It´s Monday. I can´t even think of a title. Just wanted to say that now my lovely husband is playing his part in Trying To Conceive - that boy started taking a multi-vitamin : ) I know that´s not really a big deal, but it feels good to know he cares enough to take it. I love him! I also am really amazed at his optimisim and confidence. Yesterday we were taking our normal Sunday drive and talking about the future and our babies and how exciting it will be to be pregnant again. I mentioned how I was going to be so scared and worried about losing the baby the whole time again and he says, in the sweetest most sincere tone of voice, ¨oh my gosh Katie why are you even thinking like that? That it´s going to happen again.¨ It hurt my heart. He really really does not think I will have another mc. I sure hope he is right. I also have done some talking with myself and think I have finally convinced myself that I will not do early bloodwork, progesterone supplements (well, maybe these) and early ultrasounds this time around. When it comes down to it, it will either be a good pregnancy or a bad one. The past has proven that no matter what I do early on, it´s either viable or not. So I am going to try to be as naive as all women are the first time they get knocked up and call the doctor when I get a postive test, go in around 8 or 9 weeks and find out then. What I do with myself in those 4 weeks in between, only God knows. Hope he has a plan to keep me distracted. Maybe I will bust out the sewing machine again!
The plan for this month is lots more sex. I am going to shoot for every other day. Maybe more if I am feeling up to it. I have already started the green tea til O time. And I have tried to figure out how to say pomegranate in Spanish. I need some damn pom juice! Jugo de.... granada?? I think that might be right. I did see some healthy natural juice crap over in a corner of a new supermarket the other day... it looked like the Odwalla stuff, just not Odwalla. Might pick up some tussin too.

Oh look, it´s almost 7:00!

Game Over

So I had been feeling really hopeful the other day. Like really hopeful. When I finally bought the folic acid I was like ¨wow, there is a chance I might actually have a baby in my belly¨ and I got excited. Well this morning the curiousity was KILLING me.... I even bought a bib has a monkey on it and says ¨Troublemaker¨ to give to Franco when I get a positive pee stick... I broke down and took a test this morning as soon as I got home from the store. Clearly, it was negative : ( My body told me thanks for playing, better luck next time.

Then, I kid you not, two and a half minutes later I get kind of crampy and feel the urge to go to the bathroom. Sure enough, Aunt Flow decided to come to visit SIX DAYS EARLY! wtf. My body told me thanks for playing, better luck next time... m

AND my cycles have always been normal, unless I screwed up my birth control on occasion, which I have been on for years. Now, I am thinking I get the pleasure of dealing with screwy cycles since the pills are out of the question.

Lovely.

cycle # 1 = FAIL.

But in better news, I finally found some Ovulation Predictor pee sticks too! Guess I am gonna go back to the store and buy them.

Note to self: start peeing on them Cycle Day 10 at 2pm - repeat until I get a ¨surge.¨ Figure out what surge is.

Update

Wow, it´s been a while. Guess you can tell I have been trying to distract myself this 2 week wait. Longest.few.days.ever. My little ticker countdown thing I have on the bump says to test in 3 days (the 23rd) - when I set it up I did it based off of a 28 day cycle, probably shoulda been 30. I am trying to hold out until the 27th, that´s when AuntFlow usually shows up at the front door. We will see. Franco is really excited and even just texted me to ask when I am going to test. Symptoms? Sore boobs, a little tired, nothing to obvious yet. We shall see...

God, if you are listening, please let this be it. You know how horrible my patience is.

Tuesssssday afternooooon

Ooooh oooooh this my shit. Green tea is my new bff. For a while anywho.

Do you know how bad I want to start peeing on OPKs? I seriously think I might go on a mission tonight. There are how many farmacias in this town? Chingos! Surely one will have them. I checked Wal Mart and another super store - no luck yet!

I am so glad I have not reached the point where the only reason/motivation to have sex is a baby yet. It makes me feel really sorry for those girls on the Bump board when I read those posts. I still enjoy sex with my man! Although I will confess, this will be in the back of my mind during tonights lovemakin session



Wondering who I can pursuade to buy me this.... I would die.

Sunday Funday

For as long as I can remember, we have had our Sunday morning sex session. And the one Sunday we didn´t, last Sunday, turned out to be one of the worst days in history. We both mentioned to each other that we thought this had something to do with it.

Yesterday, we did it in the ocean. Gotta switch it up, ya know?

...8 days til O.

ps - Sex in the ocean is WAY better than sex on the beach. You don´t get sand all up in your crevices.
