The Venting Hour

November 20, 2006

CD# 24.

Wow, didn't realize I was that far into my cycle. It's the move. I feel like I lost a whole month and I think that I have. I missed a couple days of temping when I accidently left my thermometer at the old house for 2 days and I haven't really been testing with the OPKs. I tested a couple days early this month like around CD10 and got a faint line and I started testing again today to see if I might be able to salvage this month and I got a faint line this morning. So who knows what that means.

This in between stuff where you don't know if you are coming or going it the worse part. I don't know if I am ovulating and it is really irratating that I can't do something that is just soo natural. I finally said something to my mom today about not ovulating. Now, You have to understand that I don't have a really close relationship with my mom. Wish I did, but it's just not that way. If something is bothering my I call my SIL (married to Jake's older bro). So telling her was a huge step for me. Well, she seemed genuinely surprised, which shouldn't surprise me because she has 4 kids all about 2 years apart and my older sister got pregnant when she was 18 when she was on the pill. She ended up having an abortion, but that was her choice and not the one that I would have made. I know this is probably very hypocritical or me because I am pro choice, but it's not one that I would personally make and when she did that I lost a lot of respect for her. Not saying that it isn't a viable option for people, but you make your bed you should have to sleep in it.

Anyways, Sorry about the rambling. I will let you know what happens with AF. I should be in the 2ww now, but maybe not. I didn't ovulate last cycle and that was like 30 days long I think. I can't remember now. I feel like I skipped the whole month of October and went right on to Novemeber. and next week it will be december.

YEA! Xmas is my favorite holiday by far. The smell of fresh cut trees, the lights, the cuddling on the couch with hot cocco, ice skating, caroling, everything oh and of course the snow.  Yup that's right SNOW. Bring it on now. The big move is over we can have snow till March for all I care. I live in Southeastern Wisconsin, so snow is a pretty common thing. I remember waking up for Thanksgiving when I was a kid once and having a foot of snow on the ground. That's the best memories. That's also why I won't move south for a while. My kids need to have a little of the same experiences that I have had.  I think my love for snow comes from being born 3 days after xmas even if it was 65 degrees that xmas and my parents Barbequed. December 28th. I'll be 24 years old. and hopefully pregnant. Ok, I think that I have rambled on long enough.

 So, to all the ladies out there....

Good luck and Baby Dust to All.
