Shannon's Diary Entries

Diary Navigation:

What a week!!

November 8, 2006

CD# 12

I have to tell you all. Dealing with ttc and buying a house. It's no wonder why I am not pregnant yet. Well, last month turned out to be a bust. Just a couple days after I wrote my diary entry AF showed her ugly face. I was more shocked than anything. No sypmtoms that she was coming, nothing. But everything showed after, acne, back cramps and headaches. The things I usually get the week before she comes. Oh well.

But this means that I had a cycle and didn't ovulate. That makes me worry all the more. I am a little, well a little more than little overweight and I wonder, is that the reason. I can't give up Culver's burgers, so I can't have kids. Then the smoking. Something that I have cut WAY down on, but have been doing a lot lately (more later in the entry). Are my bad habits enough to make my body say no maybe next time. It makes me want to cry. So, more on the ttc front. I don't know if I ovuated already or it was just the remants of AF. On Monday, CD10, I got a faint line on the OPK and my temp was up, so maybe I ovulate really early or maybe my body is saying no maybe next month. And no line on Tuesday. I don't know. With us buying the house and everything, it would probably be better for us to wait a couple months, but we have been waiting for a long time already. Plus, it's not like the kid would be here next week. I really wanted to have everyone at my new house for xmas and announce we were pregnant, but I just don't think that it will happen.

 

I read some of the other diaries this week and I feel for you all. Maybe this is a TTC slump. I was talking to a girl that I work with about another girl, who just had a baby about 2 months ago. It just kills me that this girl is younger than I am with 2 kids that she doesn't really want and in the long run I am supporting her through my taxes. It just upsets me tons. And it's really not fair.

On happier news, Jake and I are now offically homeowners. It's been a hectic week. We are doing some improntu kitchen remodeling before we move in this weekend. I sometime think that I am seriously crazy. I let my dh, his dad and 3 brothers tear apart my kitchen. (The reason for my added smoking) When one who knew what he was doing was leaving the next day for 4 days and my FIL had should surgery yesterday. YIKES. All because I ripped down the wallpaper. Crazy me. I must have had that look that I was about to burst into tears all weekend. Everytime I would walk into the kitchen, everyone would tell me that it will look great when it's done. I know it will, but that's not going to make me stop stressing about it now. UGH!

 But it's a great house that has sooo much character. We found out at the closing on Friday that we are the only non family members to ever own our house. How cool is that? Considering that the house was built in 1901. Awesome.  I can't wait to raise kids in there. My 3 year old nephew has already picked his room out. He's our godson and is just soo cute. One of my girlfriends told her boyfriend that she wanted a 3 year old boy for xmas. He told her good luck with that. I told her that's kidnapping. ; ). Well, I think I have gone on enough. I hope everyone's week gets better.

Happy TTCing.

Baby Dust to All......
