June 6, 2000

Hey people! Congratulations to Lynne! And Becky and Ann and Christy! Geez, we are having a baby boom this month! Who could be next? I wonder...

Well, I am in the midst of using an OPK right now. It was a five-kit thing where you start testing several days before you are supposed to O. So far, everything has been negative; but, I only have used two of the five. You know, my mind is going crazy this month. I am obsessed with having a baby, and that can't be healthy. It's scaring me. If I get PG, then I am never doing this again. I can't, it's too hard on me.

Ian and I were walking through Cary town, this area where there are little shops and such. It is so quaint and beautiful. Well, we saw this little shop where they sell antique clothes and other things. Ian bought his tux for our wedding there. Well, it was closed, but we saw these antique 1930's baby clothes in the window. When we find out that we are PG, we are going to buy a few things in there and especially a coming-from-the-hospital outfit. They were so cute and interesting.

I could not find a BBT or the TCOYF book anywhere! So, my mom called me and told me she went over the internet and bought both and they should be coming through the mail any day now. I have to pay her back. So, watch me get PG once all the money was spent on BBT, OPK and these books. It will be a waste of money; but, a GOOD waste of money. I'd just have to send a care package to one of my Preconception.com buddies.

I really think that this is not our month. I just am used to the "-" on the PG test. I really don't feel that it will never happen for us. I am on C#10 now. You know, I have not been preventing since April of ‘99, though, so what's that? 14 cycles? I am VERY, VERY discouraged! I am on CD#13 now, too. We BD'd on CD#9 and 10. Nothing on 11 and 12 and I am upset about missing those. Well, day 12, anyway. I was just sooo tired.

I am in desperate need of a new job. It takes so much out of me. Ian and I are only together seven hours out of the day and sometimes I am sleeping then. I hate this. I want nine-to-five, Monday-to-Friday. Hey! Can anyone suggest a nice little town on the west coast or near there? I'd need to be able to get a job and a nice place to rent. We are looking towards California, Colorado, New Mexico, we are keeping an open mind, though. Are there any suggestions? We are game. Tell me about your town. We live in the city of Richmond now and I don't like the fast pace. E-mail me or just post it on my 'talk to me' boards.

Okay, this is a long one. I guess I'll cut it off now. Thanks everyone for the support and ++++ vibes to y’all!
