Hi Ladies!!
Sassy—Love your blog! I can’t wait to read more about it. Feel free to add the idiosyncrasies of the sisterhood. As crazy as we all are, people will probably think you are making it all up anyway. lol
I also have a black thumb. I kill everything green that I touch, including money.
My MIL on the other hand loves to garden and is good at it. She loves to come to my house and do her thing. Hey, less work for me.
I love basil. Basil and tomato with cheese is my fav. Sorry to hear about your Estrogen levels. Hope your extra needle pushes you over that hump.
Amy—We did the Zima with the grenadine also. There was a bar near my university that had $1 Zima’s on Thursday nights. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh, those were the days. I thought I was so cool because I was actually drinking a beer. lol I hate the taste of beer but I could tolerate Zima’s, especially with the grenadine.
Patie—Ooohhhhhhh, I’ve always wanted a bonsai tree, especially after Karate Kid. But like I mentioned earlier. I kill everything green. DH wants to hire landscapers to redo front yard. I know it’s going to cost an arm and a leg but if we do it, we’ll end up paying them more….first to do undo what we did and then to do it correctly.
Fee—Can’t imagine you cleaning a toilet. Not our royal highness.
Angie—how are you feeling? When is your next scan?
Meg—Hope you stuffed your face and had a ball with mom and sis. I want to hear all about it.
Jenn—I would love to see your pictures. I will live vicariously through you.
Coco--Where is our under ground potato?
Vicky—I know of a clinic that sends you a letter before your initial appointment and in the letter it states that the clinic would prefer that you not bring children to the clinic. I thought that was so awesome. I’m sure some people get offended but hey, they should understand that it’s hard for some women to be arounf children, especially after a BFN.
Mel—I’m fine. Just waiting for my u/s. The doctor moved it up a day to Thursday because he has a procedure on Friday. I’m just very eager to find out what’s going on inside me. DH has told everyone in the free world about the pregnancy. Goodness gracious!! He needs to have a tattoo on his damn head that says “DADDY TO BE!” Maybe we should get him a wife beater that says “do in ??” Geesh.
He says to everyone…”Hey, how are you? I’m going to be a dad.”
We saw a distant family friend in the market tonight and he told him we were expecting while we were in the produce section. The guy immediately looked at my belly. I already have a muffin top so it looks like I’m showing already. I swear I wanted to crawl into the lettuce bin and wait for the sprinklers to come on. I haven’t told everyone….waiting until the ultrasound and/or end of first trimester. But close friends and family know.
Speaking of…Ms. NEGA (a friend of mine that is always negative and because IVF didn’t work for her, she always made me feel like it wouldn’t work for me). She is negative about everything especially IVF. She is in the process of adopting now. But anyway, she asked me today if I have been back to the doctor. I replied yes (via IM) and then said I’ll be right back and never came back. Not sure how to tell her. Any ideas? I will probably not see her anytime soon maybe not in a while because we live so far from each other. So I guess I shouldn’t be worried. Also, my best friend is having fertility issues. She has made an appointment with two RE’s. She also lives in a different state but I will see her Easter weekend (that’s when I will tell my dad, step mom and sisters). But anyway, I haven’t called her and asked how her appointments have gone. I feel like such a bad friend but I’m not sure how to respond when she asks me what’s going on with me. We have been friends since 3rd grade and I have never lied to her. She knows me better than I know myself. I have been keeping her informed of pretty much all that is going on with me. She even knows that we were thinking about doing IVF (didn’t give exact details to her). But when she asks me about it I have no idea how to respond. She made a joke along time ago saying that if I have twins, can she have one. lol But how do you tell your best friend that you are prego when she is having difficulty. For the first time, I am on the other side of the fence. Forever I have been that friend that everyone is afraid to tell that she is pregnant. Now, I don’t know how to be that person that is afraid to tell others that are having problems that she is pregnant. WE are so close and it saddens me. We are the friends who are suppose to raise our children together. Don’t get me wrong, I am overjoyed about my BFP. I wouldn’t want it any other way. It’s hard to explain. Sorry, I’m rambling now. lol
Going to finish watching American Idol and then heading off to bed. Good Night (or morning) eveyone.
Love, Hugs, and baby dust to all!
… so well, but I do agonize with you! And I read your good news on the other thread! Way to go, I cannot wait to hear your progress!
DH immediately puts up a wall! My DH can handle it better if I calmly sit down with him and let him know how his behavior is making me feel. Instead of attacking him for what he is doing. (Wow, maybe pre-marital counseling did work lol). But anyway, maybe DH doesn’t know how his behavior is making you feel. He could be really stressed at work and bringing it home and is unaware of how it is affecting you.
