referral

Well, we finally got the referral for the testicular ultrasound. DH is nervous to schedule it. I don't blame him. Anyone have any experience with these? Should I go with him? Why does this have to be so hard?

One baby shower down, (hopefully only) two more to go in the next couple of months!

I'm having a good weekend sitting home while it rains and is cold. B just went out for some groceries so I can make him cookies tonight. Yum.

    That must take some super-woman courage to go to baby showers, Emmy. I don't think I'll be going to any anytime soon... I feel bad about it, but I just can't do it. Any advice? Were you ultimately glad you were there for your friend(s)?

    I was glad I was there for my friends, but it was hard. Fortunately, I was with one of the coworkers who knows my situation and she started the party off great with a few snarky comments. And we went from there. I couldn't have done it without back-up.

    I'm most worried about the one at the end of March-- for one of B's cousins. His family is flying across the country to be there and to hang out with me. How can I say, "Don't ask us about kids!" without raising suspicion? Any ideas?

    Can you have DH deflect their questions? Sometimes I will tell my DH before we see his parents to deal with their annoying, pushy comments/questions about our IF/RPL issues because I just don't want to deal with them. Often times he's able to talk to him mom ahead of time and talk to her about keeping her mouth shut... doesn't always work, though... but it works better than me giving them the cold shoulder or just plain being rude when the subject arises.

    I don't know... that's a tough situation! I feel for you :( I just had to tell my mom that I will not go to the baby shower of an old friend of mind (our moms are BFFs) - she's going to have to go alone or not go at all. I feel bad, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

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
