April 29, 2000

Hey people! I am feeling much better and a lot more optimistic! I know that I probably lost a lot of readers from all the anger that was apparent from my last entry. Sorry guys! I probably don't need to tell you if you are reading the Preconception diaries that times are hard sometimes when you are TTC. Luckily, all of this is not hurting mine and DH's relationship at all. It seems to just bring us closer and lean more on each other.

Well, our friends from California will be here on the 23rd of May. They will be bringing their newborn with them. She is a cute little fat baby named Rain that was born in January. I can't wait to meet her. We are already getting the house ready for a short but wonderful stay. We want everything to be clean and beautiful for them and their baby. I can't wait!

This month is the month that I am going to finally buy the book TCOYF, get a OPK, and start temping. On the 25th of May, I have an appointment with my GYN. I am also going to constantly tell myself that I will get PG when the time is right and when God wants me to have a child and there is no reason to get my panties in a bunch just because it doesn't happen right away.

Today, when I went to the tanning bed, there was this girl there who I was talking to about having a baby. She said, "God, you have been trying for 8 months?! Maybe you can't have kids!" I felt like smacking her in the face. Just because she is this little brat who is just worried about her parents buying her a new car and what shoes might go best with her outfit doesn't mean that is the only thing I care about. I mean, is it me or was that statement extremely insensitive? I politely explained to her that it is really not that rare for people to take a little longer than others. A doctor really won't talk to me until I have been trying for at least a year.

Anyway, I hope I haven't lost any of y’all again. Geez! I have a lot of animosity, don't I? I am going to work on that this month. I would really like for everybody to keep me in their prayers and cross their fingers. Not only to get PG; but, to be able to handle it when my AF comes along. It's getting hard.

+++++++++++++ vibes to everybody!!!!!!!
