was actually fine.  Christmas day, not so much.  First, at my dad's side of the family lunch, I've never felt like such an outsider.  Christmas at the IL's started out fine.  BIL's dumb girlfriend decided to group each person's gifts in a pile, and we opened gifts one person at a time.  This took forever, and was kind of annoying.  For this group, we set up a gift exchange with B's brothers, so that we didn't have to buy for everyone.  I did the arranging for this, and think I did a good job.  I gave everyone opportunity to give input and include anyone else who was not included (didn't know if BIL's girlfriend was coming), compiled the responses, and sent out the information.  After all of that, B's brother went and got something for everyone, which really set me off.  Be
