"2ww"

July 13, 2006

Okay... I know, I know, I've been on iParenting forever (well, it seems like forever, cause it was a good four years on teens and then the lurking for years before) but sadly... I don't actually know many of these different little acronyms. (Khy, remember "kwim"?) I know what most of them mean, for the most part but what they litterally stand for is beyond me. So, my request here is that those who do know, post them on my ttmb.

Go directly to my TTM board and leave me a message by clicking HERE.

We're into that "2ww" (which could mean weight watchers the second generation for all that I know ) *I believe 2ww is 2week waiting*.  It's frustrating at the least.  I am trying so very hard not to talk about it, as I've gotten people excited only to be disappointing them and having to deal with it myself again at the end of the cycle.  It's a frustrating battle this ttc thing (yeah I know, that's trying to conceive!).  There are so many different things that make me think "maybe" but at the same point I think I'm at day (is it?) 6dpo.  I don't think there are any true signs at this point that I would really actually sense... and nothing horribly abnormal either.  I have a bloody nose now which is abnormal, but I don't think it's pregnancy related

Eddie (dh) is excited and anxious just as am I. He usually tells me to shush and not tell anyone during this 2ww.  So... this month I decided to only share with my internet pals what's going on (and anyone else that I know in real life who linked to this diary weeks ago when I posted it on my myspace.com page--which you can link to by clicking on my name in the ttm board's and going to my homepage).  Eddie last night actually asked "Are you feeling anything yet?".  It was sweet and I had to laugh.  I said "I'm tired and peeing a lot.  But, I'm always tired (working 100 hour weeks tends to do that to you--even if you are sleeping at work), and I don't know how much I urinated before, so it may not have changed".  Either way we're hopeful and wish we never had to hear that commercial for EPT again!  I know you've heard it... "Science is close to creating a test to find out if you're pregnant at the time of conception, but for now we have a test that you can take five days before your missed period".  ...urg, impatience!

  So.... here's hoping all of us on the ttc/precon boards are pregnant this month.    And, if not all of us, at least one of us.  (whoever that may be!)  We should place some bets.  ...I think it's going to be Shy!

A quick  hysterical story: (you'll see why that face when you read)

My cousin and I went out to eat yesterday.  She brought her lil guy with her (he's almost 8 mon) and boy oh boy was he adorable!  I had to grab onto him and hold him to me praying that he'll promote my fertility (a friend did this and actually did get pregnant!).  While I was holding him and he was hugging and kissing up on me (aka drooling), I smelled something funny.  It wasn't gross... just different.  So, being the non-mom I smelled his diaper... but it wasn't that stank-nasty-doody stench, so I figured I'd look.

I realized he had pooped when I felt the gushyness on my fingers.  HAH!

That's all for today ladies (and any gents that may or may not be out there).  Hopefully I'll have more information in a week.  If not... we have a dr. appt. on the 25'th to talk about the cycle and my displasia--urg.  I hope it's gone away.  If not... we may be putting off a month of ttc to take care of it (although I really really hope it's gone and we can keep trying!)

Take care everyone...
