So, apparently, all I needed to do was write about AF to get her to show! So far, it's not too crampy.

So, the appointment is in 2.5 hours. It is almost 40 miles away, but we are allowing over an hour and a half to get there, since we do have to go into LA. I am so nervous. They said it would be a 60-90 minute appointment, complete with semen analysis that we'll get to see under the microscope too (not that there will be anything to see).

I don't know what to expect or hope for. Best case is that they will really look all through the semen and find a handful of sperm. Please, oh please find something. Anything that can give us a biological child. Please, pretty please.

I probably won't be home and able to update until 7pm my time (pacific), but I will as soon as I can!

Think spermie thoughts for us!

And, thank you for all of your thoughts and support. I've never felt less alone in the world.

    I'll probably be in bed when you get in, but I'm really pulling for you! Wishing you lots and lots of sperm that was just hiding before!!!!!

    P.S. My word verification is "juggly" so maybe your husband just needs to juggle the guys around a little...

    Hope the appointment went well! If it wasn't what you hoped for, just remember that there are lots of steps in this journey, and you will be OK.

    Thinking of you!

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
