HAPPY THANKSGIVING-
October 14th was Canadian Thanksgiving. We drove to my Aunts house about 2 hours away to spend a couple of days for the long weekend. She makes an amazing meal which is always followed by incredibly sinful desserts. We had a better than great time. We did, although, manage to tick off the in-laws by missing their festivities. After almost 7 years of juggling our families, I am still unsure how to keep everyone happy! Last year we spent both Thanksgiving and Christmas at their home. 3 days after delivering Clayton, I slept in a bed that was not my own, with my son and husband, and with a bag of peas on my chest to help numb the pain. My MIL is a fabulous lady, but has absolutely no tact. As we opened presents Christmas morning, but SIL’s new baby would not stop crying. My MIL told me that maybe I should try feeding him to calm him down. That still gets to me. Holy cow am I ever off track! Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving from the OVEREATER!
MY LITTLE HOCKEY PLAYER-
Maxwell had an incredible weekend. My cousin is 13 and an absolute hockey nut! Max played hockey with him all weekend and even left with a new pair of the smallest hockey gloves I have ever seen! When I dropped him off at my moms house this morning he was decked out in pajama pants, a hockey jersey, helmet, gloves and of course a stick! Gee, I wonder what they are going to be doing today?
BYE, BUY HOUSE-
Our house is officially on the market. We cleaned up like crazy yesterday! I washed walls, straightened linen closets and even mopped my cement basement floor. Now I don’t want to leave! I just hope that it sells fast. I am not going to able to keep it this clean for long! The realtor thinks it will only take about a week, so please keep your fingers crossed!
I FINALLY GET IT-
Well, after posting an entry on Precon about what a geek I was when it came to TTC Courtney came to my rescue. She posted on my board and told me that she would be happy to send me her copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility. I thought, yeah sure. Low and behold about 2 weeks later a packaged arrived with a book and a note. The note spoke of how she hoped that this would help us get pregnant and that when it does I should pass it on to help someone else. What a fabulous idea. So after receiving the book and reading it, I think I actually know the exact day that I ovulated! I know, I was shocked too! So if after my 2WW I return to tell you that I am expecting I will have her to thank. (Thanks Courtney, you are the coolest!)
SINGLE AGAIN
Mike left again this morning for another 2 weeks. I am officially single and hating it. I admit it. I am one of those girls who needs her mate. I am so un-independent it is sick. I miss him most at night, I just don’t sleep as well without him. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE having the bed to myself to stretch out, but I do miss him.
THE DREADED DECISION-
Well, on November 1st I have an appointment with my OB to get the big tests done to determine whether our TTC time is up. On the weekend Mike asked what we would do if he told us that we needed to start treatments. (Of course the doctor can’t MAKE us stop trying, he can just strongly recommend it) After a lengthy discussion that really got us nowhere we decided just to wait and see. But I know that Mike would want to stop trying. He has said so many times that he would do nothing to sacrifice my health, and reminds me that we have a healthy, happy little boy at home. I am torn, what would you do?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I hope that everyone has a great week. Congrats to all of the new mommies on PG and good luck to all of the future mommies on Precon!
