Happy Halloween!!
Well AF found me ... which I had thought she might since I had a four to five day cut-off again, and do not think that is too easy to get pregnant with. I will try to get closer this time. I am hoping my cycles will actually get regular so I can plan, but that life :) I still think I am recovering from childbirth, because my LP phase is only 11-12 days, which I am usually a 13-14 day person. Short LP phases are common after childbirth, from what I have read in my NFP (natural family planning) books. I am so thankful that DH's national guard weekend will be out of the way this weekend. For the last two months, it has fallen during our fertile time.
My best friend found a lump in her breast a couple of months back, and thought not much of it, until it didn't go away. So she went in and the doctor seems really concerned. It's scary to think that a woman who is 38 can have possible breast cancer. But now she's having nipple discharge, and is hoping it's just an infection. After the tests, it will be probably another week before we know.
I am going to start a quilt. I have never made one and really want to, so I am going to just do a square one first. Just for the price of the stuff to cut fabric with (a board, rotary cutter, and a square measuring thing) you could buy one of the quilt sets they sell at all of the stores, LOL. Not to mention all of the fabric and time ... but they are so beautiful, and if it turns out I want to make the boys an "I spy quilt." If you don't know what that is, it is a square quilt, where each square has an object in it, like an animal, toy, flower, etc. They are fun looking.
Here's hoping we can have a August baby :)
