Jasmine,
The snow sounds beautiful! I can probably deal with it for a few days, while on vacation, but thats about it lol. Congrats on your townhouse
!! Move in date will be here before you know it-YAY!!! I think vegas is right-things seem to be going your way so a BFP cant be very far behind!! Remember that you were pretty sure that you wouldnt get the townhouse (there were too many applicants, you didnt get the paperwork in promptly, etc) BUT, you see??! You still got it!! Btw, I lold when you said your nickname for eva is eva diva! Thats too cute!
Yes, I do have to undergo further tests to confirm a match. I wont be sent for tests until he is accepted as a recipient. Supposedly he should know the answer in about 1 month or so. I wish they would hurry up!! I think I will put a hold on ttc for the next cycle. Ill still keep temping and using FF, I want to just keep an eye on my cycle. Thanks for the hopeful words about your mum having twins at 44. My paternal grandmother was 41 or so when she had my youngest uncle, so I guess thats some consolation.
When do u think you will O this month?
Vegas,
I think I will take a break from ttc for at least this cycle. I like your point-that either way, I will be giving life. Thank you! Oh, and I like your solution to keep Charlotte sleeping through the nite. Pink ice cream?? Awesome! Hey, whatever works, right? A little sugar never hurt anyone. Its not like youre giving her alcohol or something LOL!
I start using my opks on CD 10s FMU, and when I start seeing a faint line, then I will switch to testing 3x/day. I just make sure to take a couple of opks and those little disposable ppr cups-kind of like smaller Dixie cups? I have hundreds of those cups because I use them to make (adult) jello shooters for special occasions lol! Anyways, I just do it in the stall discreetly..also bring a baggie with me, pop it in the baggie, and take it with me back to my office to scrutinize it lol! Im sure you can work it out.
Oh, and I also ordered some cheapie wondfo opks and pg tests from ebay. I can stop paying $1 a test for the opks!
Jennc,
Yes, you are right. I like how you put it, and I truly never thought if it this way!! I mean, really when you think about it, you have adopted a child. He just happens to be the biological child of your husband I really do feel like I have helped raise my stepson, I treat him as if he were mine, and I will do anything for him. I am not presumptious enough to think that I am his mom, I dont want to offend any mothers out there, but I do my best
his mom didnt like me from the beginning because he (SS) loved me and couldnt stop talking about me. She was very jealous and it took her a while to accept me. I know I dont have any children of my own yet, but I think to myself If I had my own children, and they had a stepmother, I would WANT their stepmother to love them. I wouldnt feel threatened or jealous. I would be so grateful and it would take a load off my mind to know that my child was living with someone who loved them-who else to take better care of your child than someone who loves them too? And it goes beyond that--the more people in a childs life that loves them, the better for the child. Its a positive thing, right? Backstory-we had 50/50 custody of him up until 5 years ago. She decided to move 75 miles away and thought she could just take him with her. Thats when we had to get the courts involved. It was a long, expensive, and bitter custody fight, but thankfully, we were awarded primary custody. It really is in SSs best interest to stay with us and not move with her. When the temporary order was announced, she was alone in court, (her DH was working, I believe). I went up to her afterwards to comfort her, I felt so bad that she was crying, and although she brought it all upon herself, my heart broke for her. I told her here is my cell. If you dont want to call him (meaning my DH, her ex husband), call me for anything you need, changes to visitation, favors, etc etc. I am not his mother, Im not trying to be his mother, he doesnt need a mother, youre his mother.
YOU will
ALWAYS be his mother.
Sorry to hear your family isnt supportive
thats too bad. Its so nice to be able to call up someone to vent
(but not too much, right, because then they will just resent DH!). Im glad that bnb is providing you support and helping you in that regard. Yall do the same for me!! Im glad DH is starting to come around somewhat. Baby steps!!
I hope you had fun at your get-together. FX that AF comes soon!!!
Angel,
Hoping you got in lots of BDing!!!!
Oh, I LOVE temping too!!. My dropping temps totally kept me from poas starting 11dpo--or else I probably would have kept poas until af got me on Sunday!!!
Love love your box!!! I think Jasmine was right-it might be upsetting for now but it will I am positive that it will bring you comfort in the future!!
Jenkb,
What "no testing early" pact? Whatcha talking about????????????
ha ha j/k. I believe I said next cycle hee hee!
I totally know what youre saying. I kind of feel that if I
am a match, and I
DO donate, then I didnt lose my angel for nothing
if I was still pregnant, I wouldnt be able to donate, however much I may want to.
I feel like it gives meaning to the loss of my angel, and that comforts me.You are right-if if was DH that was in my position, I would def have the same concerns. I like how you put it ttc is very important as well and that it is not a matter of choosing my uncle over a baby, rather me wanting to find a way to have everything I think Ill use that in our conversation!!!
Im happy that your new job is working out well for you and that things are good in your world! FX af comes in a week!!
Sweetmomma,
Hope you start feeling better SOON!
AFM,
This morning I accompanied my uncle to his drs appts as his patient advocate and to take notes, ask questions, etc. Normally my mom or my aunties join him, but they all went out of town for a girls weekend, so I volunteered. The hospital and his drs offices are right across the street from my office, so it was no big deal. Anyways, he still has more tests to take before they categorically accept him as a recipient, or deny him.
Last week I mentioned that this upcoming weekend we are going out of town to the mountains, Im totally looking forward to that! I also called my younger brother and told him that when the topic of liver donation comes up, to be positive (my younger brother is also very negative about me donating). I told him look, DH isnt very happy with all this and I certainly dont need you to encourage him in his negativity. I mean, can you imagine if DH gets more ammunition from my brother and my father??
That is all I need! My brother and I came to an understanding
if he cant say anything nice/positive, then hes not going to say anything at all! Hed better stick to it and keep his mouth shut lol!
I will be putting my old pregnancy journal in the box with the rest of the stuff. I will buy a new one for the new baby.
I hope af continues to stay away and she doesn't come today like you think she might. I am sorry to hear your yard turned into a mud pit!! Hope things dry up soon so you can start wearing better shoes (and get things finished up).
with my multi-quotes lol. You guys get the gist.
But haha, I found the humping smileys. Victory is mine!
