The laughter, tears, and anomalies of trying to create a family and a place in this world. There are no guarantees.

CD 47 - Randomness


While I am anxiously waiting for the days to pass, here are my random thoughts:

1) My oh my! I sure seem to look bloated these days.

2) The other night my ordinarily cautious husband forgot to change the needle on my progesterone shot from the lower gauge to the 'more comfortable' higher one...OUCH!


3) If I yell "MOTHER" every time I get a shot in my rear, does that bring me closer to actual motherhood???


4) Our life has been fully infiltrated by IF speak. Take for example, my husband was cooking dinner for us and I asked him, "which side?" to which he replied, "kale". Indeed I was going to make kale to go with our meal, but I asked him this as I held my trusty ice pack, inquiring about which side of my rear we were supposed to be injecting.


5) I have wonderful friends, I mean truly wonderful. During this cycle I have been the recipient of a beautifully made heating pack, a great book to help me pass the 2 ww, and today I received milk and warm cookies from a local delivery service. Can you really beat that?


6) I am continually thankful for all of the wonderful comments that I have received from fellow bloggers. It has made a tremendous difference in walking this path and I don't know what I would do without all of your support and encouragement. Thank you!

My friend used to yell "make babies!" when she gave herself shots. It worked b/c she has twins!

If yelling mother works, I'm sooooo copying you when I move onto IVF.

I'd follow that scream of "mother" with an f-word that accompanies it quite well.

I'm so glad you have such great support, and I'm sending you a lot of positive thoughts.

Man, I'm so bloated too! Your friends sound so great. And the online friends are such a huge help, I agree.

Good luck this 2ww!
